In the fifth month of his term, Trump launched a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, leading to a cease-fire agreement during Iran and Israel. Congress also approves his signature policy legislation that would enact some of his most significant campaign promises, including an extension of his 2017 tax cuts and tighter border controls, while his mass deportation push has prompted protests and numerous lawsuits. Trump’s approval rating has declined since the start of his term, coinciding with his wide-ranging “Liberation Day” tariffs he announced on April 2 against nearly all U.S. trading partners, though he has largely backed off most of the levies. Other big moments in Trump’s presidency include the leak of U.S. military attack plans to Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and his efforts to slash the federal workforce with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency. He’s hosted several world leaders for explosive Oval Office sit downs, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who Trump argued with over false claims that white farmers in the country were victims of a genocide, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February. Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president in front of the media.
