10:10 pm
the new british ambassador says he's not worried about tariffs being targeted at the uk. i don't believe that his tariffs are actually directly targeted but in the meantime, i don't think we should be overreacting. in an interview with fox news, president trump made clear his plan for gaza will not guarantee the palestinians can return there. it will be a beautiful piece of land. before you could ever... it's not habitable. the prime minister has been clear
