Donald Trump against all: the 7 fundamental points of his decisions this week

The American president fulfilled one of his campaign promises and began to impose tariffs. It is a punitive measure that has given him a huge margin of negotiation with other countries. It started by its neighbors: Mexico and Canada, who gave them the highest rate: 25 percent. Trump presented him as a punishment for allowing the arrival of irregular migrants and illegal drugs to his territory. “Fentanyl coming from Canada and Mexico is massive, 300,000 people have been destroyed,” Trump said.

The strategy seems to work. The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, announced that she held a call with Trump and agreed to pause the tariffs for a month. As counterpart, your country will make a huge contribution. “Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 elements of the National Guard immediately, to avoid drug trafficking to the United States, particularly fentanil,” he said. The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, also managed to postpone the measure 30 more days, in exchange for a plan on the border with the United States to stop the traffic of fentanyl, including the presence of forces that work against criminal organizations.

After migrants, China is the second Trump battle front. This week, his government ordered 10 percent tariffs on that country. The president also points it out of produce a lot of fentanyl that enters American territory. But China did not respond in the same way as Mexico and Canada. On Tuesday, the Ministry of Finance announced 15 percent tariffs in imports of coal and natural gas, and 10 percent tariffs on imports of oil, agricultural machinery and vehicles. According to China, the increase regulated by Trump “seriously violates the WTO rules.”

Panama was one of the most mentioned countries in his possession speech. The president has said he wants to take control of the channel. “China is managing the Panama Canal, which was not given to China, which was given to Panama foolishly, but they violated the agreement and we will recover it, or something very powerful will happen,” Trump told CNN. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino, one of the greatest allies of the White House in the region, said: “The channel is operated by our country and will continue to be.”

After Marco Rubio’s visit this week, The Panamanian government announced that it will not renew the memorandum of understanding signed with China in 2017. The State Department assured that, in addition, the channel will not charge North American ships more rates, something that the Mulino government denied. Panama will support irregular migration issues, receiving deported flights that go to their countries of origin.

After his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced that the United States withdraws from the United Nations Human Rights Committee and will not continue to finance the UN Agency that provides assistance to Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The latter, after the signaling of Israel who accuses the institution of having Hamas fighters employees, involved in the attacks of October 7, 2023.

Trump has also announced his decision to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. The decision of the United States president would delay investigations to stop the outbreak of the sympathy in Africa, in addition to other emerging viruses in the world. United States also retires from Paris Agreement, key in the fight against climate change.

Trump intends to reduce government expenses during his mandate, so he appointed Elon Musk as head of the government efficiency department. The first front has been USAID, the United States Agency for International Development. Musk has described it as a “criminal”, “corrupt” organization and that “has no arrangement.” Trump has said that the agency was created with a good purpose, but became “directed by radical lunatics.”

After his meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump launched a controversial proposal to the world: what The United States takes control of the Gaza Strip. “We will do a good job … we will possess it and will be responsible for dismantling all the dangerous without exploiting bombs and other weapons in this place,” he said. He said he will “level the place and get rid of destroyed buildings” to economically develop the territory and have “an unlimited amount of jobs and homes for the people of the area.” The president said this idea “It will contribute great stability to that part of the Middle East and perhaps all the Middle East” And he promised to make Gaza “the Costa Azul de Oriente Middle.”

The proposal generated rejection in the UN and in the region. “It is a remarkable idea, and I think it should be really driven, examined and realized, because I think it will create a different future for everyone,” Netanyahu told Fox News.

Trump said during His mandate will only recognize two genres, male and female. These days, the president issued orders to prohibit transgender for the army. He also prohibited medical institutions from carrying out any hormonal or aesthetic procedure to change the sex of people under 19, and gave the faculty of trans young people to denounce those who fail to comply with this decision.

On his tour of Latin America, Marco Rubio made it clear that the United States will monitor the anti -democratic governments of the continent. He described as “enemies of humanity” to Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, and blamed them for being responsible for the immigration crisis in the continent. “If it weren’t for those three regimes, there would be no migration crisis in the hemisphere ”. From Nicaragua, he said that “it has become a family dynasty with a co -presidency where they have basically tried to eliminate, for example, the Catholic Church and everything religious, and what can threaten power to that regime.”
