  • This is the Guardian.

  • Today.

  • From trade wars to turning Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle east,

  • how should the world respond to Donald Trump's reckless approach to foreign policy?

  • That's a lot of press.

  • Congratulations.

  • You bring them out.

  • You really bring them out.

  • Whichever world leader Donald Trump chose to welcome first on his return

  • to the White House was always going to send a signal about his second presidency.

  • Today, I'm delighted to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu back to the White House.

  • That it was Benjamin Netanyahu was a clear sign of where Trump's sympathies lie in the Middle East.

  • It's a wonderful feeling and a wonderful event.

  • We had fantastic talks.

  • That Trump supports Israel is no surprise,

  • but what he announced during a press conference after the meeting on Tuesday quite casually shocked the world.

  • Not only did he say that millions of Palestinians would have to leave Gaza,

  • but that the US would take over the Strip and that they would own it.

  • And we will do a job with it, too.

  • We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
