Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum says country will respond Sunday; commerce secretary defends Trump tariffs while acknowledging price increases

• US consumers warned to brace for higher prices
• China and Canada retaliate against Trump tariffs

Donald Trump has threatened to cut off funding to universities that allow “illegal protests”, and expel or deport students involved.

Writing on Truth Social, the president said:

All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is absurdly dishonest.

I don’t even mention the UK or France in the clip, both of whom have fought bravely alongside the US over the last 20 years, and beyond.

But let’s be direct: there are many countries who are volunteering (privately or publicly) support who have neither the battlefield experience nor the military equipment to do anything meaningful.
