or is he just saying all this to keep his friend i asked the bbc�*s north america editor sarah smith i think on that, we can definitely say they have affairs by picking fights with people? nation in the world. and america alone better off? i think most of us would have assumed he's said a few things. european nations, need to pay far more towards military aid that have been made both at home and abroad, and just the pace of change that's being brought into america. and anyone who's really surprised by some of the decisions he's made maybe was either not listening or not taking him seriously, as he told us again and again at all of these rallies for the last year or so that this was exactly what he was planning. is this how he intends to go on — to dominate international affairs by picking fights with people? yep, this sets the tone for how it's going to happen. a big ask from donald trump that has nothing to do with the best interests of global security or any other nation in the world. what does he want that he thinks will make america and america alone better off? and then, a bully

our north america editor sarah smith reports from washington. in jerusalem joe inwood. statement he has put out says the israeli defense forces gaza, and that seems to be the way he's framing this — not in the way that much of the rest of the world has done it, as an attempt to force gazans to leave their homes he says in a statement that all palestinians, all people should have the freedom of exit and immigration, as is customary elsewhere in the world. another rather interesting part of this statement — false accusations and plots against israel, are legally to enter their territory. described the plan as bold and something worth considering. but reaction, you will be aware, around the rest of the world, very different. antonio guterres, warning the united states against from marco rubio and also the president's spokeswoman. i think more than wondering whether it will happen — i think they are saying... or said it would be, were it implemented. here in the middle east. line for many, many countries, including some of america's allies, as well. we have heard statements

president trump's announcement on tuesday is sarah smith. before the jawdropping announcement on gaza. even the prime minister of israel didn't know the scale of what was awaiting him inside. for dismantling all of the dangers and other weapons of the site. trump suggested egypt, jordan and other countries that have already said no. by palestinian leaders who said there could never be peace is an integral part of that. hamas, whose 2023 attacks on israel provoked the conflict thank you very much. by arab countries in the middle east. donald trump thinks he can strong—arm anyone, displaced palestinians. and i say they will. many democrats are appalled. it is horrific, it is the definition of ethnic cleansing. it is part of the culmination of what i think is genocide of the palestinian people. seem to say controller gaza would be temporary before people would return after reconstruction. removal and reconstruction, the rebuilding of homes, move back in. would allow that to happen or let him redraw the map of the world. seahgzzyts—w see... almost the entire population of gaza has been di

our north america editor sarah smith was in the press room and sent us this report. conference with donaldnd the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. a job with it, too. he said, "we will own it, be responsible for getting rid of all the bombs and other weaponry that there is there, razing all of the destroyed buildings to the ground, the 1.8 million palestinian people who live in the gaza so it's a lot to take in because it's huge news. no wonder, standing beside him, benjamin netanyahu said that saudi arabia has reaffirmed its stance that it will not is "firm and unwavering". i think you could probably hear some of the jaws dropping over there in london. i mean, this really doesjust represent a fundamental — a drastic shift in us policy. you know, saying... to not only move nearly two million palestinians potentially permanently out of that area, but then this is just so far away from what we've heard in the region. you walked us through some of those critical reactions — we've also heard from hamas leadership, saying that plans to relocate gazans would be a recipe for chaos and t

here's our north america editor, sarah smith with more.troduce tough tariffs on day one. i always say, tariffs is the most beautiful word who left us. migrants crossing their borders and into america, and to stem around. will hurt mexican exporters, but it also risks increasing prices for american consumers. canada's biggest export to america is oil. on china for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country. hundreds of billions of dollars worth of imports are trucked from mexico and canada into america, and the other way around. they are each other�*s biggest trading partners by far. for instance, 90% of the avocados sold in america come from mexico. charging a 25% tax on each fruit that crosses the border will hurt mexican exporters, but it also risks increasing prices for american consumers. canada's biggest export to america is oil. even 10% import tariffs risk raising costs for americans, and, of course, canada will also feel the pain if america buys less of their oil. the prime minister says

sarah smith reporting there. and is now a frontrunner to replacejustin trudeau as canada's prime minister. i think president trump probably thinks that we in as well against mexico, china, others and threatening the world — are going to rebound negatively on the united states. they're going to raise interest rates. around the world. i mean, let's be absolutely clear. trading partner, that it negotiated in good faith. we will take steps. i it is reasonable that in the term that we will match medium term that we will match dollar for dollar the dollar for dollar for the us tariffs stop we will target our tariffs stop we will target our tariffs against those goods and services that will affect gervices’thatwill mast affect united ggivices’thatwfll mast affect united states and least canada but to clear, affect canada but in be clear. will be, affect canada bd't. ta be clear. will be, this will have an this will be, this will have an impact on the :-—=: that impact j that impact will be and that impact will be felt more quickly into a greater :-: to the us 77 to the us but to the us butcanadia

ambassador to sarah smith. start a global tariff war. but in the meantime, i don't think we should be overreacting. in an interview with fox news, president trump made clear his plan it will be a beautiful piece of land. before you could ever... it's not habitable. that's completely at odds with what britain wants to see happen. a right to return for any palestinians not in gaza. can you bridge that gap? i don't think that we have reached the end of the road on what happens but its allies pursue in cooperation with president trump and his administration. we want to bring peace and security and prosperity to the middle east, seems to be the british plan. to the oval office later this month. disagreements on tariffs, gaza, us overseas aid or anything else that may come up. we are getting some reaction from people on those economic cooperation". joining me live is marty warren, united steelworkers national to have you here. how do you view terror specifically? to have you here. how do you view terrorspecifically? how view these terror speci
