U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the permanent resettlement of Palestinians from war-shattered Gaza to neighboring countries, calling the enclave a "demolition site" on Tuesday as he held pivotal talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The two leaders are expected to focus on the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, rebuilding and relocating Palestinians in Gaza and normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

China countered President Donald Trump’sacross-the-board tariffs on Chinese products with tariffs on select U.S. imports. It will also launch an antitrust investigation into Google and other trade measures. The U.S., Canada and Mexico have all agreed to pause planned tariffs for at least a month as negotiations over border security continue.
