Trade TIFF, Battle of Bureaucracy, Musuk’s Director: The third week of Trump begins
The third week of President Donald Trump’s second term began with questions about the battle of international trade, uncertainty about the future of the main government agencies, and the role of the Iron Mask in the administration.
Let’s jump in immediately.
Postponed tariffs: A few days after 25 % of tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have been announced, Trump will delay them for a month after the announcement of Canada and Mexico leaders to increase security at the border. Shannon Petias reports that he agreed.
This decision, at least, avoids the potential trade war with two of the two trading partners, the closest to the United States, who can increase the price of US consumers and stop the national economy. I will do it.
As part of the transaction, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spends $ 1.3 billion in planning to reinforce the border with his new helicopter, technology, and personnel, and spends additional resources to stop Fentanil. Was stated. (Canada announced the $ 1.3 billion border and immigration investment at the end of last year.)
Earlier that day, Mexico’s President Claudia Shainbaum said that her country would reinforce the border of 10,000 borders to deal with drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, especially Fentanil. He said he would strengthen immediately.
10 % of Trump’s 10 % tariffs on all Chinese imports will be enforced on Tuesday.
USAID UNDER DIER: All work is to operate US international development institutions in Pete Marocco, the highest staff of the State Department, and to dismantle Vaun Hillyards of Trump and Iron Musk. I have given the authority to review. , Avigale Williams, Rebecca Shabad, Ryan Nobles.
Rubio warned that a specific project or program could be stopped or excluded, marking the latest attack on the Trump administration’s federal bureaucracy. Washington -based USAID employees were ordered not to come to the office on Monday and were ordered to work at home.
Democratic members and legal experts argued that dismantling USAID violates the law adopted by Congress established. Senator Brian Shales responded to Holding the Trump Ministry of State’s candidate.
However, Republican members have not expressed much anxiety about Trump’s unilateral movements. Mike Johnson, chairman of the House, stated that Trump’s efforts to reduce federal government expenditures and do other movements without the approval of Congress were “appropriate.”
The role of Musk: The mask has led the efforts to reduce federal government through “government efficiency”, but his comments on the possibility of suspending USAID are accurate in the government. A new round question was caused about what it was.
The White House officials tried to provide some clarity. Catherine Doyle reports that MUSK is a “special government staff.”
It is a specification that means that the mask is not working as a volunteer or as a full -time employee. Special government employees are usually required to comply with conflicts of interest and ethics policies that are not more troublesome than federal employees. As a temporary standpoint, we will bypass a part of the duty required for full -time roles.
Overview: As Jonathan Allen and Alan Smith wrote, Trump is in a war against his own government, creating a deep fear of federal workers, and the recipients of the federal aid. When testing the limits of the ability to change the range, the government’s functions and properties without parliament.
Trump has signed the presidential order at a historic speed
Joe Murphy
If you feel faster than usual, you do not imagine things if President Trump signs the presidential decree.
In fact, Trump issued more presidential orders in the first ten days of his term, in his first 10 days of his term, according to the NBC news analysis on data in the federal registration book.
If you look at the recent president, you can see the pattern. Most of the first 100 days of the signed, most significant administrative orders have been signed for the first time until Trump is swearing for the first time. He signed 33 administrative orders at the start of his employment period in 2017. President Joe Biden signed 42 in 2021.
Throughout the first week and a half of his second phase, Trump was already up to 45 years old, and he was on the way more.
