President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of his second term on Wednesday, with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in attendance. The meeting comes a day after the House narrowly passed a budget resolution, setting the stage for Trump\u2019s policy agenda.
\nOne of the key issues under discussion is the administration\u2019s efforts to freeze foreign aid. The congressional Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee is reviewing the impact of these cuts, though legal challenges have delayed Trump\u2019s attempts to block global funding. On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that billions in withheld aid must be released, citing non-compliance with a previous court order.
\nDuring the meeting, Trump\u2019s Cabinet members showed strong support for Musk, applauding when a reporter asked if anyone opposed DOGE\u2019s work. \u201cIf they are, I\u2019ll throw them out,\u201d Trump quipped. Musk praised Trump\u2019s team, calling it \u201cthe best Cabinet ever\u201d and emphasized the administration\u2019s efforts to improve government efficiency.
\nMusk, wearing a MAGA hat, was the first to speak after Trump\u2019s opening remarks. He described DOGE as \u201ctech support for the government\u201d and claimed his efforts could help the U.S. save $1 trillion. He also revealed receiving death threats but remained focused on his work.
\nMeanwhile, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), the top Democrat on the DOGE subcommittee, criticized Musk\u2019s role, dubbing the situation the \u201cElon Musk chainsaw massacre.\u201d She urged him to testify before Congress, highlighting concerns over the administration\u2019s approach to budget cuts.
\nTrump is expected to sign more executive orders later in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
