    The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is seeking public comments on unfair trade practices by other countries. This initiative follows directives set out in the America First Trade Policy Presidential Memorandum and the Presidential Memorandum on Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs. Comments should specifically address non-reciprocal trade arrangements and the harm they cause to the U.S. The deadline for submitting comments is March 11, 2025, and submissions should explain the impact of these practices on U.S. interests, supported by quantified harm like opportunity costs.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Trade Office wants people to tell them if other countries are being unfair with trade, like if a country doesn't let the U.S. sell as much stuff to them as they sell to the U.S. They want to know by March 11, 2025, about any problems this causes, like losing money or chances to sell things.

    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Executive Order 14150, titled "America First Policy Directive to the Secretary of State," is issued by the President to direct U.S. foreign policy to prioritize American interests and citizens. The order instructs the Secretary of State to adjust the Department of State’s policies and operations to align with this "America First" approach. It clarifies that the order should not affect existing legal authorities or create enforceable rights. The implementation of the order must comply with applicable law and is dependent on available funding.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a rule saying that the people who decide how America talks to other countries should always think about what is best for the people who live in America first. But the rule doesn’t tell them exactly how to do this or how to check if they’re doing it right.

  • 2025-02612 — Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 9369
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Executive Order 14203, issued by former President Donald J. Trump, imposes sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). The order is in response to what the U.S. government views as illegitimate actions by the ICC, including investigations and arrest warrants against U.S. and Israeli personnel, despite neither country recognizing ICC jurisdiction. As part of these sanctions, the order blocks property and assets and restricts entry into the U.S. for ICC officials and their families when deemed a threat to U.S. interests. It declares a national emergency to address these issues and mandates further actions and reporting by relevant U.S. departments.

    Simple Explanation

    In 2025, the President decided that some people from a special court called the International Criminal Court (ICC) can't come to the U.S. or use their things here because they were trying to investigate people the U.S. doesn't think they should. This decision makes rules about how and when these people can be stopped, but it's not clear how it all works or who exactly might be affected.
