President Donald Trump’s first Cabinet meeting of his second term covered a wide variety of topics, with Trump stating that the European Union was formed to harm the US. He announced the imposition of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and the EU. Trump also stated that Ukraine could forget about joining NATO, attributing Russia’s invasion to their aspirations. He is expected to sign a minerals deal with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy aimed at benefiting the US economically. Vice President JD Vance defended Trump amid accusations of making concessions to Russia during talks. Tech mogul Elon Musk, who played a leading role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), addressed the meeting, emphasizing that the country cannot sustain its deficit without DOGE. Musk did mention that there may be mistakes in cutting government spending under DOGE. He also defended his “pulse check” emails to ensure government workers are real and can fulfill their duties. Since taking office, Trump has frozen all foreign aid, including efforts to combat the Ebola virus. The USAID official confirmed that no funds for Ebola response had been released under the freeze. Musk’s efforts to ensure government efficiency and financial responsibility were highlighted during the meeting, with a focus on ensuring accountability among government workers.
