Trump gives Hamas ‘last warning’ about Gaza
Additionally, Trump expressed hope that a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza will be reached “very soon.” Less than 20 hostages are left, he claimed, and their return is the priority before more are killed.
“I think we’re going to have a deal in Gaza very soon,” Trump stated.
Trump had warned Hamas earlier on social media to accept his terms for an agreement without detailing them publicly, in what he called his “last warning.” According to Trump, Israel has already approved the plan.
Trump said, “We’re working on a solution that may be very good,” to reporters. “You’ll be informed about it shortly. We’re trying to get it ended, get the hostages back.”

He had praised foreign investment in the US and claimed that it would rise as a result of the taxes he placed on goods from other nations. However, he stated that hiring American workers is the aim for international investment.
“What we ask in return is that you hire and train American workers,” Trump said, echoing a social media message he posted earlier.
