26.05.2025Saudi Billions and Syrian Reset

Trump's first international trip to Saudi Arabia yielded significant diplomatic shifts, with the announcement of a $600 billion Saudi investment commitment to the US and a $142 billion arms deal. More controversially, Trump declared plans to lift all sanctions against Syria, describing it as giving them "a chance at greatness."

The Qatar jet gift controversy intensified, with Senate Majority Leader Schumer placing a hold on DOJ nominees over the issue, while ethics experts continued to raise emoluments concerns.

A significant judicial ruling allowed Trump to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, marking the first approval of this controversial policy.

Meanwhile, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, ending his season, while Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial featured graphic testimony from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura about alleged abuse and controlled "freak-offs."

מחלוקת מתנת המטוס מקטאר החריפה, כאשר מנהיג הרוב בסנאט שומר הציב עיכוב על מועמדי משרד המשפטים בגלל הסוגיה, בעוד מומחי אתיקה המשיכו להעלות חששות לגבי טובות הנאה.

פסיקה משפטית משמעותית אפשרה לטראמפ להשתמש בחוק האויבים הזרים כדי לגרש מהגרים ונצואלים, מה שמסמל את האישור הראשון למדיניות שנויה במחלוקת זו.
