President Biden's preemptive pardons for family members ignite controversy, while former President Trump pivots towards a more measured approach to trade policy.
President Joe Biden's preemptive pardons for members of his family, including his two brothers and sister, have sparked controversy. Biden issued the pardons after some on the right suggested the Biden family should face prosecution, citing 'unrelenting attacks and threats' motivated by partisan politics. He stated that he expected these attacks to continue and therefore felt compelled to take this action.
However, critics argue that the pardons are an admission of guilt and a way to protect the family from potential wrongdoing.Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump's proposed economic policies have also drawn attention. While Trump initially planned to impose sweeping tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico on his first day in office, he has since opted for a more measured approach. He will instead direct federal agencies to review various trade policies and recommend actions. This includes examining existing tariffs, trade agreements like the USMCA, and intellectual property rights. The administration will also explore the creation of an External Revenue Service to manage tariff revenue.Trump's address to his supporters at Capital One Arena focused on themes of economic nationalism and border security. He promised to 'drill, baby, drill,' end the Green New Deal, and declared that 'there are only two genders — male and female.' The speech also highlighted Trump's 'peace through strength' foreign policy, emphasizing American leadership and the pursuit of long-term peace. During the event, a protester was removed from the venue after disrupting the proceedings
