Trump says US to 'takeover' and 'own' Gaza
Well, the last thing that countries in the region want is more instability. And I can imagine they are now reeling from this latest proposal from President Trump. It was so startling that Saudi Arabia felt that it had to release a press statement in the middle of the night saying,

Trump says US to 'takeover' and 'own' Gaza
when it heard President Trump saying to questions, well, that Saudi Arabia wouldn't insist on a Palestinian state for a normalization deal. Its statement absolutely underlined, and I heard it myself when I was in Riyadh in January, that unless there is a pathway to a Palestinian state,

They will not engage with the Israelis and the Americans on that normalization deal that the Abraham Accords, as it was called in President Trump's first term, that is also on President Trump's mind. The King Abdullah of Jordan will be the next leader from the region to see President Trump face to face.

Trump says US to 'takeover' and 'own' Gaza
No doubt he will make clear his views and they will be the same views, Jonath, that he made clear. I remember so clearly that in President Trump's first term, that even before he was invited, King Abdullah of Jordan flew to Washington to see President Trump. That is how crucial it is for Jordan that there not be the kind of measures that President Trump is talking about now.

moving what would be forcibly displacing. President Trump says, oh, they wouldn't be forced, but there is a sense in which there's going to be a temporary shift of Palestinians. That would be destabilizing for Jordan, destabilizing for Egypt. We haven't heard a statement yet in response to President Trump's latest intervention, but at the weekend.

A number of Arab leaders, all of whom are expected to play a role in this fragile Gaza ceasefire, is that they reject any moves to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza.
Global News Podcast
Trump says US to 'takeover' and 'own' Gaza
This is the big question now. What we have seen is how President Trump prides himself on his transactional approach to dealmaking. He started his second term talking about being a peacemaker. But what we have seen in the first term, it's very much in the sort of a property developer that he is real estate man. You give me this and I'll give you that.

Trump says US to 'takeover' and 'own' Gaza
Jordan and Egypt are so dependent on the United States for aid, they don't really have much to give in return. But the wealthy Gulf states do, and that's where the bargaining may be.

Canadian PM Mark Carney says he wants to reduce security reliance on the US
He certainly went into great detail about, without he said there were certain things that were, in his words, very sensitive. But he wanted to convey a very strong impression that, first of all, these alliances were very, very strong and getting stronger, that they had very detailed discussions on strengthening security, including when it came to Ukraine.

But, Jonathan, he was asked repeatedly by almost all the Canadian journalists about – there's a concern in Canada that Canada's allies are not really standing up for it when President Trump keeps saying things like, I'm going to make Canada the 51st state, Canada will be better off in that way.

Canadian PM Mark Carney says he wants to reduce security reliance on the US
And when Mark Carney was asked about that, he basically said, well, he was very diplomatic about it, let me say, saying we don't need anyone to stand up for us. What he did get from Sir Keir Starmer was the word sovereignty. And of course, King Charles also emphasized the sovereignty. And he felt that that was good enough combined with what he got behind closed doors.

Canadian PM Mark Carney says he wants to reduce security reliance on the US
It has completely transformed the Canadian political landscape. Before President Trump returned to the White House, the Liberal Party that now headed by Mark Carney was way behind in the polls. They were not going to lose the next general election. They were going to lose badly. First, there was what they call a Trudeau bump.
Global News Podcast
Canadian PM Mark Carney says he wants to reduce security reliance on the US
When he said, I'm stepping down, the Liberal Party inched up in the polls. Then when President Trump started threatening Canada, Canadians made that the top priority. And Mark Carney wants to present the image. He's a guy who knows all about trade and tariffs. He criticizes his main opposition figure as being too much like Trump. So now the two main parties are neck and neck.

How can they in 2025, how can he possibly be saying this? And now there's like huge defiance. saying that it's just, to use Mark Carney's terms, this is never, ever going to happen, not in any way, shape or form.

The latest poll by the Angus Reid Institute said that 91% of Canadians said they don't want to be the 51st state, which of course raises the question, who are the 9%? There are a few flying the Canadian flag. But the concern is, and this is partly behind Mark Carney's visit, is that The Canadian economy, 80% of Canada's exports go to the United States.

Canada is 10% of the size of the United States. The former Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said that what President Trump was trying to do was collapse the Canadian economy to force Canada to join. And Mark Carney made it clear tonight there's a limit to which Canada will not be able to match dollar for dollar, as he says, the American tariffs. Liz Doucette.

The church of the Virgin Lady of the Girdle, in the heart of the old city of Homs, said to be one of the oldest churches in the world. And these streets saw some of the worst of the fighting in Syria's war. We came to this church nearly a decade ago when President Assad's forces pushed the rebels out of the old city of Homs.

China vows to fight US 'blackmail' over tariffs
President Trump has often made it clear that much to the unhappiness of many of his key aides and the Israeli prime minister, that he would prefer to talk with Iran to get a deal with Iran rather than going to war, which he said in his remarks yesterday would be very dangerous territory.

But his comments yesterday came out of the blue, saying we're already holding direct talks, which Iran denies, and then saying, in his words, a very big meeting will be held on Saturday. It is a very big meeting that Iran and the United States will hold their first face-to-face talks since President Trump in his first term pulled out of the landmark Iran nuclear deal.

Luxury German cars pulling away from the entrance of the elegant Bayerischer Hof Hotel here in Munich as this conference comes to a close. It's snowing and there's a chill in the air.

In the minds of European leaders and the Ukrainians attending this conference, it's now in tatters.

So I've been asking delegates here, what is the mood in Munich?

When the U.S. Vice President took to the main stage here in Munich, it was expected he would perhaps give more details about the war in Ukraine and how to resolve it.

Many of them were very high-level officials from European countries and basically said... the main threat to Europe is not from Russia, is not from China, it's from within.

The first foreign visit of a Canadian Prime Minister is traditionally to the country's biggest trading partner and closest ally, the United States. That's out of the question now.

Both of them issued very strongly worded statements saying that not only is Israel's halting of humanitarian aid into Gaza a violation of the ceasefire, which came into force on January 19th, it is also a violation of international humanitarian law. They've accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war and in the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

And the second phase is the phase which Israel has always had difficulty with because it demands that they withdraw all of their forces from the Gaza Strip and move towards an end of the war in exchange for all of the remaining hostages. But Israel now seems to be rewriting the deal. And Prime Minister Netanyahu says he has the complete backing of the United States.

They say that President Trump's Gaza envoy, Steve Witkoff, has come up with a new proposal that in order to move to extend the ceasefire for another 50 days, which would cover the holy month of Ramadan, as well as the Jewish festival of Passover, that Hamas has to release more hostages. In fact, half of the hostages.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said last night there were 59 hostages remaining in Gaza and up to 24, is the phrase he used, are believed to be alive. Now, that wasn't called for in the deal.
