Washington (AP) – Three weeks later, President Donald Trump continues to issue management orders to redesign the government, while the billionaire Elon Musk chases more options to improve the federal employee.
Trump also provoked trade wars with Canada and Mexico, but allowed one with China. Apparently he made the featherlight on potentially thorny political problems when he insisted that he was stern to confiscate the United States, to trigger the residents and to develop the area in “The Riviera of the Middle East”. It was an idea that friend and enemy had rejected all over the world.
Here are some snack bars in week 3:
So many management orders
Trump spent 20 days in office, and with almost every one of them he signed executive orders – often several.
Just like President Barack Obama and Joe Biden in front of him, Trump used an inauguration day to put a pen on paper to extinguish a huge number of his predecessor’s guidelines. Trump also placed the order on the first day to forgive most of the mobs who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, withdraw the USA from the Paris climate agreement and work TikTok.
Since then he has not stopped and took at least 92 presidential actions, including one on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. One that would prohibit paper straws will come soon.
The President signed most of the orders in the Oval Office; Some were carried out on board the Air Force One. Sometimes the officers asked a mini desk about the obligations about the presidential seal. It was there in the Ostozimmer of the White House when Trump signed an order to ban transgender athletes from participation in girls and women’s sports.
Trump used a similar desk to sign Executive Orders during a rally in the Capital One Arena after his opening speech. It is a prop who loves Trump. He even considered whether he had included a special desk in his conspirators from President before it happened.
“Maybe I even have a very tiny little desk on the 20th staircase because I always like to sign with a desk,” said Trump on November 18 in Iowa and referred to his term of office to get the Capitol levels up go.
Trade wars are eliminated for the time being
Trump has temporarily withdrawn from his customs threats against Canada and Mexico and discontinued a possible North American trade war when the United States has separate conversations with its two largest trading partners in the next 30 days.
But Trump followed in trade penalties against China and raised a 10% tax on imports from this country.
The adjutants of the White House say that tariffs and Chinese retaliatory measures are not the beginning of a trade war, since Trump’s executive commands say that taxes should force the countries to tackle drug smuggling and in the case of Canada and Mexico illegal immigration.
Nevertheless, Trump claimed that he wanted to set the retail weight as part of the negotiations with Canada and Mexico. Trump has published on his social media website with regard to Canada that the conversations should lead to a “final economic agreement”.
The White House dealt with Canada’s decision to create a “fentanyl zar” and the apply of 10,000 troops from the National Guard in Mexico to the border as victories for Trump. With most economic analyzes, however, this was also averted an almost disaster. When the tariffs are used, inflation can augment and subtract from growth.
Access to a vital federal payment system is contested in court
During the week there was another avalanche of activity to disturb the government.
The special commission, which is known by the Musk,, which is known as the Department of Government Efficiency, has almost the entire American agency for international developmental workers out of work worldwide, while a pressure on millions of federal workers has entered the CIA itself.
Lieutenants for Musk, the Tesla and X owner had temporarily accessed the payment information system of the financial department and issued concerns about transparency and accountability that led to a judicial challenge.
A federal judge on the early Saturday blocked Doge access to these records and determined a hearing for February 14th.
The payment system takes over trillion dollars every year. It is a hidden part of the state plumber that is available for the payment of income taxes, the submission of tax reimbursements, the distribution of money to contractors and the payment of social security and medical services – and one of the parts of the government that do not afford it can to be paid broken.
The finance department tried to deal with a letter to democratic legislators in which no changes to the system were made. People who are familiar with the situation who talked about the condition of anonymity to provide details that were not published said that the Musk team was looking for opportunities to block USAID payments.
“Half -harmful, but also serious”
The Press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, was asked on the Fox News Channel why Trump Nominated Linda McMahon as head of the educational department when he had suggested to completely close the agency.
“You have heard that the president is half harmful, but also serious, he wants Linda McMahon, who will lead this agency, get out of a job,” said Leavitt.
Joking, but maybe not joking, is a preferred Trump tactic that returns to his first term. And he did it again.
According to data and other essential information that disappeared from state websites, he didn’t know it as federal officials who had read the rules for the novel Trump administration. But he added: “That doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”
He has also laughed repeatedly about looking for a third term as president – constitutional bans are condemned.
“It will be the greatest honor of my life not only to serve once or three times or four times,” said Trump during a recent rally in Las Vegas. “No, it will serve twice.”
At a Republican meeting of the Republican House in Florida, Trump said that he had campaign funds for remaining who could run for a third term. He joked that he assumed that he could not apply “for myself, but I am not 100% sure”.
“Can I run again?” Trump asked house spokesman Mike Johnson, R-La. “Mike, I better not do you about it.
Gaza stiffer
An area in which Trump joked – but insists that he wasn’t – is Gaza.
Trump caused a turmoil by pointing out that the United States could take long-term control over the area characterized by the war, to force its Palestinian population, to live on a different way, and to apply a massive renovation project to apply it To make tourist destination along the Mediterranean.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio later suggested that a novel settlement would be fleeting, and even Leavitt insisted that such a move would only be fleeting.
But that was just doubled by Trump and said that the United States would “slowly and carefully begin the construction of one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on earth.
