  • As President Donald Trump's second administration continued its effort to swiftly reshape the federal government, a union representing foreign service officers at the U.S. Agency for International Development accused the administration of failing to comply with last week's temporary restraining order to prevent the dismantling of USAID.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's comments on his potential second term policies, focusing on trade and tariffs. Trump suggested that he would impose a 10% tariff on all goods imported into the U.S., aiming to reduce the trade deficit and fund tax cuts. He also mentioned the possibility of escalating tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on American products, potentially leading to a trade war. This approach, Trump argued, would bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and make other countries more willing to negotiate trade deals.

The discussion around these policies reflects Trump's ongoing emphasis on America First economic nationalism.
