US President Donald Trump Pulls Out of Trans-Pacific Partnership

Putting into action his campaign’s tough talk on trade, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that formally withdrew the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal. President Donald Trump could end the U.S. participation with 11 other Pacific Rim nations with the stroke of a pen because Congress had not ratified the ambitious accord despite strong support from business groups and President Obama. Nevertheless, the withdrawal put Capitol Hill and foreign governments on notice that the president would demand better deals on a one-on-one basis. After signing the document, President Donald Trump declared that it was a “great thing for the American worker.”

After Inauguration, Women's March Highlights Deeply Divided Country


After Inauguration, Women's March Highlights Deeply Divided Country 


Men and women who came to Washington to celebrate the inauguration said Saturday that they felt President Donald Trump had given them a voice, while those who participated in the Women's March Saturday said they feared they were losing theirs. That fear drove the masses to Washington only a day after Trump took the Oath of Office. Men, women, children carried signs or wore shirts protesting the president's rhetoric during the campaign and the policies they feared would threaten reproductive rights, civil rights and the environment. They carried signs reading, "Nasty Women Keep Fighting," "Hate builds walls but love builds bridges," "Want to make America great again? Resign!" among many others. Some chanted, "We are the popular vote!" Others chanted, "This is what democracy looks like."

What Companies Are Paying for Donald Trump's Inauguration?



What Companies Are Paying for Donald Trump's Inauguration?


Private donors have doled out $90 million on Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, including some heavyweight public companies, according to Business Insider. The report notes that this is about the same amount of money spent toward President Barack Obama's two inaugurations combined. These companies include Boeing Co. (ticker: BA), which gave $1 million just like it did back in 2013. Chevron Corp., on the other hand, only gave $500,000, slicing its 2013 contribution in half, per OpenSecrets, the website for the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics. Verizon Communications (VZ) confirmed to Business Insider its donation of $100,000, AT&T (T) wouldn't reveal how much it spent and Coca-Cola Co.'s (KO) spending will be close to its 2013 amount (slightly more than $431,000). The more money paid, the better the perks – like "elegant" dinners with both the new president and vice president and their wives, according to a brochure obtained by multiple news outlets.
