Regarding the Proposed Acquisition of the United States Steel Corporation by Nippon Steel Corporation

President Trump issued an order regarding the proposed acquisition of United States Steel Corporation by Nippon Steel Corporation, citing authority vested in him by the Constitution and the Defense Production Act of 1950. The order references a prior order by then-President Biden on January 3, 2025, which prohibited the transaction.

The President affirmed findings that the Purchasers "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States" and that other laws are inadequate to protect national security in this matter. However, he finds that this impairment can be mitigated if the conditions in Section 3 of the order are met. Section 2(a) of the January 3 Order is amended to prohibit the transaction unless Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel execute and comply with a national security agreement (NSA) with the Department of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury is directed to transmit a copy of the order to the parties involved.

It recounts the events leading to the Army's formation, from the battles of Lexington and Concord to the Continental Congress's resolution to establish the Continental Army.

Trump states his administration is ensuring the Army's legacy by purging the "sinister ideology of 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion'" and reinstating service members dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine.

What They Are Saying: President Trump Stops Radical Environmentalism to Generate Power for the Columbia River Basin

President Trump revoked the Biden Administration’s “Restoring Healthy and Abundant Salmon, Steelhead, and Other Native Fish Populations in the Columbia River Basin” Memorandum, which the administration claims "would have eliminated secure and reliable energy sources." Officials such as Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum stated, "Now is not the time to shut down American energy. Instead, we’re keeping the lights on, costs low, and putting the American people first."

Various Senators, Representatives, and industry leaders also voiced support. Senator Crapo stated the "flawed initiative ignored congressional authority over the dams." Senator Daines said Biden's memorandum was an "attempt to breach the dams and appease radical environmentalist groups." Industry leaders from the National Grain and Feed Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association also praised the decision for preserving affordable energy and critical infrastructure for transporting goods.

Presidential Message on National Men’s Health Week, 2025

The article discusses the health and well-being of men in the United States, stating that men have a life expectancy five years shorter than women, visit healthcare providers less frequently, and tend to have heart attacks earlier. The author asserts that a "vicious campaign against masculinity" has contributed to "loneliness, confusion, and emptiness," leading to higher suicide and overdose rates among men.

The author pledges to "honor the men in America" and "never waver in our promise to embolden you to lead long, healthy, and safe lives." They mention signing an Executive Order to lower medication prices and improving access to quality medical care, and refer to the "Make America Healthy Again Commission" to empower men to prioritize their health. The author promises to "always lift you up rather than tear you down" and champion the voices and wellness of American men.
