President Trump made headlines this week with a series of significant domestic and international moves, engaging in meetings with foreign leaders, tackling economic issues, and unveiling new immigration plans.

President Donald Trump remained a pivotal figure on the global stage this week, showcasing a blend of domestic policy shifts and international outreach. In his sixth week in office, Trump hosted a range of foreign dignitaries at the White House while addressing pressing issues in Ukraine and Gaza. Here are ten key actions from the Trump administration:

1. **First Cabinet Meeting Conducted**: Trump held his inaugural cabinet meeting on Wednesday, featuring prominent advisor Elon Musk, who emphasized reductions in federal bureaucracy. A memo was dispatched to agencies demanding plans for a 13% staff reduction by mid-March.

2. **Meeting with Macron**: French President Emmanuel Macron made his first White House visit this week. Their discussions revolved around re-establishing communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. However, a commitment for US support to European security was not secured.

3. **UK PM Keir Starmer’s Visit**: Trump also welcomed UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for talks on potential US-UK trade agreements. Trump indicated optimism regarding a tariff-free trade deal being finalized soon.

4. **Letter from King Charles III**: During their meeting, Starmer surprised Trump with a letter from King Charles III, inviting him for a second state visit. Trump accepted the invitation, expressing his gratitude and enthusiasm.

5. **Ukraine Minerals Deal**: The US and Ukraine initiated a deal providing the US access to important rare minerals, with plans for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to sign the agreement in Washington. Trump softened his previous comments about Zelensky after the announcement.

6. **Controversial Gaza Video Shared**: Trump sparked controversy by sharing an AI-generated video that portrayed Gaza as a tourist destination under his leadership. This aligns with his broader, contentious plans for Gaza's redevelopment.

7. **Addressing Rising Egg Prices**: The USDA unveiled a $1 billion initiative to support farmers battling a severe bird flu outbreak that has driven egg prices to record highs. The plan includes funds for biosecurity and financial relief to farmers.

8. **Introduction of 'Gold Card' Visa**: Trump announced a $5 million 'gold card' visa aimed at wealthy individuals, promising expedited paths to US residency and citizenship. He claimed the initiative would create jobs and would be in high demand.

9. **Spending Bill Passed**: The US House of Representatives passed a major government spending bill, worth trillions, which includes substantial tax cuts. The bill aims to further Trump's economic agenda but still faces hurdles before it becomes law.

10. **Super Bowl Victory Invitation**: Trump invited the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win, overcoming previous indications that the team might decline. Reports suggest they are poised to attend.

As President Trump navigates these complex issues, both domestically and on the international front, his decisions continue to spark varied reactions, shaping his administration's narrative and future engagements.
