On May 10, 2025, President Donald Trump faced renewed scrutiny over his administration’s approach to Social Security reforms. Reports indicated that Trump was pushing for drastic changes to the Social Security Administration (SSA), including workforce reductions and the elimination of paper-based benefits. Critics warned that these measures could undermine essential services for millions of retirees who rely on Social Security payments.
Meanwhile, Trump hailed a “total reset” in U.S.-China trade relations as negotiations continued in Geneva. The talks, led by senior economic officials from both nations, aimed to ease tensions following Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. While Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal, Chinese officials remained cautious, labeling U.S. tariffs “illegal and unreasonable”.
Internationally, Trump claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, despite neither country officially acknowledging U.S. involvement. The agreement, which halted escalating military tensions, was described by Trump as a “great victory for common sense”. However, reports later surfaced that Pakistan had violated the truce by launching attacks along the Line of Control.
May 10, 2025, underscored the complexities of Trump’s leadership, blending assertive policy moves with widespread public and diplomatic challenges. It highlighted the administration’s ongoing efforts to navigate domestic and international priorities.
