01.05.2025 โ‡ข Signal Crisis Reshuffles National Security Team
โŒจThe U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal, signed after Trump pressured Kyiv to "pay back" American support, dominated morning coverage. The agreement provides the U.S. preferential access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals reserves.

By midday, economic concerns intensified with warnings about impending supply chain disruptions from China tariffs. CNN compared potential shortages to pandemic-era disruptions.

The afternoon brought a major national security shake-up after National Security Adviser Michael Waltz was removed following what media called "Signalgate" โ€“ accidentally adding a journalist to sensitive Signal chats. Waltz was reassigned as UN Ambassador nominee, with Secretary of State Rubio assuming the NSA role temporarily.

Late day coverage included a federal judge ruling Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations unlawful, continuing judicial pushback against immigration policies. May Day protests against Trump policies occurred nationwide, with worker demonstrations focusing on economic inequality.
