Under Trump, Uncle Sam is becoming an active investor at a scale not seen outside war or major crises 1/2
PUBLISHED SAT, JUL 26 20257:29 SPENCER KIMBALL
KEY POINTS
• President Donald Trump is personally wielding a golden share over U.S. Steel.
• The Pentagon bought a $400 million equity stake in rare-earth miner MP Materials.
• These stakes could serve as models for more intervention by the Trump administration in industry.
The Trump administration has taken direct stakes in companies on a scale rarely seen in the U.S. outside wartime or economic crisis, pushing a Republican Party that traditionally championed free-market capitalism to embrace state intervention in industries viewed as important for national security.
Japan’s Nippon Steel agreed to give President Donald Trump a “golden share” in U.S. Steel as a condition for the two companies’ controversial merger. Trump now personally wields sweeping veto power over major business decisions made by the nation’s third-largest steel producer.
“You know who has the golden share? I do,” Trump said at a summit on artificial intelligence and energy in Pittsburgh on July 15.
The president’s golden share in U.S. Steel is similar to nationalizing a company but without any of the benefits that a company normally receives, such as direct investment by the government, said Sarah Bauerle Danzman, an expert on foreign investment and national security at the Atlantic Council, a think tank focused on international affairs.
But the Trump administration demonstrated earlier this month that it is also willing to buy directly into publicly traded corporations. The Department of Defense agreed to purchase a $400 million equity stake in rare-earth miner MP Materials
, making the Pentagon the company’s largest shareholder.
This level of support by the federal government for a mining company is unprecedented, said Gracelin Baskaran, an expert on critical minerals at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“This is the biggest public-private cooperation that the mining industry has ever had here in the United States,” Baskaran said. “Historically, DOD has never done equity in a mining company or a mining project.”
Trump’s unique hold over the Republican Party gives him the ability to intervene in companies on a scale that would be difficult politically for a Democratic president, Danzman said.
“The Democrat would have been accused of being a communist and a lot of other Republicans probably would not have felt comfortable moving in this particular direction because of their greater commitment to market principles,” Danzman said. Trump is expanding the range of what is possible in the U.S. in terms of state intervention in markets, she said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
More state investments likely
More interventions could be on the horizon as the Trump administration develops a policy to support U.S. companies in strategic industries against state-backed competition from China.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in Aprilthat theU.S. government might need to make an “equity investment in each of these companies that’s taking on China in critical minerals.” The Pentagon’s investment in MP Materials is a model for future public-private partnerships, CEO James Litinsky said.
“It’s a new way forward to accelerate free markets, to get the supply chain on shore that we want,” Litinsky told CNBC. The U.S. government is helping the mining industry fight “Chinese mercantilism,” the CEO said.
Meanwhile, the golden share in U.S. Steel is a potential model for foreign direct investment “transactions that really affect our national security but where it’s going to be great for our economic growth,” Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., said in a May interview with CNBC.
“Having taken a stake in US Steel and MP, we’re now left to wonder where this administration will find its next investment,” Don Bilson, an analyst at Gordon Haskett, wrote in a note to clients earlier this month.

Trump proposed in January that the U.S. should take a 50% stake in social media app TikTok as part of a joint venture. China’s ByteDance is required under a recently passed law to divest TikTok or the platform will be banned in the U.S. Trump extended ByteDance’s compliance deadline until Sept. 17.
Past precedent
The U.S. has a long history of intervening in industries, particularly where national defense is concerned, said Mark Wilson, a historian at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte,who studies the military-industrial complex.
But past interventions were often temporary and typically happened during war, economic crisis or took the form of bailouts to prevent a major player in a critical industry from going bankrupt.
The U.S. government bought a majority stake in General Motors to prevent the automaker from collapsing in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, ultimately selling off its sharesat a loss to the taxpayer. In the 1970s, defense giant Lockheed and automaker Chrysler received government bailouts.
During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson nationalized the railroads, but he returned them to private ownership after the conflict. The Roosevelt administration made sweeping interventions during the Great Depression and World War II, from establishing the Tennessee Valley Authority to making big investments in the nation’s manufacturing capacity.
China looms large
The U.S. is not fighting an economic crisis or war today, but the return ofgreat power competition with Russia and China and the supply chain disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic have led to more nationalistic economic policies, said UNC’s Wilson.
The U.S. has increasingly recognized that China’s economic model is based on manufacturing overcapacity that dumps products “onto global markets in ways that make it hard for other markets to compete,” Danzman said.
The threat posed by China’s dominance of the rare-earth supply chain became apparent in April when Beijing imposed export restrictions against the U.S., Baskaran said. Within weeks, automakers warned they would have to halt production due to a rare-earth shortage, forcing the U.S. back to the negotiating table with Beijing, she said.
“The historical moment we’re in does seem to be one where there is this reassessment of assumptions of the previous generation about the efficacy of marketsand free trade to solve all our problems in national security,” Wilson said.
The question is whether state intervention can solve the failure of the free market to address national security concerns in industries like rare earths, Danzman said.
“When you step in to try to address one of these market failures with this kind of government intervention, you can have a cascade of new market failures,” she said. “You’re distorting the market more.”

Federal Immigration Judges Abruptly Fired Over Email Lash Out at President Trump Over Their Terminations (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila Jul. 25, 2025
Federal immigration judges fired by the Trump Administration over e-mail this monthlashed out at Trump in an interview with CBS Evening News.
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired or resigned since President Trump took office this year.
In July, 20 immigration judges were fired.
Three of the fired judges – George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza – spoke to CBS about their terminations.The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.
“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”
“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”
“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”
Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.
WATCH: Excerpt from CBS News:
George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza were all federal immigration judges fired this month by email. The three ruled on thousands of immigration cases in Chicago and Boston.
Pappas served as an immigration judge in Boston until this week, overseeing more than 2,000 cases during his two years on the bench. Peyton led Chicago’s immigration court for nearly nine years, hearing thousands of cases until she was abruptly fired over the 4th of July weekend.
Peyton oversaw Espinoza, who was appointed in 2023 and decided more than 1,000 cases in the last fiscal year, double the average for immigration judges.
Peyton told CBS News she received no reason for her firing. Immigration judges are under the authority of the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.

Federal Judges Undermine National Security in Trump Administration Battle with Harvard University 1/2
By Antonio Graceffo Jul. 26, 2025
The Trump administration has launched a sweeping investigation into Harvard University, citing a range of national security and compliance concerns related to its foreign visa holders. Central to the inquiry are allegations that theuniversity failed to report misconduct by foreign students, allowed antisemitic harassment to persist,maintained improper ties with hostile foreign governments, and neglected to enforce visa regulations.
The investigation, led by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, covers all Harvard-affiliated visa holders, including F-1 student visas as well as B-1 (business), B-2 (tourist), and J-1 exchange visitor visas. Authorities are closely examining Harvard’s compliance with the Exchange Visitor Program, which permits the university to sponsor short-term visas for international instructors, researchers, and certain students.
As part of the inquiry,Harvard has been ordered to turn over recordsrelated to its visa sponsorships, and federal officials may interview university staff and current visa holders. Additional concerns cited by investigators include failures in visa oversight, a rise in campus crime,and millions of dollars in undisclosed foreign funding.
The battle between the Trump administration and Harvard has been ongoing for several months, with federal judges intervening on behalf of the university, slowing the process, and threatening national security. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested information from Harvard regarding foreign students involved in illegal or violent activity, threats to others, or actions disrupting campus life.
A letter dated April 16, 2025, specifically asked for disciplinary records related to protests, threats, or obstruction of the learning environment.Harvard submitted incomplete data covering only three students, too limited for DHS to evaluate, and ignored a follow-up request from the Department’s Office of General Counsel. The administration argues that Harvard’srefusal to provide this information poses a national security risk, as the federal government depends on such disclosures to ensure visa compliance.
Officials further allege that Harvard has failed to address antisemitic harassment on campus. A joint task force reported widespread discrimination, intimidation, and threats targeting Jewish students, with little intervention from university leadership. Harvard’s own 2025 internal study found that nearly 60 percent of Jewish students experienced bias, stereotyping, or discrimination based on their views of current events.
The administration has alsoraised concerns about Harvard’s ties to foreign governments, particularly China and Iran. From 2019 to 2024, Harvardhosted membersof the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), aChinese paramilitary groupsanctioned for its role in the Uyghur genocide. Despite XPCC’s 2020 designation on the U.S. Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals List, Harvard’s China Health Partnershipcontinued hosting events with XPCC officials, which were publicized in Chinese state media.

Federal authorities also point to collaborations between Harvard researchers and Chinese institutions tied to thePeople’s Liberation Army.
Theseinclude DARPA-funded workwith Tsinghua University on AI-related materials, joint development of surveillance-capable microrobots with Zhejiang University, and physics research co-authored with faculty from the National University of Defense Technology,which falls under China’s Central Military Commission.
In 2023, a Harvard professor co-authored at least six papers with researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University’s State Key Laboratory for Strength and Vibration of Mechanical Structures. Additionally,Harvard researchers took part in at least four projects from 2020 to 2024 funded by Iranian governmentinstitutions, including the Iranian National Science Foundation.
Officialsalso cite past security incidents involving Harvard affiliates. Professor Charles Lieber, without the university’s knowledge, served as a strategic scientist at Wuhan University of Technology while participating in China’s Thousand Talents Plan, all while receiving over $15 million in U.S. research grants. In another case, PLA Lieutenant Ye falsely claimed to be a student on her J-1 visa while continuing military service and sending U.S. research data to China.
From 2013 to 2020, Harvard received nearly $94 million in donations from China, more than any other U.S. university, and over $18 million more in 2023 alone,without disclosing donor identities. The administration argues that such financial ties raise serious transparency and influence concerns.
Officials further point to a breakdown in campus security. Between 2022 and 2023, crime at Harvard rose 55 percent, with aggravated assaults up 195 percent and robberies up 460 percent. The administration claims this reflects broader failures in governance, particularly regarding oversight of international students.
They also argue thatHarvard either fails to keep adequate disciplinary records or does not monitor foreign student conduct seriously. This lack of transparency, they contend, undermines the government’s ability to enforce immigration rules and safeguard national security.
The standoff between the Trump administration and Harvard escalated in April, when the administration froze more than $2 billion in federal research grants after Harvard refused to comply with directives from the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. On May 22, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification,blocking new foreign student enrollment and requiring existing students to transfer or risk losing legal status.
Harvard sued to challenge the SEVP revocation on May 23, and afederal judge immediately issued a temporary restrainingorder blocking DHS enforcement. On May 28, DHS issued a Notice of Intent to Withdraw the SEVP certification via a separate administrative process. Then, on June 4, President Trump issued a proclamationbarring foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard, citing national security concerns.
Between June 20 and 23, federal courts issued preliminary injunctions blocking both the SEVP termination and the presidential proclamation, preserving the status quo while litigation proceeds.On June 23, the State Department launched a new investigation into Harvard’s Exchange Visitor Program, requiring expedited document production and enhanced social media screening for visa applicants.
Harvard’s SEVP certification remains in place under court protection, allowing continued enrollment of international students and issuance of visa documents. However, the legal battle continues, with federal agencies pursuing further administrative reviews and investigations. The broader conflict between Harvard and the Trump administration remains unresolved.
