President Donald Trump signed a number of executive orders on 2/10, covering government personnel appointments, trade policies, diplomatic relations, and environmental measures. He also emphasized the need to strengthen the competitiveness of American businesses, promote 'fair trade,' and review some regulations that he believes hinder economic development. Additionally, he took a tough stance on the hostage situation in the Middle East, demanding that Hamas release all hostages within a deadline, or face hellish retaliation.

The US government personnel reorganization, refuses to waste and promotes fair trade.

On 2/10, Trump signed several executive orders related to personnel appointments, including 56 sub-cabinet officials, including 7 new ambassadors. He also designated former Congressman Doug Collins as the government's special legal advisor and director of the government ethics office.

In addition, Trump also abolished the official training program established during the Lyndon Baines Johnson administration, believing that the program was a waste of public funds and did not effectively improve government efficiency. He emphasized the need to cut some useless programs to make taxpayers' money more worthwhile.

Adjusting the 'Overseas Anti-Corruption Act' also brings back plastic straws

One of the executive orders signed by Trump requires the Department of Justice to reinterpret the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FCPA(. He believes that the regulation puts American companies at a disadvantage in overseas competition, and even leads to many foreign companies being unwilling to cooperate with American companies, as every call to American companies may be investigated by the FBI.

Trump criticized, "This sounds quite reasonable, but in fact it is a disaster, making American companies unable to compete with China, Russia, and other countries. We must change this situation so that American companies can do business smoothly worldwide."

Trump also signed an executive order requiring government agencies to review the ban on plastic straws. He criticized paper straws for being prone to softening and bursting, making them unusable. He emphasized, "We need to go back to plastic straws, these paper straws are not only difficult to use but also waste a lot of money."

Significantly increasing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, calling for American-made products to make America great again.

Trump also announced the resumption of a 25% import tariff on steel and raised the aluminum tariff from 10% to 25%. He stated that the original tariff policy created 120,000 job opportunities in the American steel industry during his first term, but later, due to various 'exemptions,' 107,000 job opportunities were lost. Therefore, he decided to cancel all exemptions, fully restore high tariffs, and ensure the revival of the American steel industry. 'The only way to avoid tariffs is to produce in the United States!' he emphasized.

Middle East hostage crisis, Trump warns: No release, bad luck

Regarding the issue of Hamas )Hamas( detaining hostages, Trump takes a tough stance and demands that Hamas release all hostages before noon on 2/15. Otherwise, he cannot guarantee what will happen and hints at the possibility of intense military action. He personally considers Saturday noon as the deadline. If the hostages do not return, Trump will impose strong sanctions.

He also mentioned that the recently released hostages were malnourished and physically and mentally traumatized, looking like survivors of World War II concentration camps, and criticized Hamas's cruelty.

Placement plan for the Palestinians

Trump revealed that the United States is discussing with multiple Arab countries to provide land for the resettlement of Gaza residents. He believes that many Palestinians actually want to leave Gaza, but they don't have a choice. He said, 'If we can provide a secure place to live, they will definitely be willing to relocate.'

When asked about countries like Jordan and Egypt refusing to accept refugees, Trump said bluntly, 'If they don't accept, we can consider freezing aid to them.'

Trump's policies are fully restored, emphasizing 'America First'

Trump's recent executive orders and policy directions indicate that he is returning to the 'America First' approach, hoping to reduce government intervention, promote the competitiveness of American businesses, and take a tougher stance on international affairs in terms of economy, diplomacy, and environmental protection. His latest actions will undoubtedly attract international attention and may also affect the future global strategic layout of the United States.
