Patrick Healy: This is the First 100 Days, a weekly series examining President Trump's use of power and his drive to change America.
On Tuesday we hit the milestone: President Trump has been in office 100 days. So what have we learned? He has used power chaotically — but for a purpose: to throw an entire country off balance, to gain maximum leverage while keeping friends and enemies alike on their back heel. He's ruled by executive order to an unprecedented degree, and he's trying to remake America in his image.
He decides who matters and who is disposable. So tens of thousands of federal workers are gone. D.E.I. is gone. Transgender people are erased as a matter of government policy. Undocumented migrants are being rounded up, and deportations are also underway of people lawfully in the country, and even American citizens. The president is doing much of this in defiance of the courts and the Constitution.

Opinion: Focus on tariffs is ignoring Canada's fastest-growing trade opportunity
With the latest 35 per cent tariff threat from United States President Donald Trump, the national trade discussion and news headlines are, understandably, fixated once again on tariffs on goods and what to do about them. As a relatively small, open economy, Canada relies heavily on trade — especially trade with our neighbour and the world's largest market — to sustain living standards. But focusing only on physical goods risks missing a major opportunity. Canada's fastest-growing export category is not oil or autos. It is digitally delivered services. These services are delivered remotely or sold via digital platforms. Digital services do not move across physical borders. They move through code, platforms and cross-border data flows. Over the past 20 years, they have grown nearly four times faster than Canada's other exports, yet they remain largely absent from the national trade conversation. A new discussion paper from the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada points out that digital service exports now account for almost two-thirds of Canada's commercial services exports. Growth is strongest in sectors such as software, engineering, audiovisual services and IT consulting. Digital services are also the fastest-growing part of global trade. Since 2005, they have grown more than three times faster than goods trade globally. Their share of total world services exports has climbed to more than 50 per cent from 30 per cent. The fastest-growing importers of digital services include Indonesia, Vietnam, Chile, Peru, the Philippines and India, where demand for digital solutions is growing rapidly across sectors such as information technology, fintech and e-commerce. Many fast-growth markets now import more digital services than traditional goods. Cloud-based collaboration, seamless and instant language translation, and digital platforms are accelerating this shift. New artificial intelligence (AI) developments further expand the menu of what can be traded globally. Canada has the foundations in place to seize this opportunity. This country has world-class AI researchers, firms that are digitally enabled and diaspora connections to emerging digital markets. Canadians are also among the top global users of generative AI tools. The federal government now has a dedicated minister for AI and digital innovation. Canadian trade policymakers have been leaders in including digital provisions in trade agreements. The Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) already contain modern digital trade rules, and Canada has just announced a new digital trade agreement to be negotiated alongside the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). But despite all these tools, Canada is punching far below its weight. Our digital services exports have rapidly grown, but our global market share remains below three per cent. That is well behind the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands. Ottawa needs to reframe Canada's trade discussion for the digital and AI era. Digital trade is growing quickly, faces different restrictions than physical trade and relies less on geography, and is aligned with Canada's relative strengths. Canada should adopt a clear national goal: double its share of global digital services exports by 2030 and ensure that at least half go to markets beyond North America. This target would focus national attention and provide a benchmark for progress in a fast-growing part of the global economy. It would also help identify and address the barriers that digital exporters face. Canada already offers support through trade commissioners and export financing, but these efforts are rarely co-ordinated around a shared objective. Moreover, those responsible for AI and digital innovation do not co-ordinate with those responsible for trade. A clear target would connect these discussions. Canadian firms in traditional sectors such as manufacturing, agri-food and mining could also benefit from embedding more digital services into their exports. But the data on digital services inputs shows that most are not adopting these inputs in significant ways. Strengthening digital services trade would support these sectors by making their offerings more competitive and more resilient amid the trade crisis. Policymakers should treat digital trade as core to the country's economic strategy. Canada has the tools it needs to capitalize on the new trade possibilities that have already emerged. Jack Mintz: Governments may overproduce, but not the private sector Opinion: Our long-running trade soap opera with the Americans An increased focus on digital trade also helps derisk Canada's overall trade portfolio. It expands both the types of trade and markets for that trade, making Canada's economy more resilient in the face of tariff whiplash under Trump 2.0.

Alina Habba Faces Federal Judges Over Her Job
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Alina Habba is facing federal judges on Monday in a meeting that will decide if she will step down or continue in her current role as the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. President Donald Trump, for whom Habba previously served as personal legal counsel, announced her appointment to the role on March 24. Habba's 120-day interim appointment is set to expire at midnight on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, unless extended by federal judges or Senate confirmation. Newsweek contacted Habba for comment via email on Monday Alina Habba speaks after being sworn in as interim US Attorney General for New Jersey, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, on March 28, 2025. Alina Habba speaks after being sworn in as interim US Attorney General for New Jersey, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, on March 28, 2025. Associated Press Why It Matters Alina Habba's temporary 120-day term as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey will end if there is no confirmed extension. Federal judges are weighing whether to reappoint her or name a successor—an unresolved decision that could affect leadership, ongoing investigations, and prosecutorial direction in the state's top federal office. What To Know Federal judges in New Jersey are meeting Monday to consider whether to reappoint Habba or select a new acting U.S. Attorney, with no final decision yet publicly confirmed. Habba was sued by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for false arrest, malicious prosecution and defamation after his arrest during a protest an immigration detention center in Newark on May 9. Habba dropped a trespassing charge against Barak that month. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has urged judges not to affirm her role. "The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job. Alina Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who has to go," he said on X on July 18. "She must be rejected by the Federal District Court judges who are considering whether to retain her." Nonprofit advocacy organization The Article III Project filed a House ethics complaint against Jeffries, following his social media post. What Are People Saying The Trump administrations top civil rights lawyer, Harmeet K. Dhillon, said on Monday: "Who's delivering results for the American people? Alina Habba is doing a great job indicting criminals and putting Americans first — which begs the question when someone is doing their job so well, why would a politician pressure judges to undermine her?" Senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker, the Democrats from New Jersey, said of Habba in a joint statement on July 2: "In her short tenure as interim US Attorney, she has degraded the office and pursued frivolous and politically motivated prosecutions. It's clear that Alina Habba does not meet the standard to serve the people of New Jersey." Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee who previously worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office, said Habba is unqualified for the job, and had no prosecutorial experience when Trump appointed her in an interim capacity in March, adding: "Habba has explicitly stated her goal to politicize the office where I served as a prosecutor, and as acting U.S. Attorney, she has already weaponized it against her perceived political opponents." What Happens Next The judicial decision is expected to later on Monday.
