The early months of 2025 have witnessed a significant escalation in tensions between the United States and Canada, as well as between the Trump administration and the Education Policies. On May 6, 2025, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, marking their first official meeting. Carney firmly stated that Canada is not and will never be for sale, dismissing Trump's past references to Canada as the “51st state.” The meeting, described by both sides as constructive, addressed tensions stemming from U.S. tariffs and suggestions of annexation. Carney, who recently won the Canadian election promising to counter U.S. trade pressures, emphasized the need for a renewed bilateral economic and security relationship. Despite previous criticisms, both leaders praised each other publicly, and Trump welcomed continued friendship and protection for Canada. However, he remained unmoved on removing tariffs.

The second term of the President Donald Trump Administration has been marked by a series of significant policy decisions that have stirred national and international discourse. From trade negotiations and military policies to immigration reforms and educational funding, the administration's actions have prompted debates about constitutional authority, civil rights, and the balance of power within the U.S. government.

On May 4, 2025, aboard Air Force One, former President Donald J. Trump made headlines by revealing that Stephen Miller, his long-time senior advisor and architect of some of the administration's most controversial policies, is under serious consideration for the role of National Security Adviser (NSA). This announcement followed the dismissal of Rep. Mike Waltz from the position, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio stepping in temporarily. While Trump stressed no urgency in finalizing the appointment, the mere suggestion of Miller’s name has reignited fierce debates across the legal, academic, and policy communities.

The administration of foreign aid has long served as a reflection of America's political values, international strategy, and commitment to human rights. However, the impartiality of foreign aid distribution has come under scrutiny following revelations of politically motivated investigations during the Trump administration within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Central to the controversy is whether ideological biases influenced USAID grant allocations, raising constitutional concerns about freedom of speech, administrative neutrality, and statutory compliance.
