Postwar plans being drawn up by Donald Trump’s administration will reportedly see the US offer Palestinians digital tokens in exchange for “voluntarily” leaving their land in Gaza. As reported by The Washington Post, the so-called “GREAT Trust Proposal,” would see vacant land redeveloped into a number of mega-projects, including six to eight “AI-powered, smart cities,” an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone,” and “Trump Riviera,” inspired by Dubai’s man-made Palm Islands.  Those who agree to trade their land for tokens will be allowed to return to Gaza 10 years later , once the redevelopment is finished, and exchange them for “ownership of rebuilt residences.”  Screenshot taken from the GREAT Trust PDF outlining its plans with messy AI visuals.

Lutnick touched upon various pain points between the two nations and suggested that India should scale back its involvement in BRICS and maintain cordial business relations with the US.
