His appetite for territorial expansion has not waned. Before he even returned to the White House, Donald Trump set his sights on the Panama Canal and then resource-rich Greenland. Now, the president who once railed against foreign entanglements wants to acquire some of the most disputed geography in the world.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, proposing a major shift in Middle East policy, called for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate roughly two million Palestinians to neighboring Arab countries. His goal, he said, is to turn the war-ravaged enclave into the "Riviera of the Middle East."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday there was nothing wrong in Donald Trump's idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza after the U.S. president's proposal drew international criticism.
