US President Donald Trump concluded his week with a triumphant tone, celebrating a series of significant political victories both at home and abroad. The key accomplishments include:
A successful US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, which led to a “complete and total” ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Nato’s commitment to 5% defence spending, exceeding Trump’s long-standing call for increased military investment.
The Supreme Court’s ruling limiting judges’ power to block his orders nationwide, allowing him to pursue several policy items that had been thwarted by injunctions.
A peace deal in Africa, signed by the foreign ministers of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, aimed at ending decades of fighting between the two nations.
However, despite these wins, Trump’s biggest legislative priority – a massive tax bill – has hit roadblocks, with Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough citing violations of Senate rules. The president remains adamant about seeing the bill on his desk by 4 July Independence Day.
