Trump made some significant decisions recently. He set up a new council focused on making the US a major player in the energy world. This move is all about boosting domestic energy production. He even mentioned a big pipeline project to bring more fuel to New York and New England. This isn't just about energy. It's also about jobs and economic growth. Trump believes that by increasing energy production, he can lower prices and create more opportunities for Americans.

The other big news is about vaccines. Trump signed an order that stops federal funding for schools and universities that require students to get COVID-19 vaccines. This comes at a time when the US has been dealing with the coronavirus for over five years. The pandemic has caused a lot of chaos in our lives, from economic struggles to changes in how we educate our kids.

Vaccines were developed quickly during Trump's first term, but there's been a lot of debate about mandates. Some people support them, while others think they should be optional. The new order is a big deal because it affects how schools operate and how they get their money.

Right now, 21 states have banned vaccine mandates in schools. This includes states led by both Republicans and Democrats. The impact of Trump's order is still unclear. It's hard to say exactly how much money will be affected or how many schools will be impacted. Federal funding for schools has always been a way for the government to influence education policies, even though education is mostly managed at the local level.

Trump has been working on cutting federal spending. He's got a plan to save up to $1 trillion a year by reducing staff and grants in various departments. Some of the early targets include USAID, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Education Department. Trump's goal is to eventually eliminate these departments.
