President Donald Trump’s orders to impose tariffs and close loopholes on metal imports not only delivered on a major campaign promise to American steel workers, they also set the stage for geopolitical dealmaking that could stretch as far and wide as Europe and the Gaza Strip.
Within hours of Trump affixing his signature on the tariffs orders that take effect globally next month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday floated the notion that American companies would play a major role in rebuilding his country post-war. It’s one of many potential big markets for U.S. steel and aluminum that could be negotiated by a Trump administration after years of Ukraine enjoying exemptions to prior U.S. tariffs.
Zelenskyy is set to meet later this week with Vice President JD Vance, and other Trump administration officials.
“Those who are helping us to save Ukraine will renovate it, with their businesses together with Ukrainian businesses. All these things we are ready to speak about in detail,” the Ukrainian leader said.
Similarly, Trump kept up pressure on Middle East leaders to come up with their own plan for displaced Palestinians by continuing to suggest the United States was willing to take over and rebuild the Gaza Strip into a luxury resort destination after decades of violence. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
