Fox News: Judge blocks Trump from placing 2,200 USAID workers on leave
Judge blocks Trump from placing 2,200 USAID workers on leave
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan to place 2,200 USAID employees on leave, citing risks and logistical challenges for overseas staff and their families. The judge reinstated 500 staffers already on leave, but declined to block a funding freeze affecting the agency.

The ruling highlights concerns over communication disruptions and the impracticality of a 30-day return timeline for employees, some of whom have lived abroad for decades. Trump's push to dismantle USAID continues to face legal challenges.


Le Monde: Is Musk hurting Tesla in Europe?
Is Musk hurting Tesla in Europe?
In 2024, Tesla experienced its first-ever decline in worldwide sales, down 1%, amid a struggling global electric vehicle market. Analysts are wary that this may signal a "Musk effect," as political engagement from CEO Elon Musk, particularly his support for Germany's far-right AfD party, raises concerns.

Tesla's registrations in Germany fell by 41%, significantly more than the 18% decline in overall electric vehicle sales, attributed to the loss of purchase subsidies. Additionally, some German green energy companies have banned Tesla vehicles from their fleets in response to Musk's political stance.
