President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order halting federal funds for schools that require students to be vaccinated against coronavirus before attending classes in person. This order aims to prevent schools with COVID vaccine mandates from receiving federal funding. The decision to vaccinate should be left up to the parents, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Currently, Covid vaccines are not required in K-12 schools across the country.
Trump had previously pledged to strip funding from schools that mandate vaccines and masks for students. There were concerns about funding for schools in states that require vaccinations for diseases like measles and polio, although Trump clarified that he was referring specifically to COVID vaccines. His health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is known for advocating for vaccine safety and closer monitoring of vaccine side effects.
In addition to the executive order regarding schools, Trump also signed an order establishing a new energy council to increase domestic oil and gas production. He mentioned plans to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and praised a speech by Vice President JD Vance in Europe. Trump also commented on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, indicating that the outcome depends on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Overall, Trump’s recent actions reflect his administration’s stance on COVID vaccines and energy production, as well as his diplomatic engagements with other world leaders.
