President Donald Trump just so happened to unveil new tariffs against Mexico on Thursday shortly after White House senior advisor Jared Kushner left town for a trip to Israel and the secretive Bilderberg meeting in Switzerland. I can't say whether these two events are related but it sure is an interesting coincidence.
