FRContinuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
President Donald Trump’s executive order continues the suspension of the duty-free “de minimis” exemption for low-value imports from all countries, including packages sent through the international postal system. It revises an earlier order to require that most of these shipments pay applicable duties, taxes, fees, and charges, and it directs Customs and Border Protection to collect those charges using updated procedures. For postal shipments, the order sets a temporary duty tied to the import surcharge established on February 20, 2026, and requires carriers or other approved parties to collect and send those payments to CBP. The order says it was issued because the administration determined that systems are now in place to collect these duties and that keeping the suspension in place remains necessary to address the national emergencies identified in earlier Trump orders.

FRUrgent National Action to Save College Sports
President Donald J. Trump’s order directs federal agencies to begin setting up a national framework to stabilize college sports, with key provisions taking effect on August 1, 2026. It tells agencies that fund or contract with colleges to consider whether schools are violating major college athletics rules on eligibility, transfers, revenue-sharing, and improper payments when evaluating those schools’ standing for federal grants and contracts. The order also pushes the national governing body for college sports to strengthen rules on issues such as five-year eligibility limits, transfer rules, medical care for athletes, protection of women’s and Olympic sports, limits on fraudulent NIL pay schemes, and a national registry for student-athlete agents. It further directs the Justice Department to challenge certain state laws that conflict with national college sports rules and says the action was issued because the White House views the current system as financially unstable, legally chaotic, and threatening to the structure of college athletics and universities’ broader responsibilities.

Liberating the Department of Homeland Security From the Democrat-Caused Shutdown
President Donald J. Trump issued this memorandum declaring the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse an emergency situation that compromises national security.

The memo also instructs DHS, once normal funding is restored, to adjust its accounts as allowed by law so operations can continue in line with planned spending before the lapse. It was issued to end the pay disruption affecting DHS workers and to maintain the department’s readiness to carry out border security, emergency response, and other core missions.

FRAdjusting Imports of Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceutical Ingredients into the United States
President Donald J. Trump issued this proclamation after a Commerce Department investigation found that heavy U.S. reliance on imported patented pharmaceuticals and their ingredients threatens national security. The action imposes a 100 percent tariff on covered patented drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients, while allowing lower or zero tariff rates in certain cases, including for companies with approved plans to move production into the United States, companies with agreements on most-favored-nation pricing and onshoring, and some products covered by trade arrangements or special exemptions. It directs the Secretaries of Commerce and Health and Human Services to negotiate and enforce these agreements, set standards for onshoring plans, monitor compliance, and report back to the President. The proclamation was issued to reduce reliance on foreign-made patented medicines and drug ingredients and strengthen domestic pharmaceutical production tied to national security.

FRStrengthening Actions Taken to Adjust Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States
President Donald J. Trump issued this proclamation to tighten existing section 232 import restrictions on aluminum, steel, and copper, saying these imports continue to threaten U.S. national security. The action changes the tariff rules so that, starting April 6, 2026, the duties generally apply to the full customs value of covered products rather than just their metal content, and it sets updated tariff rates for different categories of metal articles and derivative products, with some lower rates for certain United Kingdom products and items made entirely from U.S.-sourced metal. It also revises which derivative products are covered, removes some products from the tariff lists, and creates a new system that lets the Commerce Secretary and the U.S. Trade Representative jointly add more derivative products on a rolling basis instead of using the old inclusion process. Trump said the proclamation was issued to strengthen and refine the metal tariff system so it more effectively supports domestic metal production and addresses the national security concerns identified in earlier proclamations.

FREnsuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections
President Donald J. Trump’s order directs federal agencies to create and regularly send states a “State Citizenship List” drawn from federal records to help election officials verify which residents are confirmed U.S. citizens and old enough to vote in upcoming federal elections. It also tells the Attorney General to prioritize investigations and possible prosecutions involving ballots sent to people who are not eligible to vote in federal elections, including cases involving election officials or private companies handling ballots. The order further instructs the U.S. Postal Service to begin rulemaking for national standards on mailed ballots, including official election mail markings, trackable unique barcodes, and state-provided lists of approved mail-in and absentee ballot recipients. Trump says the order was issued to enforce existing federal voting laws, verify citizenship in federal elections, protect the mail ballot process, and strengthen confidence in election administration.

FRContinuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation
President Donald Trump issued this notice to continue for one more year the national emergency first declared in Executive Order 14024 regarding harmful activities by the Government of the Russian Federation. The action keeps in place the emergency authorities tied to that order, as expanded by later executive orders, because the administration says those activities still pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security, foreign policy, and the economy. The notice cites Russian actions such as election interference, malicious cyber activity, corruption used to influence governments, targeting dissidents and journalists, undermining security in key regions, and violating territorial integrity. It was issued under the National Emergencies Act and directs that the continuation be published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress.
