Criticism of the Trump law: Musk calls up to resistance

Many Germans do not trust the Chancellor to do much. The Foreign Minister also sees Merz before a difficult trip. All developments in the news blog.

The Tesla boss and former savings advisor from Trump, Elon Musk, once again knew against the U.S. government’s Great Tax Act. After his first loud criticism of the project that Trump calls “Great Nice Law”, Musk now followed his platform X. “Prevent the law,” he calls. The design has already passed the House of Representatives and is now at the Senate. Musk criticizes that with the issues planned in it, the United States becomes “debt slaves”. “Call your senators and MPs. To bankrupt America is not ok!” He criticizes that debt can grow to $ five trillion.

After an attack with fire rates on a Jewish demonstration in the US state of Colorado, the immigration authority ICE arrested the suspect’s family. The woman and the five children were in ICE custody in order to be accelerated, the White House announced on X on Tuesday evening (local time).

A federal judge, according to media reports, blocked this project of the US government on Wednesday (local time). “A deportation without a procedure could cause damage that cannot be resolved,” the “Washington Post” quoted the judge Gordon Gallagher. He has set a hearing in the case for next week.

According to an internal letter from the US State Department, the Trump government is considering a fee of $ 1,000 for tourists and other applicants who want to get an interview for a non-immigration visa faster. It would be a kind of premium service that would enable some people to move forward for visa interviews in the queue.

The program could start as a pilot project in December, as can be seen from the memo that the Reuters news agency could see. However, the document also states that in the opinion of lawyers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs there is a “high risk” that the plan could be rejected by the White House household office or tilted by US courts. The Foreign Ministry rejects a statement on the memo.

US President Donald Trump sees Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in the negotiations on the controversial Iranian nuclear program in a crucial question at his side. “I said President Putin that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, and I believe that we were agreed on this point,” Trump said after a more than one-hour phone call with Putin on the online platform Truth Social.

According to Trump, Putin indicated that he wanted to participate in the talks about the Iranian nuclear program and could possibly help to bring the matter to a quick conclusion. “I believe that Iran has delayed its decision on this very important matter, and we need a final answer in no time!” Said Trump.

Most recently, the Supreme Guide of Iran had strictly rejected the United States’ request for uranium enrichment. “The key to nuclear technology is uranium enrichment, and our enemies want to prevent this in order to undermine our independence and scientific potential,” said Ajatollah Ali Chameni on state television. However, this will not happen and the United States could not do anything in this regard because it does not concern them.

According to a representative survey, many citizens doubt his diplomatic skills before Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU )’s US trip. According to ARD Germany trend, almost half (47 percent) of the respondents are of the view that the new Federal Chancellor has too little diplomatic skill for foreign policy challenges. 40 percent trust him.

The expectations of visiting US President Donald Trump are a little more positive: 46 percent believe that CDU boss Merz will find a good level with Trump-44 percent, on the other hand, do not trust him. Merz wants to meet Trump in the White House in Washington on Thursday.
