#WashingtonDC, #USA
A prime-time White House address failed to reassure a public worried about the economy and announced a one-time $1,776 "warrior dividend" for about 1.45 million service members, following Donald Trump’s politically charged speech that pushed a tariff-centered funding pitch.Fact-checkers flagged multiple claims as false or misleading, and officials acknowledge the bonus and tariff plan face legal and budgetary hurdles — including congressional appropriations and a pending Supreme Court review — even as the administration tightened visa rules, seized a tanker off Venezuela and proposed a more than $10 billion arms sale to Taiwan that drew an angry response from China.The address offered few new policy details beyond broad housing reforms, coincided with personnel shifts at the CDC and FBI and a withdrawal by Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners from a financing bid, and left critics saying spectacle and nationalism replaced specifics as polls showed persistent economic worry and low approval for Trump.
