Trump had surprisingly announced new tariffs last week: from October 1st, imports of branded medicines and patented medication to the United States should be raised 100 percent. Pharmaceutical manufacturers who build a production facility in the United States could handle customs. He left details open.
Politically, it was rather quiet about Elon Musk. That doesn’t seem to hurt his assets. It exceeded a historical brand on Wednesday. Read the whole article here.
US President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in four weeks. A important topic there would be soybeans, Trump wrote on Wednesday on his Truth Social platform. The soy farmers of the United States would be damaged just because China currently does not buy soybeans in the United States for reasons of negotiations.
Chinese importers have not yet bought soybeans from the US autumn harvest during the trade conflict between the United States and China, which has a drop in farmers there. The US farmers who belong to Trump’s nuclear electorate therefore grows. Trump announced that it also financially supported the farmers with money that the US state takes through tariffs-including by imports from China.
China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans and recently stocked up in South America. In September, Trump said that at his next meeting with XI it would be about trade, illegal drugs and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The efforts in the US Senate have failed again in the struggle for setting up a transitional budget. Necessary preliminary votes in order to be able to begin the consultations at all, failed the required majority – initially for a draft law of the Democrats, then for one of the Republicans. There is currently no prospect of an end to the shutdown in the USA – the government transactions are still still still.
On Tuesday, the budget negotiations had remained without agreement before the deadline at midnight (local time). As a result, the so -called shutdown came into force on Wednesday night. This means that the authorities at the federal level have to put their work on ice to a large extent and can only do essential tasks. The Democrats and President Donald Trump’s Republicans blame each other to have triggered the partial standstill of government transactions.
The United States’ Supreme Court stopped the dismissal of Central Bank head Lisa Cook, ordered by President Donald Trump. The Supreme Court temporarily agreed on Wednesday in an urgent application and stated that she could remain in office until a hearing in January. Trump wants to put the Fed on line and had found Cook’s throw out in August with alleged false information in real estate loans.

Trump has been going on a campaign against the US Federal Reserve and its boss Jerome Powell since taking office in January. The US President penetrates radical interest rate cuts to boost the US economy. Most recently, Trump had appointed his former economic advisor Stephen Miran to the Fed Governor Council.
Powell’s term of office, which Trump had used during his first term, expires in the coming year.
After the start of a partial standstill of the work of government agencies in the United States, the Senate comes together again. The round should be negotiated via a transitional budget. Because Republicans and Democrats could not agree, a budget lock came into force on Wednesday night, experts speak of shutdown.

According to US Vice President JD Vance, the standstill could have an impact on air traffic in the USA on the first day. “If you fly today, I hope that you will arrive safely and on time, but you may not arrive on time,” the Republican told the TV station Fox News. The military is also not paid. Democrats and Republicans each blame each other for the failure of a transitional budget.
How long the shutdown lasts depends on an agreement on both sides. Due to the standstill, the government initially no longer has any funds available for further financing. There is a payment stop at the federal expenditure in the US administration, so the continued operation of many authorities and offices is at stake. The shutdown is excluded as system -related authorities. The longer this lasts, the more he not only meets the government staff, but also the US population, which is unpaid unpaid-which, for example, can no longer use numerous public services.
Democrats and Republicans could not agree on a transitional budget. The United States is now facing a shutdown that has financial and social effects.
The United States has moved several P-8 Poseidon aircraft into the Baltic Sea area. The aircraft are used to track down submarines and, if necessary, destroy. Data from the “FLIGHTRADAR24” website, which indicates flight routes, show how one of the planes pulls circles over the Baltic Sea in front of the Russian enclave Kaliningrad. The aircraft at Oslo Airport are stationed.
The Bundeswehr uses a machine of the type P-3C Orion from the 1960s to detect submarines, which is now being retired. As the successor to the P-3C Orion, the Bundeswehr ordered eight P-8 Poseidon in the United States. The training of the German teams has already started at the US Navy in Florida. The American P-8 was relocated after there were injuries to the airspace in several Baltic Sea states.
Ten days before the announcement of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, US President Donald Trump once again claimed the award. Anything else would be “an insult” for the United States, Trump said on Tuesday in front of US military representatives at the Quantico base south of Washington. However, he did not want the award for himself, he added. Rather, the United States should get the Nobel Prize.
Trump said he was always asked if he would receive the Nobel Prize for his merits. “Absolutely not,” he replies. “You will give him some guys who did nothing damn,” complained the Republican. This year the price may go to a writer who “wrote a book about Donald Trump’s way of thinking and what was necessary to end the wars”.
- Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: They dance around on his nose
Trump repeatedly claims that he had ended seven wars since he took office again in January. Among other things, he calls the conflicts between India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia as well as between Serbia and Kosovo. Trump had been proposed several times for the Nobel Peace Prize in recent years. Among other things, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the Nobel Prize Committee in Oslo to give the US President the award. He justified this with Trump’s efforts to end the Gaza War.
US President Donald Trump has attuned the military tip of a “war” in the United States. The United States is in a “war from the inside”, Trump said on Tuesday in front of leading representatives of the armed forces at the military base Quantico south of Washington. He accused “of radical left -wing democrats” of having given up cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles uncontrolled crime and immigration.

The military must fight the “enemy inside”, Trump continued. He referred to a recently signed decree to set up a “quick operational force that can knock down civil riots”. The US government must intervene before the situation gets out of control.
Trump has already used the military in US cities such as Los Angeles or Washington, which are ruled by the Democratic Party. The President recently ordered the national guard in Portland in the northwest of the United States. He justifies this with protests against the immigration police ICE. The city and the US state of Oregon defend themselves legally against the operation.

After a dispute with Dmitri Medvedev, Donald Trump announced that it would move nuclear submarines to Russia. There they are now “lurking” off the coast, according to the Republican. He also insults Russia’s ex-president. Read the whole article here.
US President Donald Trump gives the Islamist Hamas “about three or four days” to react to his peace plan. He said that on a question about journalists in Washington. All Arab and Muslim countries would have agreed – just like Israel. You just wait for Hamas. “And Hamas will either agree or not, and if it does not agree, it will take a very sad end.”
Trump’s plan stipulates that the Israeli army gradually withdraws from the Gaza Strip. The area is to be ruled by a transitional government of Palestinian Technocrats under the supervision of an international body. From the Hamas circles it was said that the terrorist organization had received the proposal from the Qatar and Egyptian intermediaries. Accordingly, the Islamists want to “carefully check the plan” before they give an official answer.
