| Trump's First 100 Days: Reshaping American Foreign Policy |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Only 100 days into his second term as president, Donald Trump has already left his mark on U.S. foreign policy. No aspect of foreign policy has gone untouched, from foreign aid to trade, from nuclear weapons to repatriation, from Europe to Asia to Latin America.

| Dems Urged to 'Slow Down' Support for Deported Man Accused of Being MS-13 Affiliate |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| An attempt to oppose President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda has resulted in Democratic Party infighting, according to several reports.

The xxxxxx recently reported that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has been quietly urging his congressional colleagues to back away from the issue and stop visiting El Salvador, where Garcia is incarcerated. "They want to let the El Salvador stuff slow down," a senior House staffer was quoted as saying. |
