The amendment exempts imports valued at less than $800 from Canada and Mexico.
President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal government to his liking suffered a loss in court when a federal judge blocked his administration from firing the head of a federal watchdog agency without cause, likely triggering a lengthy appeal that could end at the Supreme Court.
U.S. District Justice Amy Berman Jackson determined the move was unlawful and issued a permanent injunction that reinstated special counsel Hampton Dellinger to his position.
Meanwhile, the Social Security Administration said it will cut 7,000 jobs and six of its 10 regional centers as part of the president’s downsizing of the federal workforce.
And Trump’s physician announced the president will have his annual physical next month, days after reporters raised questions about a bruise they saw on the back of his hand.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, going a step further than Trump, said the United Kingdom is ready to "put boots on the ground, and planes in the air" to sort out a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Starmer praised the UK's relationship with America and their work to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.
The prime minister pushed an old British slogan to "win the peace," and said the UK would be all in.
"That's what we must do now. Because it cannot be peace that rewards the aggressor," he said.
Trump spoke about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's upcoming visit to Washington, D.C., to sign a deal that would give U.S. access to Ukraine's mineral wealth.
"We're going to be at the site, and we'll be digging. We’ll be dig, dig, digging. Dig, we must," Trump said.
Trump provided a vague update on the negotiations to end the war in Ukraine and said "we've made a lot of progress."
"It will either be fairly soon or it won't be at all," he said.
The president repeated false claims about the money that was given to Ukraine by the Biden administration and praised the pending mineral deal with Ukraine.
"It's really very good for Ukraine and very good for us. The American taxpayers will now effectively be reimbursed for the money and hundreds of billions of dollars poured into helping Ukraine defend itself, which by and of itself is a very worthy thing to do," he said.
