As we have consistently underscored, assessed contributions to the United Nations regular budget and peacekeeping budget, as approved by the General Assembly, are a legal obligation under the UN Charter for all Member States, including the United States," Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for Guterres, said in a statement. He added that despite the announcement, the U.N. entities targeted will keep doing their work: The United Nations has a responsibility to deliver for those who depend on us.

President Donald Trump's recent executive order has turned the post-Christmas slump into an official extension of the holiday season, designating Friday, Dec. 26, as a federal holiday. While his directive has effectively shuttered federal offices for a rare five-day weekend, the rest of the economy is operating in a state of partial suspension, leading to a confusing situation about who, exactly, is back to business today.

The card which is, as the name suggests, gold prominently features a stern-looking Trump; he is flanked by the Statue of Liberty and a bald eagle, while the American flag is in the bottom left corner. It also has the presidential seal in the right upper corner, and is emblazoned with Trump Gold Card next to Trump's mug, in case those cardholders forget who came up with the idea, apparently.

The Hegseth Policy likely does not violate equal protection. We doubt that the policy triggers any form of heightened scrutiny. In Skrmetti, the Supreme Court held that a law prohibiting the use of hormones to treat gender dysphoria in minors classifies on the basis of medical use and thus does not discriminate based on either sex or transgender status The same reasoning would seem to cover the Hegseth Policy, which classifies based on the medical condition of gender dysphoria.

A federal judge on Monday struck down Donald Trump's executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of windfarms on federal lands and waters was arbitrary and capricious and violated US law. Judge Patti Saris of the US district court for the district of Massachusetts vacated Trump's 20 January executive order blocking wind energy projects and declared it unlawful.

Catch up quick: Trump issued an executive order Saturday directing the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to establish task forces on anti-competitive behavior in the food supply chain. The order specifically directs them to look at "whether control of food-related industries by foreign entities is increasing the cost of food products in the United States or creating a national or economic security threat to Americans." The task forces are expected to brief congressional leaders within six months.

The initiatives in the executive order gives me tremendous pride, Melania said, and the effort was both empathetic and strategic. I call on leadership from these various organizations, including the private sector, to join my effort, Melania said from the East Room before an audience that included lawmakers, cabinet officials and members of the foster-care community. The first lady added: Rise above the ease of inaction.

Since the start of 2025, many prominent big tech companies have publicly scaled back their DEI programs, in response to shifting requirements by the US government. Within days of taking office, President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies within federal departments and sending a message and demanded civil investigations into companies that have such programs in place.

The new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) policy has been issued to comply with president Donald Trump's "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" executive order, which directed airlines to disregard the "X" marker and ask for either "M" or "F" instead. The "X" non-binary marker was introduced in 2022, during Joe Biden's presidency, but has since been suspended for anyone applying for a new passport.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, clearing the way for a deal to put TikTok in U.S. hands following a divestiture by its Chinese parent ByteDance. That avoids a total shutdown of the app in the U.S. that was required by law unless TikTok shed its China-based owner. Speaking as the president signed the executive order in the Oval Office, Vance pegged TikTok's worth at $14 billion-equal to Snapchat parent Snap.
