Qatar's Jet Offer
价值$4亿的姿态
Qatar offered a $400M 747 jumbo jet to the US Defense Department as a "very nice gesture" of good faith, for use while new Air Force One (delayed by Boeing) is built. Trump stated it's not a personal gift and would go to his library post-presidency (later clarified he won't use it, it goes to library).
Hostage Release & Ceasefire Hopes
仍有 20 名美国人质
Following Eden Alexander's release (a step of good faith), hopes for more releases. Previously stated 59 American hostages held by Hamas, with 24 then living (now 20, excluding Alexander and 3 others released). Families seek return of both living hostages and remains of the deceased.
Manufacturing Reshoring & Tariffs (Cars, Steel)
目标: 美国第一车产

Lowering Drug Prices
目标降幅: 60-80%
Executive actions aim to significantly cut drug prices, potentially by 60-80%. This will lower Medicaid and Medicare costs. Stated that other countries' price controls led to higher US prices ("charge America"). New measures aim to "equalize" prices. Pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly are investing heavily in US manufacturing, which won't be tariffed. Believes Democrats will be forced to support these measures.
South African Refugees
优先处理原因: 人道危机
Creating an expedited path for Afrikaner refugees from South Africa because "they're being killed." Alleges "genocide" of white farmers and land confiscation, criticizing media for lack of coverage. US has "essentially extended citizenship."
