15.06.2025Electronics Exemption Day

The Trump administration exempted smartphones, computers, and chips from its reciprocal tariffs, marking a significant pullback from its aggressive trade stance with China. This exemption dominated headlines throughout the day, signaling Trump's recognition of economic realities after markets tumbled earlier in the week.

U.S.-Iran nuclear talks began in Oman, with reports indicating discussions would continue next week. Immigration enforcement remained aggressive, with reports revealing the administration's private goal to deport 1 million immigrants in 2025, ending protected status for Afghans, and invalidating social security numbers of over 6,000 immigrants.

Trump's deportation tactics faced legal scrutiny as the government confirmed Kilmar Abrego Garcia was "alive and secure" in El Salvador while continuing to defy the Supreme Court's return order. An immigration judge ruled Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil could be deported, though his removal remains temporarily blocked. HEBREWSUMMARY: ממשל טראמפ פטר סמארטפונים, מחשבים ושבבים מהמכסים ההדדיים שלו, מסמן נסיגה משמעותית מעמדתו התוקפנית במלחמת הסחר עם סין. פטור זה שלט בכותרות לאורך היום, מאותת על הכרת טראמפ במציאות הכלכלית לאחר שהשווקים צנחו מוקדם יותר בשבוע.

שיחות גרעין בין ארה"ב לאיראן החלו בעומאן, עם דיווחים המצביעים על המשך הדיונים בשבוע הבא. אכיפת ההגירה נשארה אגרסיבית, עם דיווחים החושפים את המטרה הפרטית של הממשל לגרש מיליון מהגרים ב-2025, סיום מעמד מוגן לאפגנים, וביטול מספרי ביטוח לאומי של יותר מ-6,000 מהגרים.

טקטיקות הגירוש של טראמפ עמדו תחת בחינה משפטית כאשר הממשלה אישרה שקילמר אברגו גרסיה "חי ומאובטח" באל סלבדור בזמן שהיא ממשיכה להתעלם מהוראת בית המשפט העליון להחזירו. שופט הגירה פסק כי ניתן לגרש את סטודנט קולומביה מחמוד חליל, אם כי הרחקתו נותרה חסומה זמנית.
