Fox News Politics Newsletter: ‘Spine of steel’, willing to deal
Welcome to the latest edition of the Fox News Politics newsletter, where we bring you the most up-to-date information on the Trump administration, Capitol Hill, and more. Here’s a rundown of the top stories making headlines:
– The Naval Academy has removed a list of books from its library during a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) purge.
– The Supreme Court has sided with President Trump over fired probationary federal employees.
– Judge Boasberg has canceled a planned hearing to review Trump deportations.
White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, stated that “all options are on the table for each country” when it comes to negotiating deals over the latest U.S. tariffs. Leavitt warned countries that choose to retaliate against the U.S. that President Trump “has a spine of steel and he will not break.” Since Trump’s announcement of “Liberation Day” tariffs, 70 countries have reached out to the president to begin negotiations. China, on the other hand, has retaliated with 34% tariffs against the U.S., which Leavitt believes is a mistake.
