Donald Trump's second term picks up steam in week three. The US president and his team made major moves. Trump proposed US control over Gaza. He wants to develop it into a "Riviera." This would mean resettling Palestinians. Any forced relocation violates international law.
Trump plans to put most of USAID's 10,000 global staff on leave. A judge temporarily blocked this plan. USAID aid programs are frozen worldwide. Trump wants to merge the agency with the State Department.
Trump imposed a 10% tariff on China. He held off on 25% tariffs for Canada and Mexico. In return, those countries will boost border security. Canada will clamp down on migration and fentanyl. Mexico will use troops to limit guns flowing south.
Trump offered incentives for federal workers to resign. A judge paused this plan, too, and critics question its legality.
Trump sanctioned ICC staff investigating US citizens. He ordered airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia. He withdrew from UN agencies for Palestinian refugees and human rights.
The US sent migrant detainees to Guantanamo Bay. Trump wants the base to hold 30,000 people. Ukraine must guarantee rare earths for US aid. Trump banned transgender women from female sports. He wants this to apply to the LA Olympics.
Trump released reservoir water in California, claiming it could have helped fight wildfires. Experts say the water will go to waste.
Trump launched a task force on "anti-Christian bias". He intervened in a golf dispute between PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
Climate change mentions were removed from US websites. Elon Musk's "Doge" department took over some agencies. A judge blocked Doge from accessing Treasury data.
Trump revoked Joe Biden's security clearance. AG Pam Bondi disbanded FBI task forces on election interference and Russian oligarchs. She wants to focus on drug cartels instead.
