Today we highlight two sides of Donald Trump. The first is Mr Trump as wall builder. Although America’s stockmarkets are soaring, his trade protectionism and crackdown on immigration are already causing economic pain. The real damage,

argues, will be in the longer term.
The second is Mr Trump as dealmaker. Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace plan that he devised. There is still much to do to achieve the “lasting PEACE” that Mr Trump promises, as
our briefing
explains. But the agreement is a start. The Economist’s top editors will have more to say about prospects for the Middle East in the
inaugural episode
of The Insider, our weekly show for subscribers, which airs today from 6pm London time, 1pm New York time. |
