BBCThe eighth week of Donald Trump was distinguished by the amazing Ping-Ping from the customs tariff and anti-peace, Ukraine's peace talks with officials from both Kiev and Moscow.
The American president continues to manage the headlines of newspapers as they are progressing in their policies. Here is a quick look at some of its biggest modern moves.
1) An rising commercial war
In his plan to obtain a 25 % tariff for all steel and aluminum products coming from the rest of the world.
However, his team stopped his plan to double the American definitions of Canadian steel imports and aluminum to 50 %, just hours after the threat of the northern American neighbor in another Manuhah in their trade war.
The decline came after Prime Minister Ontario Doug Ford said that his boycott would suspend new charges by 25 % on the electricity it sends across the border.
“The colds prevailed,” Peter Navarro, the White House Trade Adviser, told Broadcaster CNBC.
2) refusing to exclude the recession with the decline in shares
The unpredictable definitions and threats of new forms have sparked fears between investors, especially in light of the question that Trump seemed to avoid during the weekend about whether the American economy is heading towards a declining turn.
In an interview with Fox News, the president who heads the world's largest economy refused to be attracted to a question about whether there was a recession on the horizon – he instead says that the United States was in a “transitional period” because “what we do is very large.”
These words seem to do not much to reassure confidence between investors, as the US S&P 500 has decreased about 3 % the next day.
3) Take a shot on the European Union, which threatens the tariff of alcohol
The US allies around the Atlantic Ocean were not through Trump's tariff threats, as he actually assumed his social network on Thursday to threaten European Union countries with a 200 % tariff for alcohol.
Its alcohol tariff is the latest escalation in a separate trade war with European Union countries, which revealed earlier that day their anti -steel and aluminum tariffs.
Trump – who has avoided alcohol throughout his life – highlighted his position on social media that the 200 % customs tariff will stop only once the European Union stops “a 50 % bad tariff on whiskey.” Al -Ittihad called “hostile and abusive.”
4) The olive branch extended to the Canadian Prime Minister
“The temperature has decreased” this week between the United States and Canada thanks to the olive branch, which was extended by US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lottenic, said Dog Ford at Ontario.
The two countries hit a more diplomatic dialect by the end of the week – which started with a set of customs tariffs and anti -counter.
Ford, which only last week Threaten Canada is presented to the United States, which appeared from a long session in Washington, DC with Lootnick, saying: “I can frankly say that it was the best meeting of his presence here.”
5) Peace talks with Ukraine and Russia
A 30 -day ceasefire proposal was revealed between Russia and Ukraine this week in Saudi Arabia. This was the last step in the Trump administration plans to secure peace in the region after more than three years of widespread war.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz met with a Ukrainian team for several hours on Tuesday. After that, Kyiv said he was ready to support immediate temporary suspension in the fighting.
A separate team of US officials, led by Steve Witkev's special envoy, arrived in Moscow on Thursday to discuss the conditions with Russian officials. President Vladimir Putin, who then said that there is a lot of “much to do” in the ceasefire deal.
6) Raise the suspension in help to Ukraine
Tuesday talks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia led to some measures. The American delegation then said that it would resume sending military aid to Ukraine and sharing intelligence information with the besieged country – with which its relations were recently strained.
This announcement came a few days after the Pentagon announced that it will suspend the participation of satellite images with Ukraine – the technology on which Kiev relies on to track the movements of Russian forces and missile attacks.
7) The billions were canceled from climate grants
As part of its leadership to reduce government discounts, the administration canceled the funding of $ 20 billion (15.4 billion pounds) of the climate and environmental grants during the Biden era on Tuesday. Projects are frozen for weeks.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also announced plans to end funding for more than 400 diversity, stock and integration rights (Dei) and environmental justice by about $ 1.7 billion.
A federal judge pressed government lawyers on Wednesday to provide “a kind of evidence” that these grants “were made illegally.”
8) He moved to deport permanent American legal housing
The administration tried to deport a permanent legal graduate in the United States and the University of Colombia for his participation in 2024 protests on the campus on the war in Gaza. Trying is now the subject of a legal battle.
The Palestinian protester Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder who was considered one of the movement's faces in Colombia, was held at a detention center in Louisiana, where he was sent after his arrest in New York.
Trump said that Khalil's arrest was “many coming” and briefly after his administration's announcement that it reduced grants of $ 400 million (309 million pounds) to Colombia University because it failed to fight anti -Semitism on the campus. The university pledged to restore its financing.
9) Comprehensive discounts to strike the Ministry of Education
The Ministry of Education announced this week that it is planning to extract 1,300 workers, a step that would actually reduce the workforce in the administration in half.
In charge of managing federal loans to the college and enforcement of the Civil Rights Law in schools, the department has been eliminated long ago by Trump and some conservatives to eliminate this completely – although such a procedure will require the approval of Congress.
10) More cutting at the United States Agency for International Development
Employees of the United States Agency for International Development (the United States Agency for International Development “were asked to” tear the largest number of documents “and the files of employees as much as they could this week, as it left the purification process for a period of weeks on the vast majority agency of its hollow initiatives.
After this option was exhausted, the employees were directed, then they must resort to “burning bags”.
The request, which sparked an alert between employees and work groups, comes at a time when Foreign Minister Rubio confirmed that 83 % of long -term aid programs that were managed under the United States Agency for International Development have been completed.
11) He formulated a message to Iran
Trump participated in a different type of diplomacy when he formulated his ideas on a piece of paper instead of marking a foreign leader in a social media post.
In a message addressed to the Supreme Leader of Iran, which was transmitted by an official from the United Arab Emirates, the US President said he had made negotiations on the nuclear program for Bran.
His warnings to confront the potential military action unless the talks are agreed upon that they fell on uninterrupted ears – as Ayatollah Ali Khouni refused the idea of negotiations, describing it as “a deception of public opinion.”
12) CDC's withdrawal – just hours before listening
Dave Wildon, the Republican who tends to the head of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), was withdrawn by the Trump administration to be its candidate to the Public Health Agency – the next decision just hours before his appointment to testify before the Senate Committee.
A BBC news partner said:
To date, all Trump choices – including some are the most controversial – have been approved.
13) “Tesla Takedown” pushes Trump to the eye of a new car
Tesla facilities throughout the United States faced demonstrators standing outside the doors of electric car manufacturers to summon its founder – Elon Musk – for the new role he plays in the Donald Trump administration.
The “Tesla Taketedown” protests were largely peaceful, but some in parts of the country ended with fire lighting in the galleries.
This prompted the new president of Musk to a declaration that these local terrorist individuals should be classified, as he held an event in the White House park that displays the technical billionaire product.
While the husband sat at the front seat of an electric car, Trump told the media that he intended to buy.
14) He went on the attack with Vans
During visiting his oval office this week, Taoiseach Micheál Martin Donald Trump presented a bowl of Shamrocks.
JD Vance, who attended the same meeting, did not miss his own opportunity to honor the Irish Prime Minister, and wore a pair of creamy socks that she adorned appropriately.
A gift from the traditional Shamrok Paul gave a warm reception by the president, while the vice president's attempts to celebrate Al -Jazeera Al -Zumda heritage were less than that.
“What is with these socks?” The president asked, as the room erupted in laughter. The group was discussing inflation, but the socks proved that it was a central discussion point as well. “I try to stay concentrated, but I am very liked by VP socks.”
