The Telegraph: Trump and Vance aren’t clever, they’re clueless
The rise of Trump and Vance signals a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy, with a focus on isolationism that could weaken NATO and embolden adversaries like Russia and China. This approach risks alienating allies and undermining the principles that have historically strengthened America.
Concerns grow that a fractured international stance may benefit extremist groups and adversaries rather than American workers. The rhetoric of "America First" could lead to significant geopolitical consequences, prompting a need for careful navigation of U.S. relationships abroad.

Forbes: Trump’s Tariffs Could Drive Up Grocery Prices On These Items
The Trump administration has implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, alongside a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Retailers and economists predict immediate price increases for fresh produce, as a significant portion is sourced from these countries, particularly Mexico.
Target's CEO noted that consumers could see higher prices within days, especially for fruits and vegetables with short shelf lives. The tariffs may also lead to inflationary effects across grocery stores, with potential price impacts on fuel in certain U.S. regions due to tariffs on oil and natural gas from Canada.
