Eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Medicaid
President Trump issued a memorandum to address what he claims is excessive and wasteful spending in the Medicaid program.
The memorandum directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to take action to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse within Medicaid and to align Medicaid payment rates with those of Medicare—a move the president characterizes as necessary to protect the financial stability of both programs and ensure access to care for seniors and vulnerable groups.
The President contends that the Biden administration enabled states to circumvent cost controls resulting in unsustainable spending.
National Ocean Month, 2025
President Trump's 2025 proclamation designates June as National Ocean Month, emphasizing the significance of oceans to American security, the economy, and national identity.
The proclamation highlights actions taken to bolster the nation's maritime dominance, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico, revitalizing offshore critical mineral extraction, boosting domestic seafood production, and opening the Pacific Remote Islands National Monument to commercial fishing.
The President asserts these policies foster American prosperity and protect national interests.
Enhancing National Security by Addressing Risks at Harvard University
President Trump issued a proclamation suspending the entry of foreign nationals seeking to attend Harvard University under student or exchange visitor programs.
The action cites concerns over Harvard's alleged failure to cooperate with federal investigations into national security risks and alleged misconduct among foreign students, insufficient discipline of student conduct violations, and extensive ties to foreign governments, including adversaries.
It also alleges discrimination against American students and faculty.
The president asserts that these actions are necessary to protect national security and uphold the rule of law.
The proclamation sets forth specific procedures including a 90-day review to determine whether to extend the suspension.
Reviewing Certain Presidential Actions
President Trump issued a memorandum ordering an investigation into whether former President Biden's aides misused the power of presidential signatures to conceal his alleged cognitive decline. The investigation will examine whether aides conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and whether the use of an autopen to sign numerous executive actions, including clemency grants and executive orders, was unconstitutional.
The Counsel to the President will lead the investigation, working with the Attorney General and other relevant agencies.
The memorandum emphasizes that it does not create any legally enforceable rights.
Restricting The Entry of Foreign Nationals to Protect the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats
President Trump issued a proclamation restricting entry to the United States for nationals from 19 countries.
The restrictions, effective June 9, 2025, are based on concerns about national security and public safety due to deficient vetting procedures, high visa overstay rates, and lack of cooperation from those countries.
The proclamation distinguishes between full and partial suspensions, creates exceptions for certain visa categories and individuals, and establishes a review process to reassess the restrictions every 180 days.
Adjusting Imports of Aluminum and Steel into the United States
President Trump's June 3, 2025, proclamation increases tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50% to protect national security and support domestic industries.
These adjustments build upon previous proclamations and actions targeting imports deemed detrimental to the country's security.
The proclamation modifies existing tariff measures and considers special treatment for imports from the United Kingdom under the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, while emphasizing enforcement and penalties for under-reporting declarations for steel and aluminum content in imported goods.
