President Donald Trump declared that 'America is back' in his first speech to Congress, but recent headlines show a different reality. The country is divided over his policies, with Democrats and government employees attacking the Department of Government Efficiency and its leader Elon Musk. Tensions with Canada, Mexico, and China over tariffs are threatening global trade. The relationship with European allies is strained over the war in Ukraine. Despite these challenges, Trump praised Musk and his department's work, and there are signs of progress in resolving the disputes with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Trump's expansionist foreign policy also seems to be gaining traction, with a consortium set to buy shares in the Panama Canal. However, Greenland's Prime Minister made it clear that the country is not for sale. The Democrats, meanwhile, lack a clear strategy to oppose Trump's agenda.
