Trump's Bold Moves: Executive Orders, Pardons, and Global Shifts

In todays update, we cover President Trump's significant actions during his first days in office, including the signing of 26 executive orders, which repeal previous Biden-era policies and focus on border enforcement, climate changes, and DEI programs.

Trump's controversial pardons make headlines as he grants clemency to 1,500 defendants from the January 6 Capitol attack, as well as Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road. We also delve into his executive order to declassify files surrounding high-profile assassinations, including those of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.

We also explore the pros and cons of the US potentially joining BRICS, weighing new trade relationships and market access against the risks of diminished dollar dominance and geopolitical tension.
