Donald Trump's news conference with Benjamin Netanyahu was noncommittal and contradictory, with no mention of reducing the 17% tariff on Israel. The Israeli prime minister had previously offered to eliminate all tariffs and trade barriers on American trade into Israel. Trump's vague response left world leaders confused about the possibility of negotiations and the extent to which tariffs could be removed or reduced. Trump also discussed non-tariff barriers and the need for other countries to negotiate with the US. The UK is facing pressure to remove some barriers to appease Trump, but this could risk upsetting the EU and sparking domestic debate.
