1. Supreme Court Justices Question the Legality of Trump's Tariff Policy —At a hearing on Wednesday, a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court justices questioned the legality of Trump's tariff policy, with only one justice appearing to support it. A ruling is expected as early as the end of the year. 2. Responding to the Supreme Court Hearing on the Legality of Tariffs —When asked about his views on the oral arguments in the Supreme Court case concerning tariffs, Trump's response sounded optimistic. He said, "I hear the case is going well. What I want to say is that if we lose, it will be devastating for our country." 3. Blaming the Election Loss on the Government Shutdown, Demanding an End to "Browsy Debates" but Rejected —On November 5th, local time, Trump blamed the Republican Party's election loss on the government shutdown, calling on Republicans to immediately end the "blossoming debates" and stating that "we should start passing legislation tonight" to expedite the government's reopening. However, his demand to end the "blossoming debates" was subsequently rejected by Republicans. 4. Offering reassurance: US stocks will hit new highs – a great opportunity —US President Trump said on Wednesday that the stock market will hit more "all-time highs." Trump stated, "The stock market has hit many new highs in the last nine months, and it will hit many more. This is just the beginning. When the factories start operating, things will be very different. We've never seen such a boom. This is a great opportunity." 5. Reiterating the call for "immediate resumption of nuclear testing" —On November 6, Trump almost verbatim repeated his statement from late October calling for the resumption of nuclear testing. The statement said, "In light of other countries' testing programs, I have ordered the War Department to begin conducting U.S. nuclear weapons tests on a reciprocal basis." 6. Praising cryptocurrencies, expecting Q3 GDP growth of 4.2% or higher —At the U.S. Business Forum in Miami, Trump said he would end the federal government's "war" on cryptocurrencies and praised digital currencies for "relieving a lot of pressure on the dollar." He also projected that US GDP growth would reach 4.2% or higher in the third quarter. 7. Openly Threatening Military Strike Against Nigeria —In a video leaked on the "Truth Social Network," Trump again brought up the old issue of the Nigerian government's failure to protect Christians, and declared that he had ordered the Pentagon to prepare for "possible action" unless the West African nation immediately "hands over its answer." 8. Questioning South Africa's G20 Eligibility —Trump again attacked South Africa, saying that South Africa should not remain in the G20, and reiterated that he would not attend the G20 leaders' summit to be held in South Africa later this month. The South African government offended the United States by filing a lawsuit against Israel in the International Court of Justice in December 2023 for alleged genocide in the Gaza Strip.
