On October 17, 2025, President Donald J. Trump officially declared October 2025 as National Energy Dominance Month through a presidential proclamation. This action uses the President’s constitutional and legal authority to recognize and promote a focus on increasing U.S. energy production and independence. The proclamation highlights policies aimed at boosting oil, coal, natural gas, and mineral production, affecting American energy workers, industries, and consumers by encouraging more domestic drilling, mining, and energy production. It also references previous executive orders and the creation of a National Energy Dominance Council to support these goals. While the proclamation itself does not create new laws or regulations, it signals the administration’s priority on expanding energy production and reducing reliance on foreign energy sources, which could influence future policy decisions and regulatory actions.

On October 17, 2025, President Donald J. Trump officially declared October 2025 as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month through a presidential proclamation, which is a formal statement using his constitutional and legal powers to recognize an issue and encourage action. This proclamation affects all Americans, including individuals, businesses, and government agencies, by urging them to learn about and improve their online safety through activities like using strong passwords and updating software. The document also refers to an earlier executive order signed by the President that directs federal agencies to improve cybersecurity practices, such as adopting better encryption and focusing on protecting against foreign cyber threats, and highlights a new law called the TAKE IT DOWN Act aimed at protecting children from harmful online content. This matters because the government says cyberattacks have caused big problems and costs, so this effort is meant to help protect personal privacy, national security, and the economy by making the country safer online.

On October 17, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation that puts extra taxes, called tariffs, on certain trucks, buses, and their parts that are brought into the United States from other countries. These tariffs are mostly 25% for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and their parts, and 10% for buses. The government says this is because these vehicles and parts are important for national security, like helping the military and emergency services, and that too many are being imported, which could hurt U.S. industries. The tariffs start on November 1, 2025, and will stay unless changed. The rules also give some benefits to U.S. manufacturers who build these vehicles here, by letting them reduce some of the tariffs on parts they import. This action affects companies that make or import these vehicles and parts, and aims to encourage more production in the U.S. The government says this will help keep jobs and make the country safer, but it could also raise costs for businesses and consumers who rely on these vehicles.
