Eli Sharabi has been invited to meet Donald Trump on Tuesday in Washington .

The freed Israeli hostage has told Israeli media of the severe hunger and violence he endured in captivity.

Sharabi and two other hostages, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami , were released on 8 February after nearly 500 days in captivity, which Trump echoed.

Commerce secretary says US tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go into effect on Tuesday .
