Did he also suggest that he could help with the development of Gaza for other people?

New golf course. Some of the hazards are a bit tricky, more rubble than sand! But hey, if there's money to be made...!

He won his argument with Columbia. And all done rapidly. That's the way to do it. Go Trump!

Just reading the last dozen posts, this seems to have been a successful negotiation for America and Colombia.

And more importantly for America, the news/publicity of people being returned to their country is a warning shot for others.

Love him or hate him, it looks like DT has done something (or is claiming to have done something) the American public is asking for.

Its a lot about optics. Lets see how many Trump manages to expel from the US, he'll struggle to get to a fraction of his 10m target

Here Labour have expelled 14,000 from July to December. If the far right were in power its all we'd ever hear about

Do you know which British politician in June 2019 said “an endorsement from Donald Trump tells you everything you need to know about what’s wrong with Boris Johnson’s politics and why he isn’t fit to be PM”.

Ouch.

Still supporting Johnson to the bitter end I see :dunce:

In macro trade terms we are small beer to the US, it’s the top tier exporters that Trump will target with tariffs, and that means China and Germany, but by extension that means the EU.

Here is the sweet spot for the U.K. to exploit, we keep far enough from the EU that we can secure a discrete US/U.K. trade agreement, all the indicators are that one will be on offer.

I don’t doubt there will elements of that which will make some shit the bed however that’s life, overall a free trade agreement with the US would be positive, not least a US performing well economically.

At least your plan from a couple of weeks ago seems to be coming together nicely :laugh:

WTF is "a discrete US/U.K. trade agreement" ?

Does that mean do it on the QT, ie no one will notice the importation of hormone beef or handing over of the NHS to US Corporations?

Seems only 21% of the population think US trade should be a priority.

Every constituency in Britain favours trade with EU over US, new poll suggests

The poll saw just 21 per cent of people say the US should be the UK’s priority over the EU

The lines have been blurred of late by people who can gain political and financial power from it. See Trump, Farage, Badenoch, Johnson etc. They have also been blurred by people who won't gain anything but are stupid enough to believe and repeat them without understanding that they are lies. "But they're just like me and they're doing it for my benefit"

Which camp are you in dwayne

I’m not in any camp….

Did he though?

Are they still being deported handcuffed and in US military planes? Which is what the 'argument' was seemingly about.

Could you imagine it here. 2 tier tells Pakistan to take their child rapists back or he's withholding aid, cancelling visas and diplomatic travel.

Think the days of shipping British convicts to foreign lands passed about a century and a half ago.

I think that'd be a discreet one.

Indeed! https://www.scribbr.co.uk/frequentl...rete means 'separate' or ',', or 'discerning'.

Well, yes and no. What they they objected to was the use of US military planes not to the deportations - and the deportees will now be coming on Columbian planes so far as I can tell. So, is actually Trump who has folded? But of course, he'll not sell it that way!

Has he also been arguing with the cold weather clothing brand? If he wants to take Greenland, he’d be foolish to fall out with them.

People have been groomed by right wing media who amplify grifters

Braverman’s claim about ethnicity of grooming gangs was false, regulator rules

Trump takes the performance of the major US stock indicies very seriously as a measure of his success, so he is going to be royally pissed off that a Chinese open-source AI model (DeepSeek) has wiped $1T off the value of US tech stocks overnight, all because it can run off of less advanced chips.

I'm sure he'll respond rationally.
