Trump Announces Steel Tariff Hike to 50%
Trump Announces Steel Tariff Hike to 50% At a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump revealed that the United States will double its existing tariff on imported steel from 25% to 50%. The move, he said, is aimed at strengthening domestic steel production, reducing dependence on foreign steel—particularly from China—and ensuring long-term job security for American workers. Trump addressed a crowd filled with steelworkers, celebrating what he portrayed as a significant step toward revitalizing the American steel industry. “There will be no layoffs and no outsourcing whatsoever, and every US steel worker will soon receive a well deserved $5,000 bonus,” Trump declared, prompting loud applause from the audience. The president positioned the tariff increase as a bold defense of American manufacturing, particularly for Pittsburgh-based US Steel, the country's largest steel producer. Trump emphasized the local and national impact of his economic policy by announcing that $14 billion would be invested into the region’s steel sector through a partnership between US Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel. Although details of the partnership remain vague, Trump framed it as a monumental win for American industry and labor. “At 50%, they can no longer get over the fence,” he said, referring to foreign competitors. The announcement marks a sharp escalation in Trump’s ongoing tariff policies, which have been a hallmark of his economic strategy since his first term. He previously imposed a 25% tariff on steel in 2018, a decision he credited with rescuing the domestic steel sector from collapse. Now back in office, Trump is doubling down on the same approach, even as critics raise legal and economic concerns. Trump’s new tariff decision comes in the midst of a legal battle over the legitimacy of some of his broader tariff policies. An appeals court recently allowed the continuation of a case challenging various global trade duties, although his steel and aluminum tariffs have so far remained untouched by the lawsuit. The broader impact of Trump's trade policies has been significant, reshaping global trade relations and markets. His tariffs have triggered retaliatory measures from countries like China, igniting a prolonged trade war between the world’s two largest economies. That tension flared again this month when Trump accused China of breaching a tariff truce the two nations had reached. In response, China issued its own accusations, deepening an already fraught economic rivalry. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-05-31 -

That starts with respect learned at home, and it doesn't need beatings to get a point across. Kids are going to get in trouble no matter what you might do,as it comes from having peers that are out of line who they look up to or think are cool. How many children do you see that are smoking and coming from houses where neither parents smoke? -

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
And the Israeli answer: Israeli sources debunk UN accusation of Israel stopping aid delivery to Gaza Defense officials accused the United Nations on Friday of undermining efforts to supply food to Gazan civilians, adding to the existing tensions between the international body and Israel. The UN had acted as if it lacked the capacity to move food to northern Gaza, thereby stalling hundreds of aid trucks at the Kerem Shalom crossing point, the officials claimed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israeli-sources-debunk-un-accusation-of-israel-stopping-aid-delivery-to-gaza/ar-AA1FN11X?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=f07288fe45844484984f8dcb95adfa15&ei=46 -

Supreme Court Backs Trump Administration in Move to End Migrant Protections for Over 500,000
Supreme Court Backs Trump Administration in Move to End Migrant Protections for Over 500,000 In a significant decision with far-reaching consequences, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to revoke temporary legal status for more than half a million migrants currently living in the United States. The decision, handed down on Friday, affects individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who were previously protected under a humanitarian parole programme established by former President Joe Biden. The programme, known as CHNV humanitarian parole, granted migrants temporary permission to live and work in the U.S. for two years based on "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit," according to official U.S. government policy. It was designed to help people escaping severe economic hardship or political instability in their home countries. The Trump administration had long targeted the programme and took swift steps to dismantle it. On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to eliminate existing parole protections. In March, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem formally announced the termination of CHNV humanitarian parole. Following this, a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the administration’s efforts, prompting Trump officials to appeal directly to the Supreme Court. With Friday's decision, the justices effectively placed the lower court’s ruling on hold, allowing the administration to proceed with its plans while legal challenges continue. Two of the court’s three liberal justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, dissented from the majority opinion. In her dissent, Justice Jackson cautioned that the decision would allow “the lives of half a million migrants [to] unravel all around us before the courts decide their legal claims.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller described the Supreme Court’s ruling as a victory. Speaking to CNN, he said the administration “celebrated” the opportunity to begin deporting the estimated 530,000 people impacted by the decision. “The Supreme Court justly stepped in,” he said. Miller referred to the affected migrants as “invaders,” a term that sparked immediate backlash from immigrant rights advocates. The ruling follows closely on the heels of another major immigration-related Supreme Court decision earlier this month, in which the court permitted Trump officials to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for around 350,000 Venezuelan migrants. That programme, like CHNV, offered temporary legal status to individuals who could not safely return to their home countries. Several immigrant rights organizations, along with individuals who benefited from the CHNV programme, have filed lawsuits challenging the administration’s actions. They argue that the abrupt termination of legal protections places thousands of families at imminent risk. According to court filings, many of the affected migrants could face “serious risks of danger, persecution and even death” if forced to return. Critics of the Supreme Court’s decision expressed concern not only about the humanitarian fallout but also about the broader implications for immigration policy and judicial oversight. “This ruling allows an administration to dismantle humanitarian protections without full legal review,” said one advocacy group spokesperson. “We are watching lives being disrupted while fundamental questions about legality remain unresolved.” For now, the fate of hundreds of thousands of migrants hangs in the balance as the legal battle over humanitarian parole moves forward. While the Supreme Court has enabled the Trump administration to act immediately, final resolution on the issue is still pending in the lower courts. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-05-31
