Recently, several important events have taken place in the United States, which have had a huge impact at the national and international level.

1. Renaming of ‘Gulf of America’ on Google Maps:

Soon after the inauguration of former President Donald Trump, on January 20, 2025, he issued an executive order, under which the name of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ on Google Maps has been changed to ‘Gulf of America’. This change will apply only in the United States, while the original name will remain intact in Mexico. Along with this order, Mount Denali in Alaska has been renamed as Mount McKinley. Additionally, the Trump administration has issued several other executive orders related to immigration, climate policies, and transgender rights.

2. Temporary moratorium on federal grants and loans:

The Trump administration has imposed a temporary moratorium on federal grants and loans, which may adversely affect health research, education programs, and other essential services. The Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against the move, arguing that it threatens the supply of state services. Due to this freeze, many important programs are facing financial uncertainty, creating difficulties for local providers to operate.

3. Emergence of Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek:

Chinese AI company DeepSeek has created a stir in the market with its new AI assistant, which is considered to be a rival to the leading AI model ChatGPT. DeepSeek claims that it aims to provide more efficiency and lower costs by using fewer Nvidia chips, which is in contrast to the investments of the US tech giant. Following this announcement, stocks of major tech companies fell sharply, causing losses to companies like Nvidia, Alphabet and Microsoft.

4. Federal Court’s temporary injunction against Trump administration:

A federal court has temporarily blocked the freeze imposed by the Trump administration on federal grants and loans. The ban will remain in effect until Monday, avoiding impact on essential services such as health research and education programs. The decision raises legal and ethical questions about the administration’s policies, and raises the possibility of further legal battles.
