President Donald Trump kept pushing two of his less popular ideas in his 10th week in office: annexing Greenland and imposing more tariffs.
Both ideas have received little traction among Americans in recent polls, with one showing only 19% approve of Trump’s idea of somehow taking over Greenland.
Here’s a mostly complete look at what else Trump or his administration has done over the last seven days:
• Announced he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles and foreign-made auto parts.
• Sent Vice President JD Vance to Greenland, where he argued that Denmark has not “done a good job.”
• Withdrew the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations to avoid potentially losing a Republican in the House.
• Canceled more than 300 visas, primarily student visas, including for students who participated in pro-Palestinian protests.
• Cut dozens of HIV-related research grants with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
• Pardoned the former CEO of Nikola Corp., on federal crimes related to defrauding investors, after he made significant political donations to Trump and his allies.
• Announced a sweeping round of new tariffs on imports to take effect April 2, which he dubbed “Liberation Day.”
• Sent Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to a Salvadoran prison, where she wore a $50,000 watch while filming a video.
• Said he will nominate a Fox News contributor as head of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
• Suspended security clearances for employees of a law firm that previously employed Robert Mueller. • Announced that Trump’s eldest sons’ cryptocurrency venture will launch a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. • Argued that people who vandalized his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland were “terrorists” who should be “treated harshly.” • Signed an executive order seeking to eliminate “improper, divisive, or anti-American” ideology from the Smithsonian Institution. • Reportedly hired a researcher who has claimed unproven links between vaccines and autism at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. • Said that he is “not joking” when he talks about an unconstitutional third term.
