    Here's the latest on Donald Trump:

    In recent days, President Trump has been making waves with a flurry of executive orders and policy announcements. On February 10, he signed an executive order pausing all future investigations and enforcement actions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for at least 180 days. This move aims to address what Trump sees as "overexpansive and unpredictable FCPA enforcement" that has undermined American economic competitiveness and national security. The order also directs the U.S. attorney general to review and update FCPA guidelines and policies[1].

    On February 11, Trump held a signing ceremony in the Oval Office, where he discussed various topics, including a potential deal with Elon Musk, though details were scarce. He also touched on his administration's efforts to reduce government waste and corruption, mentioning billions of dollars in alleged fraud and abuse[2].

    Earlier in the month, Trump issued a presidential memorandum outlining his "America First Trade Policy," which directs federal agencies to evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy and issue reports by April 30. The memorandum hints at an aggressive timeline for reviewing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and suggests that Trump may rely on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs as part of his foreign policy strategy[3].

    On February 18, Trump signed another executive order aimed at reining in independent agencies to ensure they are accountable to the American people. The order requires these agencies to submit draft regulations for White House review and consult with the White House on their priorities and strategic plans[5].

    In other news, Elon Musk has reportedly bid $97.4 billion to buy OpenAI, a move that could have implications for Trump's tech policy, though this is more of a side note in the broader context of Trump's recent activities[4].

    Overall, Trump's recent actions reflect his administration's focus on reshaping U.S. trade policy, reducing government waste, and asserting presidential authority over independent agencies. These developments could have significant long-term implications for Trump's legacy and the direction of U.S. policy.
