President Donald Trump’s tariffs continue to affect the global markets, with stock futures dropping once again, prompting concern among investors. Despite the drop, Trump remained committed to his tariff plan, issuing a statement insisting that he would follow through on his policies. White House officials spent time defending the sweeping tariff plan, which led to an increase in skepticism from investors.
Millions of protestors took to the streets across the US in opposition to Trump and his senior adviser Elon Musk, staging ‘Hands Off’ protests in over 1,000 locations.

The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency made controversial decisions, such as mass firings of federal workers and cuts to humanitarian aid programs.
Amid these developments, Senator Bernie Sanders spoke out against Trump’s suggestion of seeking a third term in the Oval Office in 2028, criticizing Republicans’ lack of belief in the rule of law and the Constitution. Meanwhile, Elon Musk and other wealthy individuals criticized Trump’s tariff plan, which has resulted in significant losses for them.
