Here is a summary of the key activities undertaken by former US President Donald Trump over the last 24-hour period.

Pressuring GOP on Budget Vote

Trump has called for all House Republicans to vote in favor of a budget resolution this week, describing it as a crucial first step towards passing a budget. He urged House Republicans to unite and fight for the "Save America Act."

Hinting at Strong Retaliation Against Iran

In a social media post on the 20th, Trump hinted that the US military would launch a strong retaliatory action against Iran following recent American casualties. He threatened that "for every American soldier Iran kills, they will pay many times over."

Adjusting US Aluminum Import Policy

The White House announced that Trump has taken further steps to adjust US aluminum import policy. He signed a proclamation authorizing the Commerce Secretary to develop incentive programs to encourage corporate investment in aluminum smelters.

Ordering Defense Supply Chain Review

A senior US administration official stated that American defense contractors will be required to scrutinize critical supply chains to identify sources from adversary nations. This review will cover the entire production chain from raw materials to final products delivered to the military, with a particular focus on lower-tier supply chain links.

Guaranteeing Netanyahu's Immunity During US Visit

Trump stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "will not be arrested in any way" during his visit to the United States. This statement responds to previous remarks by New York City's mayor about potential arrest measures against Netanyahu.

Criticizing Canadian Tariff Measures

Trump criticized Canada for imposing specific tariffs and quota restrictions on cars imported from the US, while not applying similar measures to other countries.

Holding Talks with New UK Prime Minister

Trump reported having a "very good conversation" with the new UK Prime Minister. They discussed North Sea oil, trade, the military alliance, and mine-sweeping operations in the Strait of Hormuz. A meeting on topics of mutual interest is planned for the near future.

Deciding on Expanding Iran Conflict Within Days

A senior US official indicated that President Trump is expected to decide within the coming days whether to expand military operations against Iran and resume full-scale combat. If Trump orders a resumption of full-scale military action, its scale and intensity would "far exceed" the nine-night US airstrike campaign that began on July 7.

Meeting with Republican Lawmakers

President Trump is scheduled to meet with House Republicans at 5 PM ET on Tuesday (5 AM Wednesday Beijing Time).

Preparing New Tariffs on Dozens of Countries

As the current 10% tariff rate is set to expire on Friday, US officials have prepared various options to allow Trump to impose new tariffs on dozens of countries. The new tariffs are expected to be comparable to the current 10% rate, but the administration is also advancing other investigations to secure the legal authority to propose higher tariffs.
