Two senior lawmakers, Sen. Chuck Grassley and Sen. Maria Cantwell, have introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, aiming to reassert Congress' authority over U.S. tariffs. The bill requires the president to notify Congress of new tariffs within 48 hours and mandates congressional approval within 60 days.

Fox News: Musk's political baggage: Polls show Americans sour on Trump's most visible advisor
Elon Musk's approval ratings have plummeted during his tenure as a key advisor in President Trump's administration, particularly with his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Recent polls indicate that a majority of Americans disapprove of his actions, with many believing that his efforts are harming the country.
Despite Trump's continued support for Musk, concerns are rising among Republicans regarding his political impact. Musk's controversial involvement in the high-profile Wisconsin Supreme Court election, where he contributed significant funds, has drawn criticism and may have influenced the election's outcome. He is expected to step back from his role at DOGE later this spring.

Times Of Israel: Katz declines to call settler rampage through Palestinian village ‘terrorism’
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz refrained from labeling a recent settler attack in the West Bank village of Duma as terrorism, stating, “This is my perspective.” The incident involved around 50 Israelis who injured three Palestinians and caused property damage. Katz emphasized the need for law enforcement against such acts but defended his decision to end administrative detentions for extremist settlers while maintaining them for Palestinians.
The West Bank has experienced increased violence since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. Despite a rise in settler violence, arrests of Israeli perpetrators remain rare, leading to international scrutiny and sanctions against violent settlers. Katz's comments contrast sharply with those of opposition figures who have condemned the attacks as pogroms.

The Telegraph: Trump places tariffs on island of penguins – and five other oddities
A group of uninhabited volcanic islands near Antarctica, primarily home to penguins, has been subjected to a 10% tariff under Trump's new trade regime, alongside other small territories like Norfolk Island, which faces a 29% tariff despite minimal exports.
Israel, in a last-minute decision, canceled its remaining tariffs but still faces a 19% tariff on goods exported to the US, despite a longstanding free trade agreement.
Le Monde: What does France export to the US?
Donald Trump has initiated a global trade offensive, imposing a 20% tariff on over €47 billion of French goods exported to the US. This move impacts various sectors, notably aeronautics, luxury goods, and wine, with significant reliance on American markets.
Airbus and Dassault Aviation are particularly affected, as aeronautics constitutes a significant portion of French exports. While luxury brands like LVMH may absorb costs due to their affluent clientele, the wine and spirits industry anticipates severe financial consequences from the tariffs.
The Federalist: Tariffs Are The Only Way To Restore Long-Term Economic Health
America's reliance on cheap foreign goods and easy credit has weakened its economy, transforming it from a manufacturing powerhouse into a fragile paper-based system. This dependency poses a significant risk to national security and economic stability.
To regain strength, a shift in trade relationships is necessary, as advocated by former President Trump. While this transition may involve short-term challenges, it is essential for fostering a self-sufficient economy that can withstand global pressures.
