President Trump's Tariff Pause Turns Trade Upside Down

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a flat 10% tariff on imports entering the United States, which will remain in effect for at least 90 days. The administration reports that over 75 countries have expressed interest in initiating trade talks. However, China is the exception; products imported from China are now subject to a 145% tariff. Karl Rove, a FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to George W. Bush, joins to discuss these tariffs, the concerns some individuals have about their impact, and the administration's efforts to appeal to working-class voters.

First Lady Melania Trump recently took part in a roundtable event at the Capitol to support the ‘Take It Down Act’. This legislation aims to prohibit the intentional publication of sexually exploitative images, including AI-generated deepfakes. An increasing number of states are implementing their own laws to tackle this growing problem. Hayley McNamara, Senior Vice President at the nonprofit National Center on Sexual Exploitation, joins to explain the ‘Take It Down Act’ and emphasize how easily individuals can become targets of such exploitation.

Plus, commentary from senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and Former Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tevi Troy.
