President Donald Trump’s latest remarks on Gaza have sparked international backlash, with leaders from the Middle East and Europe condemning his assertion that the U.S. “will take over” the war-torn region. The White House press secretary attempted to clarify Wednesday, claiming Trump was advocating a “temporary” resettlement of Palestinians—seemingly contradicting his earlier proposal to relocate them permanently.
Meanwhile, newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi is expected to launch a review of cases against Trump. This comes as tensions rise within the Department of Justice, with a senior official accusing FBI leadership of “insubordination” over its handling of January 6 investigations. Additionally, the Trump administration has announced that at least 40,000 federal employees have agreed to resign as part of a sweeping workforce reduction, with layoffs looming for those who do not.
Trump also signed an executive order Wednesday banning transgender women from participating in women’s sports, escalating his administration’s efforts to restrict transgender rights. The move is expected to face immediate legal challenges, adding to an already contentious policy record.
With international condemnation growing and domestic policy changes stirring controversy, Trump’s latest actions signal a turbulent period ahead.
