Votes on the inauguration
The first transgender person in Congress: No laws can change diversity
Donald Trump's presidential order that no government agencies may recognize any gender other than male and female could pose serious problems for non-binary Americans. This is what the first openly gay person in the US Congress, Democratic Representative Sarah McBride, said in an interview with NBC News.
– At the same time, no laws can change the fact that a diversity of gender identities is a practical reality in our country.
McBride was in the audience when Trump declared in his inauguration speech that “it will now be American policy that there are only two genders, male and female”.
– I sat in my chair and did not applaud, McBride replied when asked how she reacted to the statement.
According to her, it is still unclear what exactly the effects of the presidential order will have, but she warns, among other things, of threatened personal privacy and problems for those who did not want to state male or female on their passports.

African Union critical of Trump leaving WHO

– The world needs the WHO more than ever to ensure that global health security is achieved for the common good.
One of the first things Donald Trump did after taking office on Monday was to sign an executive order to withdraw the United States from the WHO. The United States was the organization's single largest contributor.
Trump rages against the bishop's prayer: "Nasty"
Donald Trump calls Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde "nasty" and demands an apology after she said he instills fear in the country's immigrants and LGBTQ people, writes AFP.
"The so-called bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a radical leftist Trump hater," Trump writes on the Truth Social platform.
Previously, several Republicans have raged against the bishop for appealing in her inauguration sermon for Trump to show mercy to LGBTQ people and migrants.

Trump's tariffs
Trump considers China tariffs - could come into effect in February
Donald Trump's team is considering imposing 10 percent tariffs on Chinese goods. Several news media outlets are reporting this.
- We're talking about 10 percent tariffs on China given that they export fentanyl to Mexico and Canada, Trump said during a press conference on Tuesday evening.
The tariffs would probably come into effect on February 1, he continues.
The figure is significantly lower than the promises Trump made during the presidential campaign, when he spoke of tariffs of up to 60 percent.
In parallel, he is threatening tariffs against the EU on the grounds that the EU has an alarmingly high trade surplus with the US, writes Reuters.
