Trump Orders National Guard and Tariffs in the USA

  • Trump controls the Washington police and introduces the national guard.
  • Tariffs have been suspended, regardless of economic forecasts.
  • The Trump administration is conducting investigations against opponents.

President Donald Trump announced the activation of the national guard in Washington, asserting that crime in the city "is coming out of control." This step comes against the backdrop of a decline in crime rates, including with regard to violent crimes. Trump's decision to control the Washington police has provoked backlash, as he also seeks to divert attention from criticism regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump also responded to the introduction of tariffs, referred to as "Day of Release," regardless of the negative economic forecasts of economists. In addition, his administration is actively conducting investigations against political opponents, which raises concerns about authoritarian trends in governance.

This development of events indicates that Trump is attempting to consolidate his position, utilizing the power of federal agencies, particularly in the context of national security. Leaders of armed forces indicate challenges related to the deployment of military forces on US territory.

Trump also plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to resolve the issue of the war in Ukraine, which underscores his desire to strengthen international relations.

These actions of Trump provoke concern among politicians and experts, as they could have serious consequences for democracy in the USA.
