Underscoring a commitment to bolstering national security, fostering American economic dominance, and recalibrating domestic policies. Key actions include commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army with an emphasis on military strength and readiness, deploying federal forces to secure Department of Homeland Security functions, and conditionally approving the acquisition of U.S. Steel subject to national security agreements. Economically, the administration is pushing to re-establish leadership in supersonic flight, enhance maritime activities like resource extraction and trade, and expand American dominance in drone technology through commercialization and military applications, alongside authorizing new border infrastructure projects. Domestically, there is a focus on eliminating waste and fraud in government programs like Medicaid, empowering state and local wildfire prevention and response efforts, and reversing prior environmental policies to increase energy generation in the Columbia River Basin. These efforts are complemented by proclamations for Father's Day and Flag Day, celebrating national values and heritage, and initiatives to strengthen cybersecurity and ensure American airspace sovereignty against unauthorized drone activities.

The President has issued a series of proclamations and a memorandum addressing diverse national and international matters. These include celebrating the 101st anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol, commending their service, and detailing the administration's efforts to secure the border by resuming wall construction, reinstating "Remain in Mexico," ending "catch-and-release," designating cartels as terrorist organizations, and implementing large-scale deportations, which are claimed to have drastically reduced border encounters and fentanyl trafficking. Regarding trade, new proclamations increase tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from 25% to 50% for all countries, effective June 4, 2025, to counter foreign oversupply and support U.S. industries, while imports from the United Kingdom retain a 25% tariff under a specific economic deal. National security risks at Harvard University led to a proclamation suspending and limiting the entry of foreign nationals seeking to study or participate in exchange programs there, citing the university's alleged failure to comply with federal law, refusal to provide information on student misconduct, and extensive financial entanglements with foreign adversaries, particularly China, raising concerns about military modernization and civil rights. For public health, May 2025 has been proclaimed National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, emphasizing the administration's commitment through a new Secretary of Health and Human Services, a "Make America Healthy Again Commission," and executive orders to expand children's sports and keep biological men out of women's sports. A Memorial Day 2025 proclamation designates it as a day of prayer for permanent peace, honoring fallen service members and their families and calling for a National Moment of Remembrance and half-staff flag display. Additionally, a proclamation restricts the entry of foreign nationals from 12 countries (Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen) with full suspensions, and 7 others (Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela) with partial suspensions, due to deficiencies in screening and vetting, security risks, high visa overstay rates, or lack of cooperation in accepting removable nationals. A memorandum directs an investigation into the previous administration's alleged unconstitutional use of an autopen for presidential signatures, particularly concerning the former President's cognitive decline and the legality of executive actions taken during that period. Finally, a sequestration order has been issued for Fiscal Year 2026, mandating reductions in direct spending budgetary resources for non-exempt accounts beginning October 1, 2025, and World Trade Week 2025 has been proclaimed to reaffirm a commitment to balanced and reciprocal trade policies focused on protecting American workers and industries.keep_pinSave to notecopy_allthumb_upthumb_down
