Full Episode
During a day of massive market volatility, Donald Trump held a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his side. With Netanyahu sitting there, Donald Trump again talked about controlling and owning the Gaza Strip and moving Palestinians out to different places, he says. Donald Trump also says that he's not looking at pausing tariffs.
Let me show you what went down in the Oval Office. Here, Donald Trump is asked about being open to pause the tariffs. Trump says he's not looking into that. Play this clip.
Would you be open to a pause in tariffs to allow for negotiations?
Well, we're not looking at that. We have many, many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with us and they're going to be fair deals. And in certain cases, they're going to be paying substantial tariffs.
They'll be fair deals. In this next clip here, Donald Trump talks about moving the Palestinians to different countries and controlling and taking over Gaza himself. Play this clip. Mr. Reverend, from the Times of Israel, the IDF is fighting to get into Gaza Strip.
I myself might be called up in a month. Do you think that's the way to pressure Hamas to get to a deal? And do you think blocking humanitarian aid is also an effective pressure? Well, you know how I feel about the Gaza Strip. I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it's something that we would be involved in.
But, you know, having a peace force like the United States there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing. because right now all it is is for years and years all i hear about is killing and hamas and problems and if you take the people the palestinians and move them around to different countries and you have plenty of countries that will do that and you really have a freedom
A freedom zone. You call it the freedom zone. Trump is asked about mixed messages coming out of the White House about tariffs and about other economic policy. Then Donald Trump randomly says, we need open borders. Yes, we need open borders, says Donald Trump. Play this clip.
Two questions. Do you expect any of these deals to be made before April 9th? And secondly, there have been some mixed messages from your administration. You're talking about negotiations and yet others in your administration are saying that these tariffs are actually permanent. What is the action?
