Fox News: Dems likely to 'waste millions' on deluge of lawsuits but could cost Trump precious time: expert
Democrats are expected to spend millions on lawsuits against President Trump's executive orders, with law professor John Yoo predicting limited success. He believes Trump will prevail on most orders, although Democrats may delay implementation for about a year.
The lawsuits stem from Trump's policies, including the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency and immigration measures. Despite facing over 54 lawsuits since his inauguration, Yoo argues that these legal challenges are part of the normal political process rather than a targeted attack.

The Telegraph: Trump’s laudable desire for peace may make him the Neville Chamberlain of our era
The Trump administration's approach to foreign policy has raised concerns, particularly regarding a recent phone call between President Trump and Russian President Putin about Ukraine.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is seen as a critical front in the struggle against totalitarianism, with parallels drawn to historical appeasement failures. Abandoning Ukraine could embolden Russia and China, leading to greater threats to U.S. interests. The author urges a reassessment of U.S. support for Ukraine to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Breitbart: Bessent: Any Price Increase from Tariffs Would Be 'Slight,' 'Transitory,' May Not Happen and Inflation Will Fall Overall
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed uncertainty about the impact of tariffs on prices, suggesting any increase would be minimal and potentially absorbed by currency and foreign producers. He emphasized that inflation is expected to decrease due to other policies in place.
In response to concerns about retaliatory tariffs from other countries, Bessent acknowledged the possibility of price increases but maintained that the overall inflation trend would be downward, aided by measures like lowering energy costs and deregulation.
Breitbart: Bessent: We'll Put Our Tariffs to Zero with a Country That Does Likewise
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended President Trump's plan for reciprocal tariffs, emphasizing that if one country imposes tariffs, the U.S. will match them. He highlighted the significant trade deficits with allies like Europe and Mexico, questioning whether they are truly allies if they take advantage of the U.S.
Bessent also noted that non-tariff barriers could be equally problematic and will be examined. He reiterated the need for fairness in trade practices, particularly concerning China's imbalanced trade relations.
