Summary

Today’s Headlines: Trump has once again tweaked his tariff policy, exempting some Canadian and Mexican goods until April 2nd. Meanwhile, U.S. allies—including the UK, Australia, and Saudi Arabia—are considering limiting intelligence sharing over security concerns, while the UK is already banned from passing U.S. intel to Ukraine. With Ukraine’s weapon supplies dwindling, EU leaders are stepping up military spending. In domestic news, Trump is reportedly planning to dismantle the Department of Education via executive order, though its fate may be up to Congress. The House voted to censure Rep. Al Green after his outburst during Trump’s speech. And in Arizona, a court permanently blocked the state’s 15-week abortion ban, citing the voter-approved constitutional protections.
