As the war drags on, the effectiveness of this policy change is uncertain. Critics argue that this decision comes too late to alter the course of the conflict significantly, and the ongoing diplomatic pressures could complicate Ukraine's efforts to maintain its territorial integrity.

Fox News: Trump would need congressional approval to dissolve Education Department, experts say
President-elect Trump has announced plans to abolish the Department of Education, but legal experts indicate he would require congressional approval, specifically a supermajority in the Senate, to do so. This presents a significant challenge, as bipartisan support is unlikely.
Experts suggest that instead of outright elimination, Trump may appoint a figurehead aligned with his agenda to effectively limit the department's influence. Historically, calls to dismantle the DOE have been made by Republicans since its establishment in 1979.
