Trump’s Gaza Plan, USAID Overhaul, and Tariffs

  • Summary

  • President Trump’s proposal for US control of Gaza and relocating its population sparked global backlash this week and was deemed unrealistic and illegal. Top administration officials are now walking back elements of the proposal, insisting US troops won’t be used to clear the territory and relocation would be temporary. Is this just another Trump negotiation tactic as some have suggested? Meanwhile, the administration, with Elon Musk’s support, is dismantling USAID, placing thousands on leave and possibly merging it into the State Department. How will this move impact US soft power and national security? Lastly, after pausing tariffs on Mexico and Canada, Trump claimed victory as both nations pledged to secure the border and crackdown on fentanyl trafficking and organized crime. The 10% China tariff, however, remains intact. How real or effective is Trump's follow through on one of his biggest campaign promises? David Luhnow, Peter Spiegel, and Nahal Toosi join Ivo Daalder this week on World Review to unpack these issues and more.
