TRUMP’S Trade WAR Shocks: China And EU Face Major Impacts

03 April 2025 — President Donald TRUMP announced sweeping tariffs affecting nearly all U.S. trading partners. China and the EU are hit hardest. The White House imposed a 10% tariff on all imports, with China facing an additional 34% on top of an existing 20%, totaling a hefty 54%. This move is just shy of Trump’s campaign promise of a 60% tariff on Chinese goods.

China reacted strongly, promising countermeasures against what it calls “protectionism.” The Chinese Commerce Ministry argues that trade wars have no winners and urges the U.S. to resolve differences through fair talks. Meanwhile, European nations face a blanket 20% tariff along with existing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and car exports.

Canada’s Prime Minister Carney has vowed to “fight” these tariffs as other world leaders assess their economic impact. The European Union has also promised retaliation against Trump’s aggressive trade policies. As tensions rise globally, nations brace for potential economic fallout from this escalating trade war initiated by the U.S..

Senator Bill Cassidy wants Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to explain the changes next week. HHS hasn’t shared many details about the mass firings that started Tuesday but did release some information on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Democratic attorneys general and governors from 23 states and Washington, DC, are suing HHS and Secretary Kennedy over a $12 billion cut in public health funding. They claim this reduction is illegal and harmful during ongoing health crises like the opioid epidemic and mental health care issues. New York Attorney General Letitia James warned these cuts could undo progress in vital healthcare areas.

These events put more pressure on HHS’s actions under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, affecting public health systems nationwide. The upcoming Senate hearing will likely reveal more about these controversial decisions impacting thousands of jobs and billions in funding across states.;

TRUMP SHOCKS Nation: Education Department to be Dismantled

This move fulfills a long-standing conservative goal to eliminate what they see as federal overreach in education. The decision is expected to impact millions of public school students and their families, especially concerning federal oversight and financial aid programs.

Critics argue that dismantling the department could lower educational standards and accessibility, particularly for disadvantaged communities. Despite these concerns, Trump aligns with business leaders like Elon Musk, who support his agenda through political contributions. This alignment further blurs the lines between politics and business in America today.

The executive order has sparked intense debate about educational policy amid ongoing political polarization over funding and regulations post-COVID-19 pandemic. Educators’ unions and Democratic lawmakers are expected to push back strongly against this decision, highlighting a critical juncture in U.S. education policy under Trump’s influence within the GOP.

His actions have left global partners unsure about their standing. Allies and adversaries are closely watching how Trump’s second term will unfold on the world stage.

In his first 100 hours, Trump signed executive orders, including one labeling Mexican cartels as foreign terror organizations. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and attended his inauguration, supporting his push for increased NATO defense spending. Meloni is seen as a key EU contact amid fears of a potential trade war with Europe under Trump’s leadership.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that employees in these offices will be placed on paid administrative leave immediately.

In another major development, the Pentagon is deploying 1,500 active-duty troops to secure the US-Mexico border. This action underscores the administration’s commitment to tackling illegal immigration and boosting national security. The deployment marks a significant shift in immigration policy after Trump’s election victory, signaling a tougher approach to border control.

Meanwhile, President Trump signed his first piece of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration — the Laken Riley Act. Named after a Georgia nursing student murdered by an undocumented immigrant, this law highlights the administration’s focus on tightening immigration laws and ensuring public safety. The act received bipartisan support in Congress, showing changing political dynamics around immigration issues.

Additionally, far-right leaders Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes have spoken out after receiving clemency from Trump for their roles in the January 6 riot. They expressed hopes that Trump would seek retribution for their prosecutions, adding another layer of controversy to his early days back in office as he sets an

Just Stop Oil slammed corporate power and fossil fuel industries, saying they control major political parties and are the real winners of the election. They called Trump a “fake populist,” claiming he ignores what they see as vital — stopping oil and gas drilling. The group urged regular people to act since they believe no leaders will make needed changes.

Activist Joseph Aggarwal was detained by police after joining the protest. He voiced concerns about a lack of true democracy across Western nations, arguing voters get similar policies no matter which party wins, worsening living conditions and climate issues.

SECURITY FAILURES at Trump Rally Spark Outrage

24 July 2024 — Two local law enforcement officers left their post to search for a suspicious man before the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally. This decision raises questions about whether a key position was left unattended as the shooter climbed onto a roof.

Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris testified that the officers were stationed at a second-floor window with a clear view of the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. Paris admitted uncertainty about whether staying at their post would have allowed them to see Crooks climbing onto the adjacent building’s roof.

The testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee sheds light on security preparations for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but also highlights potential lapses in law enforcement decisions. The Butler County District Attorney and Secret Service have not responded to requests for comments on who ordered the officers to leave their post.

The incident has sparked growing concerns over multiple security failures that enabled Crooks to fire eight shots into the crowd, resulting in one death and two injuries. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after being criticized by lawmakers for what she called the agency’s “most significant operational failure” in decades.

ALARMING DHS Revelation: 670,000 Border 'Gotaways’ in FY2023 — The Shocking Truth Behind the Numbers

11 December 2023 — Fox News recently uncovered a startling revelation from officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They disclosed to Arizona’s congressional delegation and House and Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees that an astounding 670,000 known “gotaways” slipped through the border in FY2023.

In addition to this alarming figure, lawmakers were made aware of a daily influx of approximately 5,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. These individuals are handed off to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that aid them in reaching their final destinations. This rate could equate to nearly 1.8 million illegal migrants entering the country each year.

The DHS report also shed light on a record-breaking number of daily encounters by Border Patrol with migrants — over 12,000 in one day alone. This follows a record-setting year with more than 2.4 million encounters in FY23 and an unprecedented monthly high exceeding 260,000 last September.

When questioned about collaboration efforts with Mexico to control migrant flow at the southern border, DHS officials expressed concern for the “safety and security of noncitizens”. They highlighted risks these individuals often face due to dangerous travel methods like illicit train rides.
