Tariffs, Trump’s Gaza Plan, and the Fate of USAID

Big announcement on the show this week: we’ve bid adieu to Saman, and we’ll miss him terribly. Guest host Travis Irvine joins us as we break down Trump’s latest tariff moves, his controversial proposal to “redevelop” Gaza, and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy. Plus, we take a deep dive into the soft power of USAID—how America’s top aid agency shapes global politics, where billions of dollars have gone, and whether it’s truly fulfilling its mission. What happens now that Trump wants to shut it down, and how will this reshape America’s global image? Follow The Show:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:  https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=en Follow our Guest:https://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Articles referenced:https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-imports-matched-tax-rate-3f12fcab7f7065bcd846f00926935ba5https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5287012/trump-netanyahu-ceasefire-gazahttps://apnews.com/article/israel-netanyahu-troops-beefed-up-ceasefire-39533292445c3fe25d0d2d460439305dhttps://www.npr.org/2025/02/11/g-s1-48181/trump-jordan-king-abdullah-white-house-gaza Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
