President Trump released new details about his plan to take over the Gaza Strip from Israel Thursday morning, saying the project would be the “one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind.”

“The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting. The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!” posted Trump on Truth Social.

Trump shocked the world when he announced his intentions alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week.

As the Trump administration declassifies the remaining documents from JFK, RFK and MLK, will we actually find a smoking gun? Will this be a full declassification as Trump promised or will there be pushback on sensitive materials. As a former covert operations officer for the CIA, Mike Baker unpacks these cases from an operational perspective. Which case has the most to offer the public and will we find the answers we’re looking for?

Donald Trump shocked the world Tuesday when he announced his administration’s intention to “take over” the Gaza Strip from Israel; upending 80 years of US foreign policy in the Middle East.

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said. “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.”

The Trump administration paused a 25% tariff on Mexican goods Monday after the nation’s leader agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the US-Mexico border.

From Fox News:

Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.

Sheinbaum made the announcement on social media Monday morning, roughly 12 hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug trafficking into the U.S., and that the U.S. will step up efforts to block the flow of firearms into Mexico.

Sheinbaum also said officials with the U.S. and Mexico were beginning talks on wider trade and security issues.
