What are President Trump's key strategies for reforming government operations and international trade relationships?
President Trump is implementing a comprehensive government overhaul by confirming 16 cabinet nominees and removing deep state bureaucrats from federal departments. His strategy focuses on taking direct control of the executive branch and dismantling bloated federal agencies to prioritize American interests. On international trade, Trump plans to implement reciprocal tariffs to address unfair taxation by Canada, the EU, and India. This approach aims to create tax fairness by either matching their tariff rates on American goods or pressuring these nations to eliminate their existing tariffs, while also pursuing peace negotiations in Europe.

What is Trump's perspective on Russia's exclusion from the G8 and how does he believe it relates to the Ukraine conflict?
Trump argues that Russia's exclusion from the G8 (making it the G7) was a strategic mistake made by Obama and others. He believes that keeping Russia at the negotiating table could have prevented the Ukraine conflict entirely, suggesting that diplomatic engagement rather than isolation might have been more effective. Trump also emphasizes his past discussions with Putin about denuclearization, viewing collaborative approaches to reducing nuclear weapons as preferable to continued arms buildup. He maintains that under his presidency, Russia would never have attacked Ukraine, positioning himself as someone who could have managed U.S.-Russia relations more effectively through direct engagement rather than exclusionary policies.
