In a tasteless PR move, Israel is trying to portray in online ads its recent practice of distributing aide to starving Palestinians (before shooting at them) as quasi the work of a humanitarian NGO.

Trump is having second thoughts about tariffs but has already caused serious, if not irreparable harm to his country, its prestige, economy & credibility as a trading partner and ally.
That said and given his continuing trade vendetta with China, he may find himself alone if things get out of hand.
