Trump postpones the duties for Europe to 9 July

Donald Trump, who in four months has transformed the leaders of the US administration, filled with faithful, completes the takeover of foreign policy dismantling much of the Council for National Security (NSC) of the White House with another burst of periods and alongside two managers of his confidence in the Foreign Minister Marco Rubio who had received the interim after the removal, four weeks ago, of Mike Waltz.

« Guardian angels » for Marco Rubio also in his ministry: Trump has already appointed in key roles of the State Department, reserved for expert diplomats so far, 11 young officials and with little experience but from Benjamin Franklin Fellowship. A network of diplomats that defines itself as apolitical but that carries on an agenda with objectives coinciding with those of Trump.

On the duties front, last night the president of the EU commission, Ursula von der Leyen, had a « good phone call » with Trump, as she wrote on X: « Europe is ready to make the talks advance quickly and decision. To reach a good agreement we would need time until 9 July «  (expiry of the truce on mutual duties). Proposal accepted by the American president: « I agreed to extend the end of the EU duties. »

Trump repeats that the new rates will return factories and employed at home e promises « a new golden age », Elon Musk, who does not share duties policy And who has long reduced his commitment to Washington after the growing contrasts with several ministers, seems to come to total disengagement from the government activity: « I will dedicate myself seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to the serious problems of the social network X, in XAI, the Tesla, as well as the imminent launch of the space starship of Spacex».

The entrepreneur explains the turning point not with the disappointing government experience but with the need to run for cover in the its companies that have very serious problems. Tesla of Tesla have been known for some time. After the disservices recorded by X last week, Musk admits with unusual frankness: « Back up systems had to enter but they have not worked: there are serious operational problems that I have to face ».

Meanwhile, as mentioned, the NSC is emptied, the structure that monitors the world chessers on behalf of the president. Everything started two months ago when Trump fired six managers accused of unfairly by Laura Loomer, a Trumpian influencer supporter of reckless conspiracy theories that enjoys the President’s favors. He then saved the head of the Council, Mike Waltz, but then liquidated him a few weeks later. Now it’s up to a large number of exponents of his team, starting with his deputy, Alex Wong. Some « resigned », others intended for different assignments. All informed on Friday at 16.30 not to be part of the NSC and forced to leave their office within 30 minutes.
