What has Trump done in first week?

The world hasn't been disrupted since the arrival of Donald Trump back in the White House. But there have certainly been some fairly dramatic changes inside the US which will have repercussions in other parts of the globe. The beginning of mass deportations of undocumented migrants means countries such as Mexico, Colombia and elsewhere in Latin America are going to be receiving a whole lot of air shipments of people over the next few months. Colombia tried to stamped its foot by refusing to take the first planeloads. But when Trump stamped 25 per cent tariffs on all goods imported into the US, Colombia quickly caved in. So, first victory to Trump. Trump has repeated his wish to have Greenland for the US, but somehow I doubt he'll be sending in the Marines. One surprising development came from the CIA, now under new management, with a very conservative director, John Ratcliffe. Within days of his takeover at Langley, the CIA reversed its conclusion about the sourve of the Covid-19 virus. The agency's position under Joe Biden was that there was no conclusive evidence that the virus had leaked from a Chinese laboratory which kept everyone happy, especially Beijing. Then out goes Biden, in comes Trump, and, oops, the conclusion has been somewhat altered. Now the CIA believes that it's likely the virus DID leak from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan. There must have been a very interesting conversation in the CIA director's office before the revised statement was put out. The biggest disruption has come with the mighty federal workforce, with people being sacked or moved on for being considered unloyal to Trump, and whole departments, such as the independent government inspector-general watchdogs, being scrapped. With the confirmation of Pete Hegseth as defence secretary, huge changes are expected at the Pentagon. As for the war in Ukraine, Trump is girding himself up for a no-holding-back session with Vladimir Putin. It could make a big difference vis a vis relations between Moscow and Washington or, as with Trump's aborted charm offensive way back with North Korean leader Jim Jong un, it could all come to nothing.
