President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of his second term, addressing major policies on government overhaul, Ukraine, immigration, and tariffs. Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), clarified his federal worker "pulse check" emails, while Trump hinted at mass layoffs and warned non-responders were “on the bubble.” Trump also unveiled his "gold card" visa plan, confirmed an upcoming Ukraine deal, and announced 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports. He remained non-committal on Taiwan, saying he “never comments” on such matters.
