INTL SECURITY EXPERTS DIVIDED ON TRUMP'S OUT-OF-THE-BOX GAZA PLAN
US President Donald Trump suggested during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip and own it. Trump stated that the US will "level the site" and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area, aiming to turn Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
The proposal has sparked strong reactions from Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas, and has been criticized by many as unrealistic and potentially destabilizing for the region.
"However other international security experts argue that Trump's plan, while it may at first appear unworkable, may in fact be one of the best 'America first' realistic plan to end Israel and Hamas' protraction of the decadesold middle east conflict.
"U.S. taking the Gaza strip from Israeli military and Hamas, experts argue, eliminates the security threat that Israel uses as an excuse to prolong the occupation, while at the same time giving Palestininas a chance to live peaceful and prosperous lives."

TRUMP IMPOSES HARSH RETALIATORY SANCTIONS ON COLOMBIA
After the country's socialist government refused to accept the repatriation of its nationals from the United States, Colombia has become the first country to face harsh sanctions from the new US President Donald Trump who campaigned on, and promised voters a hardline restrictionist immigration policy.
In a Truth Social post Sunday, Trump wrote,
"I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:
-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.
-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.
-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.
"These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!"
