Trump and Bibi White House meeting

Context:

Israel removed all tariffs on America prior to Liberation Day and still got a 17% tariff
Local news is reporting that Netanyahu (Israeli prime minister) is expected to meet with Trump on Monday
Israel has a 18% VAT (Trump dislikes VATs, and has previously said that he'll tariff countries that charge them)

Resolves YES if the tariff rate for Israel is 0% on May 1st:

Product/category specific tariffs do not count, only a general tariff on Israel
The new rate must be implemented, not just announced

Just now a reporter asked Trump if he's planning to reduce the 17% tariff on Israel and Trump said "Hmmm.... maybe not". good enough for me to invest in NO

@Shemetz Maybe the key to having your negotiating partners think you're crazy is actually being crazy.

Israel's PM is saying "we will make efforts to fix the trade deficit between israel and the united states" (paraphrased), and I think he said something about "removing the tariffs"? nothing about timelines though

Meeting happening right now!
