US updates: Judge halts Trump bid to change citizenship law DW 01/23/2025
Briefly

During his address at the World Economic Forum, President Trump emphasized plans to enhance US manufacturing by proposing lower corporate tax rates. Concurrently, Trump faced significant pushback when a federal judge temporarily blocked his order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the US, highlighting concerns raised by multiple lawsuits citing the 14th Amendment. This ruling marked an early judicial challenge to Trump's immigration policies, which have prompted widespread protests across various US cities against deportation plans and immigrant rights violations.

Trump promised to lower corporate tax rates for US manufacturers, asserting the need for economic growth and competitiveness on a global scale during his World Economic Forum address.
