Day Three as President: Trump's Decisions
In the second part of an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump said that he would not impose tariffs on China for the time being.

Meanwhile, a US judge has temporarily blocked Trump's order to change birthright citizenship, which was scheduled to take effect in February.

The president also pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists as he signed another slew of executive orders in the Oval Office.
Gaza ceasefire: Palestinians await return of family members to 'open skies'
Palestinians in northern Gaza prepared camps for displaced families on Thursday, two days before they were expected to return to their areas in accordance with the timeline of a ceasefire deal agreed between Israel and Hamas.
In the open air surrounded by destroyed buildings, a group of men began erecting rows of white tents to welcome families planning to return to the north on Saturday, when the Palestinian militant group Hamas will release a second group of hostages in exchange for dozens of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
Many of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians expected to return to the northern Gaza Strip will return to homes destroyed after a 15-month Israeli military offensive that has devastated the enclave and killed more than 47,000 Gazans.
International Criminal Court chief prosecutor calls for arrest of Taliban leaders
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) said he is seeking arrest warrants for senior Taliban leaders in Afghanistan over the persecution of women, which is a crime against humanity.
Karim Khan said there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, and the chief justice, Abdul Hakim Haqqani, “bear criminal responsibility for the crime against humanity of gender-based persecution.”
Khan said that Afghan women and girls, as well as the LGBTQ community, are facing "unprecedented, unreasonable and ongoing persecution" by the Taliban.
President Trump orders declassification of files on former presidents Kennedy and Martin Luther King
President Donald Trump on Jan. 23 signed an executive order seeking to declassify files on the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, the nation's first Catholic president, his brother Senator Robert Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the famed leader of the Civil Rights era.
Rev. King led the nation's fight for civil rights before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968. After King's death, RFK gave an impassioned speech in Indianapolis on racial unity following Rev. King's testimony.
Each of these three murders occurred within a five-year period during the 1960s. Each was carried out by lone gunmen, according to public records. But the remaining, still-classified documents in the decades-old cases have been the subject of conspiracy theories and public interest.
