Netanyahu Set to Meet With Trump. Here's What They'll Discuss: Tariffs, Iran, Hamas and Gaza

For the second time in just two months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back in Washington D.C. and at the White House meeting with President Donald Trump.

On the agenda for discussion are Trump's new tariffs, Iran's nuclear program, Hamas' ongoing war against Israel from Gaza, hostage release negotiations, Islamic terrorism, the tech industry and much more.

"I am heading to the U.S. at the invitation of President Trump to discuss the hostages, the completion of the victory in Gaza, and the tariffs also applied to Israel. I hope I can help in this matter," Netanyahu said upon departure.

When Netanyahu visited the White House in February, Trump announced plans for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip.

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area," Trump said.

Since the announcement, parts of his plan have been endorsed by Arab countries in the region.

Netanyahu and Trump will hold a joint press conference from the White House at 2:30 eastern.

Even our best ally and friend Israel charges tariffs on American products. Without our support, Israel would be overtaken by hordes of Muslims.

there were some tariffs to protect the very small (and therefore fragile) local production base. However, Jerusalem has terminated all tariffs on imports from USA (in response to President Trump’s new trade program).
FYI.
(ps: two much bigger ones are Communist China and the European countries (both China and Germany, etc. have seriously major impacts on America when it comes to trade)

Let’s see how the negotiations with China and EU/Germany go?

My only point is, every country in the world charges tariffs to USA products. It is about time we Charge reciprocal tariffs to every country.

Keep in mind, the tariff charged to USA products is only one item. Add to that restrictions on American investments in those countries. China owns hundreds of thousands farm land in USA, but Americans can not buy one square foot in China. Add to that government subsidies many countries give to their local manufacturers. That bankrupts American manufacturers. Case in point is Japan subsidizing Japanese motorcycles which caused Harley Davidson on brink of bankruptcy. Reagan imposed tariffs on Japanese motorcycles and saved jobs at Harley Davidson.

Wake up. War with Iran is another war for Israel, not for us. But it will be our money, equipment and soldiers blood that is used.

I believe we are probably 80 or 90 percent in agreement.
(I can see that a country with a sensitive local industry of some sort might be allowed some kind of protection for it. Certainly USA has done this in our history. It is a natural concern, especially if the nation wants to preserve or develop a local industry with some kind of strategic or economic impacts. And, countries have many tools to impact trade practices in addition to traditional tariffs. I believe there will always be some sort of national controls or influences applied to international trade, at least in selected good or materials. Having said this, I am looking forward to our seeing some significant benefits from President Trump’s efforts at changing the rules that we trade under... some of which have been very disadvantagous. We will see..smiles smiles smiles.

I am 100% capitalist mindset. My thinking is we should encourage the successful companies and let the poorly managed ones fail. It’s never a good idea to waste taxpayer money on failing outfits. Better to lower corporate taxes and that will allow the good outfits to expand and create more jobs.
