It is incredible, almost seven months in, how the entire administration still talks about tariffs in this fundamentally illiterate way. If South Korea has 0% percent tariffs on U.S. imports, that means South Korean importers pay 0%. And U.S. importers are paying 15%.

US-Israel pulling in an altogether different direction than the rest of the "international community".
๐จ๐จ Israeli official following Netanyahu-@SteveWitkoff meeting: An understanding is forming between Israel and the United States that, given Hamas's intransigence, there is a need to shift from a framework for releasing some of the hostages to a framework for releasing all.

Never mind that much of the below is not actually true. The new wrinkle in this term is that a host of warring governments will agree to symbolic, ephemeral truces in order to win various concessions/favors from the US, knowing that all that matters is flattering Trump's ego.
.@PressSec: "@POTUS has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia . It is well past time that @POTUS was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."

Huge, under-discussed storyline in Washington is the collapse in relations between the two greatest powers in the Western hemisphere. There's no line of communication between Trump and Lula, and the White House is sorely mistaken if they think their pressure will free Bolsonaro.
Today, @USTreasury is sanctioning Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who has used his position to authorize arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppress freedom of expression. Alexandre de Moraes is responsible for an oppressive campaign of censorship,.

Israeli officials and politicians have rejected the accusation, insisting upon Israelโs right to self-defense in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
