President Trump just pulled off what might be the greatest trade flex in modern history—and he didn’t even have to ask. While the media hyperventilates over stock tickers and recycled globalist talking points, Trump is casually sitting in the Oval Office next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who just offered up three massive trade concessions like it was a garage sale.
Zero tariffs. Zero trade deficit. Zero trade barriers. All on the table, unprompted.

“I said to the president a very simple thing,” Netanyahu told the press. “We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do it very quickly. We think it’s the right thing to do, and we’re going to also eliminate trade barriers.”
Excuse me—now you think it’s the right thing to do?
Israel is a key ally, and I’ve got all the respect in the world for their security challenges and innovation. But let’s be real: the U.S. gives Israel over $3 billion a year, we back them diplomatically at every turn, and they’re supposed to be our closest ally in the Middle East. Yet, until this moment, they’ve been slapping tariffs on our goods, running a trade deficit, and throwing up barriers like a mini-EU.
Only now—after Trump returned to power and started shaking up the global trade order again—now they decide it’s the “right thing to do”? Yeah, no. They’re not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. They’re doing it because President Trump called their bluff and, like every other country used to freeloading off the U.S., they’re scrambling to cut a better deal before they end up on the business end of a Trump tariff.
And let’s be clear—this wasn’t a one-off. Trump said himself that dozens of countries are calling the White House, volunteering to slash tariffs, drop trade barriers, and fix imbalances we didn’t even ask about. Why? Because for the first time in decades, there’s a president in office who isn’t trying to appease global institutions—he’s trying to win for America.
Netanyahu’s sudden generosity isn’t charity. It’s respect. It’s what happens when the world knows you’re dealing with a leader who actually has a spine.
Trump didn’t just hit a home run with Israel—he’s hitting grand slams all over the globe.
