Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as President Donald Trump&rsquo;s health secretary on Thursday (Feb 13) after a close Senate vote of 52-48. No Democrats backed him. Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican to vote against Kennedy.
The former presidential candidate has been appointed to oversee major health agencies, managing a massive budget of over $1 trillion and a workforce of around 80,000 employees.&nbsp;
However, this decision has raised concerns among lawmakers from both parties, who have criticized the candidate's history of making unsubstantiated health claims and expressing scepticism about vaccines.

US President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs that will affect all countries that impose tariffs on American goods. The move on Thursday (Feb 13) came ahead of his meeting with visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump said India has more tariffs than nearly any other country, Reuters reported.&nbsp;"India charges tremendously high tariffs," he told reporters.
In an escalation on trade issues, Trump further said that whatever countries charge the US, America will charge the same, "no more, no less".&nbsp;
"They charge us with tax and tariffs, it's very simple we will charge them with exact tax and tariffs," US President Donald Trump said.

However, a White House official said that the tariffs, which Trump put into motion via an executive action Thursday, won&rsquo;t take immediate effect, which is an intentional move to give nations time to potentially negotiate new trade terms with the US.

The move is aimed at matching the US' tariff rates on imports to the level that other countries impose on United States goods.
For instance, if India levies a 25 per cent tariff on US automobile imports, Washington would respond by imposing a matching 25 per cent tariff on auto imports from New Delhi.
Since Trump took office for his second term as the US president, he has imposed tariffs on several countries, like Canada, Mexico, and China.
