America’s Top Stories Today – Trump, Protests, Trade Wins, and State Reports (June 11, 2025)

America's Pulse: New Baby Accounts from Trump, Immigrants Protesting Deportation Laws and Crazy in the Streets from California to Michigan.
Posted on June 11, 2025

Crazy things are happening in America on June 11, 2025. President Donald Trump is meeting with CEOs to discuss a new "baby" account from an overall $1 trillion investment/development deal, immigrants are protesting deportation laws and state/village police from New York, Michigan and Chicago have taken to the streets with political and police issues. Crazy is everywhere from the West coast to the Midwest to the East coast. This is how things are shaping up in America today, what we need to know about life in America as Trump builds his new nation and some new, angry others in the streets.

Trump's Investment Deal Starts With "Baby Accounts" for Everyone.

On June 10 (yesterday), President Trump met with CEOs from more than 15 companies including Uber, Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs and Dell Technologies to reveal an unprecedented effort under the title of a tax-deferred "Trump Account" investment bank for any child born between now and 2025-2029 age 0-4 will get a $1,000 tax-exempt savings account at birth, dependent upon stock market performance. What this means is, if your child is born within these dates, come 2029, he/she/they could have $1,000 or potentially nothing depending upon how much the stock market goes up and down. This is to not only give families peace of mind for the investment of being pregnant in America, but also to create a better financial situation for America's children going forward when they become older.

This program falls under Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," an overall investment dollar amount that will create the budget surplus from cutbacks in federal jobs that will be tracked/vetted. Supporters hail this as a great way to show confidence in American trading and financial ventures going forward; skeptics punch holes through its viability—a debt increase down the road if stocks go down (which always happens), a debt compromise for America down the road thanks to inflation costs that end up adding up over time. With inflation being reported tomorrow June 12, many retailers and economists are already surmising inflation due to Trump's expectations and more. Will this benefit the new families or hurt America financially down the line?








Relief from China—but is it only Short-Term?

Trump is negotiating internationally, as well. On June 11, a relief plan was announced in an effort to reduce tension between the United States and China. Following Trump's June 5 phone call with Xi Jinping, negotiators in London, it seems, have come to an understanding that will ease China's restrictions on rare earth minerals while the United States will ease restrictions on technology exports—semiconductors and airplane parts.

The international markets responded favorably, with the Asia-Pacific MSCI index increasing by 0.57%. However, elements of a larger trade war still exist; on June 4, Trump revealed that steel and aluminum tariffs have been raised to 50%. This increase anticipated a negative response, however, a federal appeals court upheld the raising of tariffs, for now. Furthermore, the World Bank anticipates that global gross levels will only increase to 2.3% by 2025—down from former expectations—but for international traders to know, Trump's increases severely reduce growth.

Whether this eases the impending trade war is yet to be seen; however, with China's state-run economy yet unchallenged, for Trump, it's a big victory—with an impending deadline for finalization.






National Guard Invades California for Immigration Enforcement

In domestic news, Trump's immigration plans have citizens more riled up than ever before. In Los Angeles, ICE has begun deporting undocumented immigrants; five-day protests—some involving law enforcement intervention—have caused chaos and on June 10, Trump sent 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles. California's Gavin Newsom called Trump's action a "brazen abuse of power," yet he's already tried to sue the federal government to intervene. Such military action, Newsom claims, goes against state rights. But a judge denied Newsom's request to halt such military action.







Militias and Military Reminders of a Controversial Past

He's not just stirring immigration debates—he's making military and military adjustments, too. On June 10, he traveled to Fort Bragg, NC, to meet with troops and veterans, thanking them for their service and declaring plans to bring back Confederate names to military bases. Since the movement to change the names of bases honoring such controversial military leaders was approved in 2020 by Congress and the Pentagon, Trump's announcement reiterates his desire to change the narrative of history in America.
Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Supporters claim it's a return to American values while those against it believe it's a step in the wrong direction. Regardless, Trump is throwing his own military parade down Washington, D.C. on June 14—his 79th birthday. This could be a powder keg with tensions running unclear and protests already active.






State Stories: From Signs of Impending Doom to Celebration

New Jersey: With New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's time in office coming to an end quickly, voters took to the polls on June 11 to select potential nominees for the 2026 governorship.

No one really knows what she did yet—details are limited.

What's Happening Now?

The United States is on the brink of major change. With Trump at the helm implementing aggressive trade and immigration policies, rough waters ahead are imminent. But there's already a lot of controversy from coast to coast with protestors in California and Texas and more localized concerns in Jersey, Florida, and Michigan. An impending military parade in D.C. and a the hype about trade negotiations with China is bound to make people more riled up in the coming weeks.

What do you think of this era? Is Trump justified in his actions? Is it a presidential over-reach or just what the country needs at this time? Comment below with your thoughts. We appreciate your engagement and hope to see you here again soon for more developments.
