US President Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting where he discussed tariffs on important partners, claiming the EU was formed to ‘screw the United States.’ He also announced that tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on April 2. Trump criticized the EU for not accepting American products while taking advantage of the US with a trade deficit.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, Trump hinted at possible concessions without going into detail but made it clear that Kyiv could forget about joining NATO. He emphasized that Ukraine needs to pay back the US for support it received. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to visit the White House to sign a minerals deal in exchange for continued US support.
In an unexpected turn, tech mogul Elon Musk was invited to speak at the meeting, where he discussed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its role in addressing the country’s deficit. Musk claimed that without DOGE, America would go bankrupt and defended his department’s actions.
Musk’s unconventional methods include “pulse check” emails to ensure government workers are real, alive, and productive. He admitted to unintentional mistakes such as canceling USAID’s Ebola programs but insisted there were no interruptions in services. Overall, Trump’s Cabinet meeting covered a wide range of topics including trade, national security, and government efficiency.
