WASHINGTON – Donald Trump president was once Donald Trump Real Estate Mogol, and two roles are beginning to fade in his new term.
First he targeted Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal. Now he is seeing Gaza as the next US achievement.

These remarks, focusing on Gaza’s “its” plan, also surprised the Republicans of the Congress.
“I thought we voted for the United States first,” San Rand Paul, RK, said on Wednesday.
After talking about the foolishness of sending us troops in remote conflicts, Trump only felt ready to do that if the award was turning the bombing area into a luxurious destination –
But as Tuesday’s announcement could be announced, it was not surprising to have Trump’s biography. He came to age as a real estate developer, taking the Commodore Hotel in Manhattan and adding it to a more fashionable grand appearance. Its family and social circles include other real estate developers, and its special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Watkov, was a billionaire real estate executive.
To date, Trump focuses on the hereditary dollar of the land, whether it is a parcel or a country.
For example, a condition he holds on US aid to Ukraine is to receive the money through Ukraine’s rare Earth Minerals.
“He is a real estate boy,” said Jack O’Donal, a former president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. “So, there is any time there [waterfront property] He is going to say that this is a great place to develop.
Similarly, Trump saw North Korea in the first term.
He told reporters, “Think about it from an immovable point of view.” As he explained How can North Korea become a beach paradise if only its authoritarian leader opens its isolated country in the West?
Kim Jong Un’s part of his own pitch was that the country was a hidden ornament for recovery in an attempt to get rid of North Korea from nuclear weapons.
In 2018, the White House National Security Council presented a smart video stating what could happen through North Korea with the United States. Montely contained images of Miami’s high height that watch the sea.
Trump showed a video to Kim on an iPad this year at a Singapore summit, though he did not cut. North Korea retains its nuclear weapons.
“I didn’t expect [Kim] To take it,, but we wanted to show it as clear as we can, there is an alternative, “said John Bolton, a former Trump national security adviser, in an interview.
At the end of the summit, Trump told reporters that he tried to sell Kim as a popular destination on North Korea’s vision.
Trump said, “They have beaches.” You saw that whenever they were bursting their artillery in the sea, okay? I said: ‘Boy, look at this ideology. Wouldn’t Kondo ‘and I explained,’ You know, instead of doing so, you can get the best hotels in the world there. ‘
Bolton said he never discusses Trump’s Gaza restoration plans, though other assistants have studied the idea.
In his first term, Trump’s son -in -law and senior adviser, Gerard Kushner, helped write a report for one Middle Eastern Comprehensive Plan It has discovered ways to make Gaza and the West Bank “rich tourism opportunities” that will eliminate the standard of living.
The report, released in 2020, said that “the Mediterranean can develop in a modern metropolitan city over 40 km beach in the beach in Gaza, which includes Beirut, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Rio Aviv has been drawn from the examples like De Janeiro, Singapore and the Telephone.
Kushner talked about Gaza’s ability last year In a program At Harvard University. He said that Gaza’s “Water Front Property,” he said, “If people focus on the construction of livelihood, it can be very valuable.”
Trump echoed the topic while interviewing the Talk Show host Hue Hoot in October a month before the presidential election.
“You know, as a developer, [Gaza] The most beautiful place can be – weather, water, all things, climate, “he said.” It can be very beautiful. It may be the best thing in the Middle East, but it can be one of the best places in the world.
One of the most popular questions is whether Trump’s announcements are sincere or are merely a negotiation trick? Their message that the United States has taken Gaza forward and took power can be such a “extreme” position that other countries in the Middle East – Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia also take notice and alternative solutions. Forcing. Professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School, Tarak Masood.
Masood said, “Maybe he is saying, ‘If you are not going to do this, I am going to take ownership of it, and you will not like what happens.”
Still, he added, “When you are talking about an area that is still subject to a beautifully horrific bombing campaign and has been for the past 17 years or more religious mafia – Hamas control. It is not a great look for the President of the United States. “
