    Donald Trump has been making headlines in the past few days with several significant developments. Here's a rundown of the latest news:

    - **Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China**: Trump announced that tariffs of 25% on Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% on Chinese goods will take effect. Canadian energy, including oil, natural gas, and electricity, will be taxed at a lower 10% rate. This move is expected to increase costs for U.S. small businesses and households, with estimates suggesting an annual increase of $1000 to $1200 per household[1].

    - **AI Infrastructure Investment**: Trump announced a major private sector investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure, with companies like OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle committing up to $500 billion over four years. The project, called Stargate, aims to build AI infrastructure in the U.S. and is expected to create over 100,000 jobs. However, Elon Musk questioned the size of the investment, leading to a public spat with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman[2][4].

    - **Combating Anti-Semitism**: Trump signed an Executive Order to combat anti-Semitism, expanding on his previous order to marshal federal resources to address the issue. The new order demands immediate action from federal departments and agencies to protect Jewish Americans and prosecute anti-Semitic crimes. It also calls for the removal of resident aliens who violate U.S. laws[3].

    - **Press Briefing**: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt briefed the media on various topics, including the confirmation of Trump's cabinet nominees, the signing of the Lakan Riley Act, and the expansion of detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay for high-priority criminal illegal aliens. She also mentioned recent ICE arrests and the release of hostages from Hamas captivity[5].

    - **Public Appearances**: Trump made public appearances, including a White House briefing where he announced the AI infrastructure investment and a signing event for the Lakan Riley Act.

    - **Social Media**: Trump's announcements and actions have been widely covered on social media, with many users discussing the implications of his tariffs and AI investment plans.

    Overall, Trump's recent activities have focused on economic policies, technology investments, and law enforcement, with significant long-term implications for the U.S. economy and international relations.
