Trump Refuses to Pause Tariffs, Discusses Aid and Displacement with Netanyahu
In a series of recent statements and meetings, former U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he is not considering a pause on tariffs, particularly in relation to China and Israel. During a press conference, Trump emphasized that any discussions regarding tariffs with China would be postponed until 2025, signaling a long-term strategy in his economic policy.
Simultaneously, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where the focus shifted to the significant aid the U.S. provides to Israel. Despite the emphasis on billions in aid, Trump refused to commit to removing tariffs on Israel, indicating a complex stance on international trade relations.
The meeting also touched on the sensitive issue of displacing Palestinians, with Israel continuing its military actions in Gaza. Trump and Netanyahu's discussions on this matter highlight the ongoing tensions and the broader geopolitical implications of U.S. foreign policy in the region.
