This analysis explores the potential effects of Trump’s agenda, providing a comprehensive look at how it may influence global trade and energy dynamics.
At the beginning of the week, the House of Representatives passed a temporary budget bill that will fund the federal government until September. After pushing the bill through without Democratic support, Republican representatives left Washington to return to their districts—signaling they are not open to further negotiations.

The sharp market drop on Monday is undermining President Trump’s economic promises. In the run-up to the election, Trump gained a significant advantage over Kamala Harris by focusing on inflation and high prices. However, his trade wars are rattling the markets. His push for a more protectionist U.S. economy has reignited fears of a recession.

U.S. President Donald Trump has labeled his plan to take over the Gaza Strip and Palestinian lands in general as “real estate development for the future.” The plan is actually to take over the Gaza Strip. He claimed that he would persuade both Jordanian and Egyptian leaders to accept the relocation of about 2 million Palestinians in their countries.
Trump, whose actions were unsurprising given his campaign promises, waged a war to hollow out federal agencies while simultaneously dismantling institutions that held America's claim to leadership in the international system.
