@KimGhattas Same with slapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Carmakers in the US were the first to protest as their manufacturing operations would suffer too.

EU dangles a carrot -the stick being hitting the US tech sector. It seems that Brussels has taken cues from Trump's (tentative) u-turn with regard to slapping tariffs on Canada and Mexico. via @ft

Jared Kushner's forthcoming 5-star resort in Gaza will be hugely popular methinks.
Trump: The Gaza has not worked. It has never worked. I think they should get a good fresh piece of land. I don’t know how they could want to stay. It’s a demolition site. If we could find the right piece of land or numerous pieces of land and build them some nice places. They could be Jordan. They could be in Egypt
