President Donald Trump signed a proclamation that bans nationals from a dozen countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti and the Republic of Congo, from entering the United States, framing the travel ban as necessary to fortify national security and building upon one of the most contentious policies of his first term. Trump banned nationals from 12 countries from entering the United States: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. An additional seven countries came under partial travel restrictions, in which entrance into the country under several visa programs was suspended but an outright ban was not implemented: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. #travel #breakingnews #trump #politics

Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a major benefactor to President Donald Trump in last year's election, said Tuesday that he will do "a lot less" political spending moving forward. Speaking with Bloomberg at the Qatar Economic Forum, Musk, who spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars on a super PAC set up last year to primarily help Trump, sounded ambivalent about making such commitments in the cycles to come. "I think in terms of political spending, I'm going to do a lot less in the future," Musk said, adding, "I think I've done enough." #MSNBC #news #politics #Musk #DOGE

President Trump breaks his silence on former DOGE advisor Elon Musk’s outspoken opposition to the Trump-backed GOP spending bill. Earlier this week, Musk posted on X calling the bill “pork-filled” and an “abomination.” Before today, the president has stayed silent on Musk’s opinions of the bill, but today expressed his disappointment saying, “People leave my administration and they love us... And some of them actually become hostile. I don’t know what it is. It’s sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.” #trump #elon #doge #whitehouse #government #news #politics

The White House responded saying “This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted." #donaldtrump #elonmusk #doge #fued #politics #news
