特朗普: 我对哥伦比亚实施了25%的关税,并可能进一步提高到50%,以及其他制裁措施,因为哥伦比亚总统阻止了载有移民的美国军机降落。我坚持认为约旦和埃及应该接收来自加沙的巴勒斯坦难民,以帮助重建家园。我解雇了十多名总监察长,虽然这可能违反了法律,但我拥有这么做的权力,并且我认为更换人员是必要的。 Jane Koston: 特朗普政府的目标是消除联邦政府和私营部门的 DEI 计划,这引发了人们对这一行动潜在影响的担忧。此外,特朗普政府的一些内阁成员任命,例如皮特·黑格塞思,尽管存在争议,但仍然获得批准,这引发了人们对基于能力的招聘的质疑。 Farrah Stockman: 拜登政府的多元化内阁成员的个人经历有助于他们更好地履行职责,但这些益处并未得到充分理解和宣传。政府和企业中的DEI计划可能存在缺陷,其效果和初衷可能存在偏差。拜登政府的DEI努力缺乏清晰的沟通和理解,部分原因在于其范围过于广泛。特朗普政府正在广泛地定义“多样性”,并取消了与DEI相关的政府部门和项目,甚至追溯到之前的政策。特朗普政府的反DEI行动可能影响旨在帮助少数族裔的政策,并可能波及私营部门,对那些坚持多元化政策的企业造成影响。“DEI”一词已被高度政治化,其含义和目标存在误解。许多美国人误解了DEI背后的精神,认为它与能力互斥。特朗普政府声称DEI政策与基于能力的招聘相互排斥,但这与他们的一些内阁成员任命相矛盾。特朗普政府的反DEI行动传递的信息是,少数族裔获得职位是因为他们的种族背景,而不是能力。政府部门的“能力”标准与私营部门不同,特朗普政府更看重忠诚度。特朗普政府的反DEI行动代表着巨大的文化转变,与拜登政府的政策形成鲜明对比。 琳赛·格雷厄姆: 特朗普政府解雇总监察长,即使这可能违反了法律,但总统有权这么做。 亚当·希夫: 特朗普政府解雇总监察长违反了法律,这将导致政府腐败增加。

President Trump announced a 25% tariff on Colombian goods in response to Colombia blocking US military planes carrying migrants. This action is a risky move given the US is Colombia's largest trading partner and will likely impact consumers.

Shownotes Transcript

President Donald Trump fired up his social media account Sunday to say the U.S. would immediately slap a 25 percent tariff on all goods from Colombia, among other penalties. It was a response to Colombian President Petro Gustavo’s move to block two U.S. military planes carrying migrants from landing in the country. Trump also continued his push to dismantle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — or DEI — programs, extending threats of punishment beyond the federal government to the private sector. Farah Stockman, a member of the New York Times editorial board, talks about the potential downsides of Trump’s anti-DEI orders.

And in headlines: President Trump said Jordan and Egypt should take Palestinian refugees from Gaza, Vice President Vance broke a Senate tie to confirm Pete Hegseth as the next Secretary of Defense, and Trump fires a bunch of inspectors general in an apparent violation of federal law.
