Economic Outlook
OECD Forecasts Economic Slowdown Due to Trade Policies: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) projects that President Donald Trump's recent tariff hikes will reduce economic growth in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, while increasing inflation. The OECD anticipates U.S. growth to slow to 2.2% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026.
Immigration and Law Enforcement
U.S. Funds El Salvador to Detain Venezuelan Gang Suspects: The U.S. government is paying $6 million to El Salvador to detain 238 Venezuelan gang suspects deported from the U.S. This arrangement is considered cost-effective compared to domestic incarceration expenses. The suspects are linked to Tren de Aragua, a group recently designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
Tren de Aragua Gang Under U.S. Scrutiny: Originating from a Venezuelan prison, the Tren de Aragua gang has become a focal point in U.S. political debates on immigration. President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport over 200 immigrants to El Salvador, citing the gang's criminal activities, including sex trafficking and drug smuggling.

U.S. Airstrikes in Yemen
Initiation of Airstrikes: The U.S. military has conducted airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen, resulting in at least 53 fatalities, including children. These strikes are a response to the Houthis' attacks on over 100 merchant vessels in the Red Sea, which led to the sinking of two ships and the deaths of four sailors. The campaign aims to deter the Houthis' piracy and violence affecting key global shipping routes.
Escalation of Conflict: Following the U.S. airstrikes, tens of thousands of Yemenis participated in rallies protesting the attacks. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for assaults on the USS Harry S. Truman, though these claims remain unverified by U.S. officials.

Threats and Warnings
Houthis' Threats: The Houthi rebels have threatened to target any U.S. ships within 1,000 miles of Yemen. They have declared U.S. vessels banned from strategic maritime regions, including the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the southern Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.
U.S. Response to Iran: President Donald Trump has warned Iran of severe consequences if Houthi attacks persist, stating that any aggression by the Houthis would be considered an act by Iran.

Recent Developments
U.S. Military Engagements: The United States has intensified its military operations against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

These actions are in response to the Houthis' attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea, which have disrupted vital maritime trade routes.
Houthi Retaliation: In retaliation, the Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacks on U.S. naval vessels, including the USS Harry S. Truman. While these claims are yet to be independently verified, they underscore the group's intent to challenge U.S. military presence in the region.
International Responses

Trump emphasized that any further Houthi attacks would be met with "dire" consequences directed at Iran.
