 Trump Pauses Tariffs on Mexico, Canada
President Trump signed exemptions for tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico that comply with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), delaying duties until April 2.
Trump reduced tariffs on Canadian potash from 25% to 10% and confirmed auto imports under USMCA would remain exempt.
Despite the exemption, tariffs still apply to about 50% of Mexican imports and more than 60% of Canadian goods.

House Censures Speech Heckler
The House voted 224-198 Thursday to censure Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green for heckling President Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress earlier this week.
Ten Democrats joined Republicans in censuring Green, rebuking the 11-term congressman for waving his cane and yelling at Trump, prompting his removal from the chamber.
After the vote, Green was ordered to stand in the chamber while the resolution, condemning his behavior as “a breach of proper conduct,” was read aloud.
A group of Democrats joined Green on the chamber floor, and together they began singing the civil rights anthem We Shall Overcome. See them singing here.

Study: U.S. Leads in Millionaires
The U.S. has more high-net-worth individuals than any other country, with nearly 40% of the world’s super-rich residing in America, according to a 2025 wealth report.
The report found that the U.S. outpaced other countries in creating and attracting high-net-worth individuals—people with more than $10 million in assets—fueled by strong financial markets and the 2024 bitcoin surge.
The U.S. is home to over 900,000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals, more than double the number in second-place China. While global high-net-worth individuals grew by 4.4%, the U.S. saw a 5.2% increase.
