Vietnam fast-tracks approval for Trump resort in mad dash to stave off tariffs: report
Story by Travis Gettys
U.S. trade partners are buying up more American goods and trying to curry favor with president Donald Trump in an effort to stave off sweeping tariffs.
The administration is negotiating with more than 70 trading partners, many of whom are trying to eliminate the trade imbalances Trump says the tariffs are meant to even out, but it’s not clear the spending spree – or other favors to him and his allies – will appease the president, who announced the reciprocal tariffs April 2 but agreed to pause them until July, reported the Wall Street Journal
. “Vietnam, which has a surplus of more than $120 billion with the U.S. and saw tariffs on its goods rise to 46% on Liberation Day, shows how anxious countries are to stave off the duties,” the Journal reported. "It recently closed a $300 million financing deal to buy a fleet of new Boeing jets. It pushed through the authorization of Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, a close Trump adviser. And it accelerated the approvals for a $1.5 billion Trump resort."

Trump claims we’re taking in billions in tariff revenue a day, even while reports were circulating of the payment system being broken resulting in CBP just waiving fees
CBP now say they have taken in only $500m in total

Judge issues deportation order to someone in part because they failed to appear at their hearing, despite the reason for the absence being that they have already been renditioned to El Salvador.

I get this is in line within the bounadries of how America acts regardless of which party is controlling the levers, but how does someone get to be credibly framed as the anti war president when doing shit like this?
