US President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting since returning to office, with a focus on the billionaire “advisor” Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite not being a cabinet-level department approved by Congress, DOGE is on a mission to cut costs within the federal government. Critics are concerned about Musk’s influence and his attendance at the meeting, although the White House has defended his presence. The meeting also saw Trump emphasizing the successes of his administration and hinting at further cuts in federal agencies.
