US President Donald Trump held his first cabinet meeting, discussing major policy shifts, budget cuts, and international relations. The session included Elon Musk, who wore a “tech support” T-shirt.

Trump praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Musk for their work in government efficiency. He backed Musk’s initiative, Doge, which focuses on reducing federal spending and workforce size. Federal employees were warned to justify their roles, with plans for significant staff reductions by March.

A memo later instructed agencies to cut non-essential staff and limit hiring. The Environmental Protection Agency could see a 65% reduction. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to visit the White House for a minerals deal, with Trump stating the US will recoup financial aid given to Ukraine. However, he ruled out security guarantees, urging Europe to take responsibility.

On trade, Trump announced a 25% tariff on EU goods, particularly targeting cars and agriculture. Tariffs on Canada and Mexico are set to begin on April 2, following a temporary delay.
