World in Crisis: Trump's Order, Caracas' "Normal," & Sick Influencers?

Trump Administration's Global Actions Spark Domestic Changes

WASHINGTON D.C. – President Donald Trump's administration has been making waves both domestically and internationally in recent weeks, impacting areas from global diplomacy to arts funding and healthcare costs. The administration's actions include military intervention in Venezuela, threats towards Greenland, Europe, and Iran, and the creation of a new global peace initiative.

One month after U.S. forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Caracas is settling into an uneasy normal, according to NPR. Major changes have occurred, but questions remain about the long-term effects of the intervention.

Domestically, Trump announced the closure of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., starting July 4, for an approximately two-year renovation project, Time reported. Trump stated on Truth Social that the decision to close temporarily came after a yearlong review with contractors, musical experts, arts institutions, and advisors, and that the closure was "total." The closure follows a series of cancellations by artists slated to perform at the venue after Trump upended the Center's leadership and appended his name to the space last year.

Trump's global aspirations are no secret, despite his promises of focusing on "America First," according to Vox. The president's latest global push is the Board of Peace, which has been labeled as a minor bid to replace the United Nations with its billion-dollar lifetime membership fee.

Meanwhile, the United States continues to grapple with rising healthcare costs. According to Vox, Congress set a self-imposed deadline of January 30 to reach a compromise to extend financial assistance, but another window to stem America's latest health care cost crisis is about to close.

The rise of online health information is also under scrutiny. In 2025, nearly 80% of U.S. adults said they were likely to look online for answers to a health question, according to one survey reported by Nature News. The article also stated that 75% of 18-29-year-olds report using social media for health information and advice. Medically trained journalist Deborah Cohen examines the problems and opportunities that arise from this shift in her book "Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health."
