There is no way for Mexico or Canada to avoid tariffs. The only policy reason for the tariffs is to pay for trump’s tax cuts to the rich. He doesn’t care if Americans ultimately have to pay for them.

President Trump said he told King Abdullah II of Jordan that he would like Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinians to “clean out” the Gaza Strip. His suggestion raised new questions about U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and two of its key allies in the Middle East.
