CNN  —  The Republican-heavy audience that tuned in to hear President Donald Trump’s speech on Tuesday greeted it with tempered positivity, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Speech-watchers broadly said Trump’s policies would take the country in the right direction, with majorities saying the same across five issue areas that were the focus of the president’s speech. But fewer expressed strong confidence in Trump to help people like them, use his presidential power responsibly or provide the nation with real leadership.

CNN  —  The Trump administration’s frenetic policy changes appear to be making US businesses think twice about hiring new workers. New data released Wednesday showed that hiring by US private-sector companies fell sharply last month, much more than economists had expected. Private-sector employment increased by an estimated 77,000 jobs in February, according to payroll giant ADP. That’s a dramatic drop-off from the strong job growth of 186,000 seen in January and barely half the 142,500 net gain that economists had expected, according to FactSet estimates. “Policy uncertainty and a slowdown in consumer spending might have led to layoffs or a…

New York CNN  —  In a time when fast food chains are releasing deals to juice sluggish sales as inflation and tariffs threats weigh heavily on the American consumer, one company is bucking the trend: Taco Bell. The Crunchwrap Supreme and Mexican Pizza purveyor is forecasting 8% sales growth this quarter at stores open at least a year, far outpacing its fellow fast food rivals that have recently revealed a spate of warnings about a tough beginning of the year because of snowy weather and the economy. Part of the magic, according to Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant, is the…

CNN  —  The Trump administration has rejected a long-awaited plan for the reconstruction of Gaza endorsed by Arab leaders, saying the president stands by his own vision which includes expelling the territory’s Palestinian residents and transforming it into a “riviera” owned by the United States. “The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement Tuesday night. “President Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas. We look forward to…

CNN  —  Americans applied for British citizenship in record numbers last year, with a historically high volume of applications submitted in the last quarter of 2024 – a period coinciding with US President Donald Trump’s re-election. More than 6,100 US citizens applied for UK citizenship last year, the most since records began in 2004, when fewer than 3,000 Americans submitted an application, according to data from the UK’s Home Office.

New York CNN  —  Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. “We’re asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor who started the boycott, said in an interview with CNN. The boycott, which begins during the start of Lent, comes more than a month after Target made changes to its DEI programs and at a difficult period for the company as it faces an onslaught of tariffs in the middle of…
