Trump charges ahead with agenda in week 10 as judges try to block his executive orders
President Donald Trump is diving into the tenth week of his second term in office with a jam-packed schedule that includes a crucial Cabinet meeting on Monday. One of the burning questions on everyone’s mind is whether the controversial head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, will be in attendance.
During the last Cabinet meeting, tensions reportedly ran high between Musk and some Cabinet members, particularly Secretary of State Marco Rubio, over the deep cuts being made by DOGE. Both Rubio and President Trump vehemently denied these claims, but the rumors continue to swirl.
As the White House attorneys continue to navigate various legal battles surrounding the President’s second-term agenda, including issues such as the removal of illegal immigrants, slashing the federal workforce, and controversial executive orders, all eyes are on the upcoming Cabinet meeting.
In addition to the Cabinet meeting, President Trump is set to appear alongside Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, whom he recently appointed to the Council of Governors. Landry has been a vocal supporter of the President’s efforts to drastically reduce the federal education department, citing the need for change in the American education system.
Amidst the dismantling of USAID, advocates are urging President Trump to extend the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which is set to expire soon. The program, originally launched by President George W. Bush, has been credited with saving millions of lives in developing countries.
On the international front, U.S. negotiators are meeting with Russian and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia this week, following discussions between President Trump and both President Zelenskyy and President Putin. A partial ceasefire agreement has been tentatively reached, but the situation remains tense.
Looking ahead to Thursday, President Trump is sending a delegation to Greenland, including second lady Usha Vance and national security adviser Mike Waltz. However, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede has expressed displeasure with the visit, calling it “highly aggressive” and accusing the U.S. of attempting to assert power over the island nation.
Vice President JD Vance defended the administration’s actions, stating that the U.S. must prioritize its national security interests, even if it means taking a more assertive stance in territories like Greenland. The Vice President emphasized that President Trump is unafraid to stand up to European opposition in the pursuit of American security goals.
As the President’s second term continues to unfold, the nation watches closely as the administration navigates domestic and international challenges with determination and resolve.
