Trump says to β€˜clean out’ Gaza, urges Arab countries to take more refugees President Donald Trump said he wanted Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinians from Gaza so they could "maybe live in peace" there.

Trump said he wants to β€œclean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.

There is a name for this β€” ethnic cleansing β€” and it’s a war crime.

This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. β€œThe US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said.

But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap.
