Trump News Now: What’s Happening in July 2026

July 2026 is shaping up to be an incredibly intense month for the Trump administration, dominated by a major military standoff in the Middle East, a massive economic setback in the courts, and highly anticipated government disclosures.

The most critical developments happening right now include:

1. Escalating War of Words and Blockade with Iran

Following the collapse of a brief, weeks-long interim peace deal, President Trump has drastically ramped up hostilities with Iran:

  • The Blockade and Strike Threats: The US has reimposed its naval blockade around Iran. In recent interviews, Trump issued stark ultimatums, warning that if Iran does not agree to a permanent deal, the US military will begin targeting their core civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
  • Domestic Backlash: In Washington, Senate Democrats have reacted by blocking the advancement of the crucial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Led by Chuck Schumer, they are protesting Trump’s aggressive unilateral military actions and his bypass of the recently passed war powers resolution intended to force a ceasefire.

2. $81 Billion Tariff Refund Hit

The administration’s hallmark economic policy has suffered a historic blow following a Supreme Court ruling that declared a major portion of Trump’s unilateral tariffs illegal.

  • The Fiscal Damage: Newly released budget data reveals that the US Treasury has been forced to pay back a staggering $81 billion in tariff refunds to importing companies so far this fiscal year (mainly paid out in May and June).
  • Budget Impact: Rather than closing the trade deficit as promised, the forced refunds have caused the federal deficit to expand to $1.367 trillion for the first nine months of the fiscal year.

3. The “PURSUE” UAP (UFO) Disclosures

In one of the most unusual ongoing initiatives of this administration, the Department of War released its fourth major tranche of records on July 10, 2026, under the PURSUE initiative.

  • Triggered by a direct presidential directive to bring transparency to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), this latest release includes gigabytes of previously classified government documents and flight videos detailing historical encounters with unidentified flying objects.

4. Rollbacks on National Monuments

On the domestic front, Trump signed new presidential proclamations on July 13, 2026, targeting public lands:

This follows his May recision of older executive orders governing off-road vehicles, aiming to reopen protected public lands to more commercial, recreational, and state-level management.

He officially modified the boundaries and management guidelines of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah.

Trump News Now: What’s Happening in June 2026

June 2026 was a highly consequential month for the Trump administration, marked by landmark Supreme Court decisions, a historic Senate rebuke over military actions in Iran, and significant executive actions on technology and agriculture.

The major developments from June 2026 include:

1. Landmark Supreme Court Rulings: One Major Victory, One Historic Defeat

The Supreme Court handed down two of the most anticipated rulings of the term, deeply impacting the administration’s policy goals:

  • The Birthright Citizenship Defeat (Trump v. Barbara – June 30): In a historic 6-to-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship via executive order. The Court ruled that children born on American soil to undocumented or temporarily present parents are indeed “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment.
  • The Executive Power Victory (Trump v. Slaughter – June 29): In another 6-to-3 ruling, the Court significantly expanded presidential authority by effectively overturning the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent. This ruling gives the president much broader power to fire heads of independent federal agencies, sparking intense backlash from civil service advocates who called the decision a “dagger” to independent governance.

2. Senate Rebuke and Foreign Policy Shifts

  • Senate War Powers Resolution (June 23): The U.S. Senate delivered a symbolic but politically painful rebuke to Trump by passing a war powers resolution (50-48) to halt unauthorized military hostilities against Iran. Four Republicans broke ranks to vote with Democrats. Despite the rebuke, JD Vance was dispatched to Switzerland to negotiate a potential peace settlement to restore freedom of navigation in the region.
  • Pressuring Israel (June 4): Reports surfaced that Trump had directly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call to begin withdrawing Israeli troops from southern Syria and Lebanon, warning that the military presence was risking further regional escalation.

3. Tech and Agriculture Executive Actions

  • Quantum Superpower Push (June 22): Trump signed Executive Order 14413, “Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation”. The order updates the National Quantum Strategy, directing federal agencies to accelerate quantum computing development to bolster national security and economic growth.
  • Agricultural Emergency Declaration (June 29): Addressing disrupted global supply chains, Trump signed a proclamation declaring an agricultural emergency and temporarily suspended anti-dumping and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco to help ease costs for American farmers.
