📰 Headline: Trump Doubles U.S. Steel Tariffs to 50% in Bold Trade Move Trump Announces Doubling of Steel Tariffs to 50% June 2, 2025 | Washington, D.C. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a major change in trade policy by announcing the doubling of tariffs on imported steel—from 25% to 50%. The decision, which Trump says is aimed at protecting American manufacturing and steel jobs, is expected to spark renewed global trade tensions. Speaking at a rally in Ohio, Trump stated, "For too long, our steel industry has been under attack from cheap imports. It's time to stand up for American workers." The move has drawn mixed reactions. Supporters see it as a bold step to revive domestic production, while critics argue it could increase costs for U.S. industries that rely on steel, such as construction and automotive sectors. Global markets showed signs of volatility following the announcement, with some of America’s key trade partners expected to respond with retali...

🔔 Elon Musk Ends Government Role Under Trump.

[Source:The Times]

Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his temporary position in the U.S. government under Donald Trump's administration. He served for 130 days as the head of a newly formed agency called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).




🏛 What Did Musk Do in Government?


As DOGE’s chief, Musk aimed to cut government spending and increase efficiency. However, his actions were controversial:


He shut down agencies like USAID, NOAA, and Veterans Affairs, affecting disaster response, public health, and humanitarian aid.


He removed staff from the Health and Human Services Department.


He canceled PEPFAR, a major HIV/AIDS program.




⚠️ Backlash and Legal Issues


Many criticized Musk’s approach, saying it hurt essential services. Legal experts are now questioning if his power violated constitutional rules since he wasn’t confirmed by the Senate.



🔄 What’s Next?


Musk is now focusing again on his businesses—Tesla, SpaceX, and others. He may still act as an advisor to the DOGE program in the future.



This short period of Musk’s government work created major debates across the U.S. about how much control billionaires should have in public policy.

**Potential 1,000-Foot Tsunami Threat in the United States — Details** Recent scientific studies have highlighted the possibility of a massive "mega-tsunami" striking the western coastal regions of the United States, with waves potentially reaching heights of up to 1,000 feet. Such a tsunami could be catastrophic, completely devastating coastal cities. The tsunami is expected to be triggered by underwater earthquakes, which generate enormous waves across the ocean floor. These waves could lead to severe flooding and destruction in coastal areas. Predicting such mega-tsunamis remains extremely challenging due to the lack of clear early warning signs. Experts have urged the public to stay aware and prepared for such disasters. Coastal regions, in particular, are advised to strengthen emergency response systems, designate safe evacuation zones, and develop rapid relief operation plans. While modern technology and efficient communication systems could play a vital rol...
