President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of his second term, focusing on government reforms, fiscal challenges, and international relations. A key highlight was the appointment of Elon Musk as an adviser and head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk outlined plans to modernize outdated federal technology, aiming to cut inefficiencies by 15% and save trillions. His remarks were met with humor, as Trump jokingly asked the Cabinet if anyone was unhappy with Musk, drawing laughter during the otherwise serious discussions.
Internationally, Trump announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s upcoming White House visit to finalize an agreement on reconstruction aid and rare earth minerals. Treasury and Commerce officials were praised for securing the deal, which benefits both nations.
The administration reaffirmed its commitment to reducing bureaucracy, cutting waste, and improving accountability. With DOGE leading technological reforms, Trump’s team is set on transforming government operations to meet economic and security challenges head-on.
