Trump announces flurry of additional tariffs on Canada

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Donald Trump announced a flurry of new tariffs on Canada set to take effect Wednesday. Trump posted Tuesday on TruthSocial to announce that he directed the secretary of the Department of Commerce to double the previously announced 25% Canadian tariff on steel and aluminum. The tariffs are expected to go into effect Wednesday, Trump said, as he called on Canada to “drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products.” “I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area,” Trump wrote, who added that the additional tariffs were also in response to an electricity tax the country imposed on the U.S. “This will allow the U.S. to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate t...

‘Leave now’: Trump admin repurposes controversial CBP One app to encourage self-deportations

By Adam Shaw , Bill Melugin  | Fox News The Trump administration is rolling out a new app to replace the controversial CBP One app with the new replacement designed to facilitate the self-deportation of illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security is announcing the CBP Home app -- which will launch with a self-deportation reporting feature for those in the country illegally.  It replaces the CBP One app, which was expanded by the Biden administration to allow migrants to schedule appointments at ports of entry to be paroled into the U.S. Hundreds of thousands were paroled into the U.S. as a result. The Trump administration has ended the ability to use the app for that purpose.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Religious slaughter in Syria shows need for US, Europe to ‘keep a close eye’ on Islamist regime

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News With hundreds left dead over the weekend under Syria’s new regime, Greek Foreign Minister Giorigios Gerapetritis warned Europe and the U.S. to "keep a close eye" on the ruling Islamist group that is working to gain acceptance by the West.  Syria contains a sizable population of Orthodox Christians, and Gerapetritis insisted the international community demand religious minorities be included in governance, or else leave sanctions in place.  "All ethnic and religious minorities should be included in the governance, rule of law," he told Fox News Digital in an interview conducted last week prior to the weekend's violence.

Johnson looks to pass stopgap as government shutdown deadline looms

By Mychael Schnell  | The Hill Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is looking to lock down the votes to pass his stopgap funding bill and avert a government shutdown by Friday’s deadline, as he works to keep the lights on in Washington during the beginning weeks of President Trump’s second term. Johnson unveiled a continuing resolution Saturday that would keep the government funded until Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year. The stopgap would boost defense funding and cut nondefense programs. President Trump endorsed the measure shortly after its release, urging Republicans to “vote (Please!) YES” when it hits the floor. House Democratic leaders, meanwhile, slammed the measure as a “partisan” bill that “recklessly” cuts a number of benefits, announcing that they will vote agai...

Trump says US will experience ‘period of transition’ when asked if economy could see a recession this year

By Taylor Penley | Fox Business President Donald Trump declined to explicitly rule out a full-blown recession for the U.S. economy this year, telling Maria Bartiromo in a recent "Sunday Morning Futures" exclusive that the country will see a "period of transition" as his policies take effect. "I hate to predict things like that," he said of a recession. "There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing… it takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us." The president's comments come amid some business leaders' instability concerns over tariffs imposed on China, Canada and Mexico, as well as growing concerns of a potential economic slowdown.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Ross: Democrats have turned Women’s History month into a joke

By Kimberly Ross | Washington Examiner, Commentary Since President Ronald Reagan, every president, Republican and Democrat, has recognized March as Women’s History Month. The purpose of this observance is purportedly to honor women, their role in our nation’s history, and their continued influence. But in recent years, the leftist obsession with expanding the definition of “woman” has made a mockery of everything truly feminine in favor of appeasing the few. The idea that transgender women, who are biological males, should literally be treated and counted as women is increasing in popularity. After President Donald Trump signed executive orders declaring the government would not fund programs that support gender ideology or so-called gender transition for chi...
