Trump Slashes USAID Workforce Before Midnight, 1,600 Jobs Cut Amid Foreign Aid Pause | Details

The Trump administration is cutting 1,600 positions at USAID, placing most remaining staff on administrative leave. Fewer than 300 employees will stay to oversee select life-saving programs. The cuts follow a 90-day foreign aid freeze and scrutiny over alleged wasteful spending. A judge lifted a temporary restraining order on the layoffs, allowing the reductions to proceed just before midnight on February 23, 2025. #Trump #USAID #ForeignAid #JobCuts #HumanitarianCrisis #GovernmentShutdown #GlobalImpact #USPolitics #BreakingNews #AidCuts #FederalLayoffs #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #BudgetCuts #EconomicPolicy #HumanitarianAid #USAIDLayoffs #GovernmentEfficiency #ForeignPolicy #PoliticalNews Also Read Who Is Kash Patel’s Girlfriend?

The White House denied an Associated Press reporter access to a key event after AP refused to adopt Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." The barring comes amid broader tensions between the Trump administration and media organizations, with federal funding for press subscriptions now under scrutiny.

Angry Mexico to Sue Google Over Renaming of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to ‘Gulf of America’ Post Trump’s Order [Video]

Angry Mexico to Sue Google Over Renaming of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to ‘Gulf of America’ Post Trump’s Order

Mexico to Sue Google. In a recent development, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed strong opposition to Google's decision to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America" on its Maps platform for U.S. users. This change aligns with an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump, which also included reverting Denali's name back to Mount McKinley. President Sheinbaum criticized the renaming, emphasizing that the "Gulf of Mexico" has long been internationally recognized. She highlighted that under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a country's sovereignty extends only up to 12 nautical miles from its coastline, implying that the U.S. cannot unilaterally rename the entire Gulf. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico might file a civil suit if Google does not revert to the original name, noting that legal preparations are underway #MexicoVsGoogle #GulfOfMexico #GoogleMapsControversy #MexicoSuesGoogle #GulfOfAmerica #TrumpExecutiveOrder #GoogleLawsuit #MexicoGoogleConflict #GoogleRenamingScandal #SheinbaumVsGoogle #USMexicoTensions #GeopoliticalDispute #GoogleMapsRename #MexicoDefendsSovereignty #DigitalCartography Also Read Here's Why Donald Trump Imposed Tariffs On Canada, Mexico, China As Trade War Escalates :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heres-why-donald-trump-imposed-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-as-trade-war-escalates-4060153.html?ref=DMDesc Mexico Hits Back At US Tariffs: President Sheinbaum Rejects ‘White House Slander’, Imposes Retaliatory Measure :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mexico-hits-back-at-us-tariffs-president-sheinbaum-rejects-white-house-slander-imposes-retaliato-4060065.html?ref=DMDesc Mexico and European Union Revamp Trade Agreement Ahead of Trump's Inauguration to Counter Tariff Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mexico-eu-revamp-trade-agreement-before-trump-inauguration-011-4045545.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.194~PR.152~GR.124~

'Surprise to Mexico': Trump Renames Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' mid-flight on Air Force One

In a historic and controversial move, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation aboard Air Force One, officially renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." The signing took place mid-flight as Air Force One crossed over the newly renamed waters. Trump also declared February 9 as "Gulf of America Day," urging Americans to recognize the gulf’s significance in U.S. history. While the name change applies to federal references, other nations are not required to acknowledge it.
