📰 What did Donald Trump do today?
1. Will appoint key economic nominations
Trump is expected to announce nominations for positions in two key economic institutions: the Federal Reserve Board and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The Federal Reserve Board is key to controlling monetary policy; Trump wants to indicate a candidate for the Fed chair now. The previous head of the BLS was fired after a poor employment report — Trump accused her of falsifying data, although there is no evidence for this.
2. Forms a team for the 2028 Summer Olympics
Trump is preparing and will sign today an order creating a special team for organizing the Los Angeles 2028 Games, which is a key element of his sports and diplomatic agenda.
3. Again suggests the possibility of a third term
In an interview with CNBC, Trump again suggested he is considering running for a third term, even though the U.S. Constitution clearly limits presidents to two terms. Ultimately, however, he admitted: 'probably not' – he probably will not run again.
4. Accused employment data of manipulation
Trump called the latest jobs report 'rigged', claiming that weak data was intentionally published. This decision drew criticism due to the politicization of the independent statistical office.
5. Announced new trade tariffs and actions against India and Mexico
Trump announced an increase in tariffs on goods from India, related to the import of Russian oil, and the introduction of penalties on tomato exports from Mexico. Additionally, he is considering introducing visa bonds reaching up to $15,000 to limit overstaying.
