Trump announced on May 12 he’d slash the 145% tariffs on China down to 30%, for at least 90 days, marking his latest reverse-course from the steep “Liberation Day” tariffs he announced on April 2 against nearly all U.S. trading partners. The move sent stock markets in the U.S. and abroad into a tailspin, fueled recession fears and prompted some of Trump’s allies in the business community to speak out against the policy. A 10% baseline tariff on all countries took effect April 5, and steeper rates for countries the U.S. runs a trade deficit with were imposed for less than a day in mid-April, until Trump announced a 90-day pause for all countries except China. Other big moments in Trump’s presidency include the leak of U.S. military attack plans to Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, what was widely considered to be the first major blunder of his second term. Trump’s tariff war with U.S. trading partners, and his efforts to slash the federal workforce with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, have largely consumed his first few months in office. He’s hosted several world leaders for Oval Office sit downs, including most recently South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who Trump argued with over false claims that white farmers in the country were victims of a genocide. In an explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, he and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president in front of the media. Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport migrants has also led to allegations he’s flouted due process and defied court orders, sparking a broader debate about the judiciary’s authority over the executive branch.
