What has Trump been busy with in the past 24 hours?
1. Trump insists that Iran must stop all uranium enrichment - US President Trump stated that he will continue to demand Iran completely abandon its uranium enrichment program. Trump wrote, "According to the agreement we may reach - we will not allow any uranium enrichment!" This seems to contradict the previous statement by the US Middle East envoy. Media reported earlier that Trump's Middle East envoy, Witkoff, proposed last Saturday that if Iran agreed to temporarily shut down its underground uranium processing facilities, they would be allowed to retain low-level uranium enrichment activities for civilian purposes.
2. Trump: United States replenishing weapons reserves at unprecedented speed - Trump: "Just had a great meeting with our military leaders. This is the strongest military we've ever had, including the unprecedented speed at which we're replenishing weapons. However, we hope we never have to use them." Last year, the Pentagon admitted that military support for Ukraine exposed a series of problems in the US military-industrial complex, including difficulties in maintaining, rebuilding, and increasing US military weapon reserves, threatening Washington's own military readiness.
3. Forcing countries to show their cards: the "best offer" proposed before Wednesday - According to a letter seen by Reuters, the Trump administration hopes that countries involved in high-level tariff negotiations will make their "best offer" on trade talks before Wednesday. The letter stated that the US hopes countries will outline their best proposals in several key areas, including preferential tariffs and quotas on the purchase of industrial and agricultural products, as well as non-tariff barrier plans. The letter also stated that the US will evaluate responses from all parties in the coming days and propose a "range of possible solutions," which may include equivalent tariff rates. It is reported that the US is currently engaged in active negotiations with countries and regions such as the European Union, Japan, Vietnam, and India.
4. Consultation with multiple Republican lawmakers to push for "Beautiful Law" before July 4 - Trump's heavily pushed "Beautiful Law" passed the House of Representatives with a slim majority, with the Senate becoming the key to determining its fate. The most controversial aspect is a provision to increase the debt ceiling from $4 trillion to $5 trillion, which has become a focus of attention within the Republican Party. US President Donald Trump spoke with multiple Republican senators on Monday, including senators who expressed concerns about his domestic policy bills. Trump said, "I call on all our Republican friends in both houses to work quickly and get the 'Beautiful Law' on my desk before July 4."
5. Planning to repeal Biden's old policy and open up Alaska for oil drilling - The Trump administration is moving to repeal most of the oil drilling restrictions in the vast oil reserves in Alaska that were put in place during the Biden era. The area is estimated to contain 8.7 billion barrels of recoverable crude oil. The US Energy Secretary expects that oil development in Alaska will accelerate, with production on the North Slope possibly quadrupling. Environmentalists argue that the regulation by the Biden administration is crucial for protecting the pristine wilderness of the Arctic. This area includes vast tundra and wetlands, and is home to abundant wildlife.
