Summary
-
Executive Order on Gain of Function Research:
- President Trump issued an executive order restricting federal funding for gain of function research, which involves experimenting with viruses and pathogens that could potentially trigger a pandemic.
- The order aims to prevent US tax dollars from funding such research in countries like China and Iran, and strengthens oversight mechanisms to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely.
- The controversy around gain of function research became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with theories suggesting the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
-
Self-Deportation Program:
- The Trump administration introduced a program offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the United States.
- This initiative aims to save government resources, as deporting an undocumented immigrant costs approximately $17,000.
- The program uses the CBP home app for migrants to register and self-deport, with the stipend paid once their departure is confirmed.
-
Trade Negotiations:
- We mention ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, following Canada's federal elections.
- President Trump is also engaging in trade talks with China, aiming to address tariffs and improve trade relations.
-
Media Coverage and Public Reaction:
- We highlight media reactions to Trump's policies, noting that pro-immigration advocates are critical of the self-deportation program.
- It also mentions the media's struggle to criticize the executive order on gain of function research due to its perceived benefits.
