Feb 22

Former President Donald Trump has been active on multiple fronts over the last day. Here is a summary of his key actions:

1. Increased global tariffs from 10% to 15% — Trump announced that, following a comprehensive review of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on tariffs, he will immediately raise the global tariff rate from 10% to a legally validated 15%. He stated that new lawful tariffs will be determined and implemented in the coming months to continue the process of making America great again.

2. Praised three Supreme Court justices — In his first social media post of the day, Trump expressed admiration for Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, who supported his tariff policy. He referred to them as individuals who undoubtedly want to make America great again.

3. Dispatched a maritime medical ship to Greenland — Trump revealed that, in collaboration with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a medical ship is en route to Greenland to provide care for underserved patients there.

4. Threatened Netflix over board member Susan Rice — Trump called for Netflix to remove board member Susan Rice, warning of consequences if the company fails to comply. This came after Rice suggested that Democrats would take action against companies that yield to the president. Trump did not specify what penalties Netflix might face.

5. Withdrew support for a Republican congressman — Trump revoked his endorsement of Representative Jeff Hurd, citing insufficient support for his tariff agenda. He announced he would instead back Hurd's opponent, Hope Sheppman, for the congressional seat.

6. Approved emergency aid for Washington, D.C. — Trump authorized emergency assistance for the nation's capital following a spill of at least 250 million gallons of untreated sewage into the Potomac River, a major source of drinking water for the region.

7. Expressed curiosity over Iran's defiance — According to presidential envoy Witkoff, Trump questioned why Iran has not yet submitted to U.S. demands. Trump has instructed Witkoff and Kushner to insist that Iran cease uranium enrichment and surrender nuclear materials, and has arranged a meeting with exiled Iranian Prince Reza Pahlavi.

8. Received a letter from Macron — French President Emmanuel Macron wrote to Trump urging him to lift sanctions on European officials. Macron intends to challenge Trump on issues related to social media and free speech, making this a priority during France's G7 presidency.

9. Faced reimbursement demands from state governors — Multiple Democratic governors have demanded that the Trump administration return collected tariff revenues. The governor of Illinois called for a $1,700 refund per household, while California Governor Gavin Newsom insisted that refund checks be issued "immediately," with interest.
