Trump moving forward with tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico, targeting trade, border and fentanyl concerns

By John Carney | Breitbart The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump will impose new tariffs on major U.S. trading partners this weekend, strengthening his administration’s efforts to protect American industry and national security. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that a 25 percent tariff will be placed on goods from Mexico and Canada, while Chinese imports will face a 10 percent duty. The move, she said, is aimed at holding these countries accountable for their role in drug trafficking and securing fairer trade terms for American workers. “These nations have all enabled illegal drugs to pour into America,” Leavitt said. “The amount of fentanyl seized at the southern border in recent years alone has the potential to kill tens of millions o...

Rep. Cloud, Sen. Lee introduce bill to remove firearm suppressor regulations

By AWR Hawkins | Breitbart Rep. Mike Cloud (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) are introducing legislation Friday to eliminate the excessive regulations which make suppressor acquisition so cumbersome. Their legislation seizes on the hearing protection afforded by suppressors and is titled, Silencers Help Us Save Hearing (SHUSH) Act. Suppressors are currently under the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Cloud and Lee explain that this creates myriad steps for law-abiding citizens to follow/fulfill in order to get an accessory that has no barrel, no trigger, no action, no magazine capacity nor ability to accept a magazine. The steps for acquisition include, but are not limited to, filling out ATF forms, being fingerprinted and provided those prints to an FFL, being photogra...

Democrat critics of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the big pharma, healthcare dole for millions of dollars

By Sean Moran | Breitbart During Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Senate Democrats criticized the healthcare nominee for chasing money and influence, while they have received millions of dollars from the healthcare industry. Sen. Ron Wyden said that Kennedy, who Trump nominated to be his Health and Human Services Department Secretary, is “someone who chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if that may mean the tragic death of children and other vulnerable people.” Although Wyden attacked Kennedy for allegedly chasing “money and influence,” it appears that Wyden has raised significant sums from the healthcare industry, which has a vested stake in the potential confirmation of Kennedy.

U.S. confirms departure from Paris climate deal

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Washington notified the United Nations on Tuesday to confirm it is delivering on a key campaign pledge of President Donald Trump and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement to put U.S. energy and job growth first. On his first day back in the White House, Trump announced America would leave the accord, which is managed by the U.N. climate change body. “In recent years, the United States has purported to join international agreements and initiatives that do not reflect our country’s values or our contributions to the pursuit of economic and environmental objectives,” Trump’s executive order read.

L.A. caves to Trump, local residents: Pacific Palisades to reopen immediately

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Los Angeles County authorities announced Sunday evening at a mayor with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass that the Pacific Palisades will be completely reopened to residents in daylight hours on Monday, January 27 — far ahead of schedule. Two days before, at a roundtable at a local fire station on Friday, Bass had told President Donald Trump that it was unsafe for residents to return. After residents at the meeting objected, Bass relented and said they could return “within a week.” Trump replied: “That’s a long time, a week. I’ll be honest, to me, everyone standing in front of their house, they want to go to work and they’re not allowed to do it. … They’re safe. They’re safe. You know what? They’re not safe. They’re not safe now. They’re going to be much safer. A...

CIA Director Ratcliffe: ‘Day-one thing’ to get to bottom of Chinese ‘origins of COVID,’ Wuhan lab leak

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Ratcliffe told Breitbart News in his first interview after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Thursday that he intends to immediately get to the bottom of what the Agency knows about COVID leaking from a Wuhan lab in China. Ratcliffe was confirmed by the Senate Thursday and then sworn in by Vice President JD Vance as the newest director of the CIA. He spoke with Breitbart News on Thursday for his first exclusive interview, in which he laid out how he intends to reform the Agency to return the world’s preeminent intelligence service to its core mission and depoliticize it. He also ripped previous CIA director John Brennan, who led the Agency during former President Barack Obama’s administration, as being s...

Hegseth’s ex-wife disputes claims from estranged ex-sister-in-law: ‘there was no physical abuse in my marriage’

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Pete Hegseth’s ex-wife has disputed claims made by an estranged ex-sister-in-law she was abused during their marriage — a fact being downplayed by the mainstream news media and Democrats in a last-ditch effort to tank Hegseth’s confirmation as defense secretary. Samantha Deering, Hegseth’s ex-wife, said in an email to NBC News, who first reported the ex-sister-in-law’s claims: “I do not believe your information to be accurate, and I have cc’d my lawyer.” She added, “There was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you, I have let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
