In this episode: The European Union demanded that the U.S. honor last summer’s EU-U.S. trade deal, saying “a deal is a deal,” after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s emergency tariffs and he moved to replace them with new, temporary global levies; U.S. economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter, with real GDP up at a 1.4% annual rate; a federal judge permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing Volume II of former special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s handling of classified records at Mar-a-Lago; the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy that could decide whether cities and states can sue fossil fuel companies for climate-damages in state court under state law; 32% of Americans said Trump has had the right priorities, while 68% said he hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems; and 39% of Americans said they approve of Trump’s job performance, while 60% said they disapprove.
