US Tariffs Take Effect as Trade Talks With China Continue

Despite hinting that a deal could still be reached and noting the “beautiful letter” he received from his Chinese counterpart, President Donald Trump increased tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports Friday morning. “I have no idea what’s going to happen,” Trump said Thursday at the White House, where high-level trade negotiations will continue today. In response, Beijing said it would take unspecified “countermeasures.”
What are the prospects for a deal? While some say the Trump administration is eager to avoid further market volatility, others believe the relationship is now so strained that a quick-fire deal would be difficult. [The Presidential Daily Brief, May 10, 2019]

OBAMA FOUNDATION
Hi everyone,

As Mother’s Day approaches, it’s our privilege to honor some of the powerful moms who are making a difference while raising the next generation of leaders. Like so many, these women are driving change around the world while serving as inspirations at home.

Learn more about Obama Foundation moms who are changing the world and leaving it a better place for their children.

Leaders like Veronica Crespin-Palmer, Dr. Mwansa Ketty Lubeya, and Ana Maria Gonzalez-Forero have picked up the baton of leadership from their own mothers and grandmothers and are now demonstrating that same love, patience, and tenacity to their own children.

In Colorado, Veronica, an Obama Fellow, is working to ensure that marginalized communities have access to a quality education.

In Zambia, Africa Leader Dr. Mwansa Ketty Lubeya works as a gynecologist to treat cervical cancer and improve women’s health while caring for her five children.

And in Colombia, Obama Foundation Scholar Ana Maria Gonzalez-Forero works to ensure sustainable development for indigenous communities.

Veronica, Dr. Mwansa, Ana Maria, and countless moms across the globe are working tirelessly to create a safer, kinder, and more just world for their children to inherit. They show us that inspiration doesn’t just come from within—it’s also handed down through generations.

Learn more about them and other mothers doing remarkable work here.

To those who we wouldn’t be here without,

Obama Foundation, May 9, 2019
