President Trump is back in Washington, pursuing major policy changes on his own terms.

We know from the past that means challenging precedent, busting norms, and pushing against the status quo.

NPR is covering it all with Trump's terms, a podcast where we curate stories about the 47th president with the focus on how he is upending the way Washington works.

Listen to Trump's terms from NPR.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.

President Trump signed executive orders today imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada

and 10% on goods from China. He says energy resources

from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff. It's not clear when these tariffs take effect,

though. These countries are the U.S.'s three biggest trading partners. Trump says he's imposing

them because he claims the countries allow fentanyl to come into the U.S. and also because of the trade

deficit between the U.S. and these because of the trade deficit between the U.S.

and these three countries, both Canada and Mexico, have vowed to retaliate in kind if Trump went ahead

with the new tariffs. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading to Panama today on his first trip

as the Trump administration's top diplomat. Trump has threatened to take back the Panama Canal, which Rubio plans to visit tomorrow.

As NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.

In recorded video messages, both in Spanish and English, Secretary Rubio says he's putting a

priority on the Western Hemisphere, a region he says has been overlooked.

American leadership is back and we stand with our regional partners. This is where we live.

This is the region we call home. And it's where our future prosperity and security, in large

part, will depend. Panama's president says he's ready to talk about migration and trade, but has ruled out

any discussion with Rubio over control of the Panama Canal. The secretary plans to visit the canal on

Sunday. The trip will also take him to El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.
