Stay informed with our live updates on the Trump administration. We are closely monitoring President Donald Trump’s progress on his campaign promises and the ongoing legal challenges to his executive orders and actions. From tariffs to federal employment, here’s a comprehensive overview of the key developments.
In April, President Trump announced significant new tariffs of 125 percent on Chinese imports. This bold move is part of his broader strategy to reshape trade relations.

This article provides an in-depth look at Trump’s decision regarding tariffs and how the potential trillions of dollars in new tariffs could impact consumers and the overall economy.

However, experts assert that there is no substantial evidence indicating that Harvard has violated the tax laws that restrict its engagement in specific political activities. This section outlines the critical aspects of the feud and what it means for the university.

This segment highlights the implications of these job cuts on federal services and the economy as a whole.
