Even one of the nearest allies in the US government is set with extra rates. Israel received allowances of 17 percent from President Donald Trump. On the occasion of his visit to Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the reduction in the trade barriers of his country for American products. In exchange, he hopes to remove the American rates.
He had already spoken with the American Handelsminister Howard Lutnick about the abolition of rates, Netanyahu said on the sidelines of a reception in the White House. According to Israeli information, around 99 percent of the goods introduced from the United States have been completely exempt from rates for decades. Netanyahu is the first foreign head of the government to receive conversations in the White House since the new rate was announced.
Trump via Gaza: “Important piece of real estate”
However, it was not only discussed about trade barriers, but of course also about the Gaza war. Trump again claims the Gaza Strip. “This is an incredibly important piece of real estate,” he said. According to Trump, it would be a “good thing” to have a “peacemple like the United States there that the Gaza Strip has and has”. At the beginning of February, Trump shocked the side of Netanyahus with a similar explanation.
At that time he said that the United States could take over the Gaza Strip, planning, rebuilding and transforming it by War Destroy area into a “Riviera of the Middle East”. The more than two million Palestinians should be resetted – Trump had put Egypt and Jordan in play, which rejected such a scenario.
Netanyahu for the “free decision” of the Palestinians
Netanyahu spoke in Washington about “a brave vision” of the US president. He argued for “giving people in Gaza the free decision they want to go”. However, critics in Israel also doubt whether the decision would be voluntary in view of the great destruction in the Gaza Strip.
