Trump signs executive order to dismantle Department of Education, triggering concerns over impact on American education system.

In Short

President Trump has signed an executive order to start closing the Department of Education, stating education should be managed at the state level.

The decision has raised concerns among education advocates about the potential negative impact on federal education programs and student access.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to begin the process of closing the Department of Education.

This move aligns with his ongoing campaign promise, although specific details were not provided at the signing ceremony.

The order follows a recent announcement from the department about plans to reduce its workforce significantly, raising concerns about the future of numerous federal education programs.

During the signing ceremony, Trump stated that education should be managed at the state level. He assured that critical funding for low-income schools, special needs students, and Pell Grants would be maintained and redistributed to other agencies.

Trump explained the urgency of dismantling the department, asserting that it is not beneficial to the American education system.

In response to this decision, education advocates expressed strong concerns, warning that abolishing the department could disrupt the education system and negatively affect students.

They argue that without federal oversight, college access could decline, student loan defaults could rise, and unscrupulous institutions could exploit students.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.


U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.

The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.

Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.

While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.


A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.

Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.

Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
