President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order establishing the White House Task Force on the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The Task Force, chaired by the President and vice-chaired by the Vice President, will coordinate federal efforts to ensure the safety and security of the Games, including managing transportation, entry/exit processes, visa processing, and interagency cooperation with state and local partners.

The order outlines the task force's functions, membership, reporting structure and termination date, emphasizing a collaborative federal approach to support the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

President Trump issued an executive order increasing tariffs on certain Canadian products from 25% to 35%.

This action, justified by Canada's perceived inaction on combating the flow of illicit drugs across their shared border and its retaliatory measures, aims to pressure the Canadian government into enhanced cooperation.

The order also introduces additional penalties for transshipment to circumvent the tariffs, mandates ongoing monitoring of the situation, and outlines provisions for further action if needed.

President Donald J. Trump issued an order further modifying reciprocal tariff rates, adjusting duties on goods from various countries and territories.

The action builds upon Executive Order 14257, addressing the national security and economic threats stemming from large and persistent U.S. goods trade deficits.

The order modifies the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States(HTSUS), with adjustments based on progress in trade negotiations and security agreements with certain partners.

Specific tariff rates are provided in Annex I, with Annex II detailing further HTSUS modifications.

The order tasks multiple agencies with implementation, establishes penalties for transshipment to evade duties, and includes monitoring mechanisms to review the effectiveness of these actions and inform future presidential decisions.

This Presidential action suspends duty-free de minimis treatment for all countries, except for some international postal shipments initially.

The measure aims to address national security threats posed by drug trafficking from Canada, Mexico, and China, and also to counter large and persistent imbalances in the U.S. goods trade deficit globally.

This suspension is justified under the authority of multiple acts including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and it is intended to strengthen related tariffs and other actions addressing these issues while requiring a new duty collection system for international postal shipments.

President Trump issued a proclamation imposing a 50 percent tariff on semi-finished copper products and intensive copper derivatives imported into the United States.

This action, based on a Commerce Department report, addresses concerns about threats to national security stemming from excessive reliance on foreign copper sources and unfair trade practices.

The proclamation also outlines a process for expanding the tariff to additional copper derivatives and mandates domestic sales requirements for specific copper materials.

Future reviews of the copper market are planned to determine if additional tariffs on refined copper are necessary.

President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency citing actions by the Brazilian government as an unusual and extraordinary threat to US national security, foreign policy, and economy.

These actions include censorship of US citizens' speech, interference with US companies, and the political persecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

In response, the President imposed a 40% ad valorem duty on specific Brazilian products, with exceptions listed, to address the declared emergency.

The order details monitoring and reporting requirements and allows for modifications based on circumstances or retaliatory actions from Brazil.

President Donald J. Trump's 2025 proclamation designates July 20-26 as Captive Nations Week.

It commemorates the 1959 establishment of the week to counter communism and affirms continued American support for those living under oppressive regimes.

The proclamation reiterates the importance of religious freedom and self-governance, highlighting ongoing government efforts to promote these values internationally.

It concludes by calling upon all Americans to participate in activities supporting the cause of liberty and justice globally.

This executive order addresses the escalating financial pressures and legal challenges facing college sports.

It aims to preserve and expand opportunities in non-revenue sports, particularly women's sports, by placing restrictions on third-party payments to athletes while simultaneously clarifying the student-athlete status and providing legal protections for collegiate athletic programs.

The order directs several federal agencies to work together to implement these policies through regulatory, enforcement, and litigation approaches.
