Trump 2nd term updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

The comments came amid turmoil as DOGE took over USAID offices last week.

President Donald Trump made good on his threats to impose tariffs on some of the U.S.'s trading partners, announcing Saturday that he will levy 25% tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico and 10% on Chinese goods.

Experts have warned that tariffs of this magnitude will likely increase prices paid by U.S. and Trump appeared to acknowledge that “some pain” might be possible in the U.S.

Meanwhile, the Senate Finance Committee announced it will meet Tuesday, when it is expected to vote on the controversial nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services.

Trump threatens tariffs after Colombia blocks repatriation flights

President Donald Trump posted threats against Colombia on his social media platform on Sunday after two U.S. military flights carrying undocumented immigrants were not allowed to land there. It was not immediately clear if all of the passengers were Colombian citizens.

Trump also said he had ordered his administration to place an emergency 25% tariff on goods coming into the United States from Colombia, while threatening to raise it in a week to 50%.

Additionally, Trump said his administration would issue a travel ban and immediately revoke the visas of Colombian government officials -- and those of all of the country's allies and supporters. The U.S. president further threatened to issue visa sanctions on all party members, family members and supporters of the Colombian government, and he said that he would enhance Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian nationals and Colombian cargo.

A U.S. defense official told ABC News that Colombia had granted the transport aircraft diplomatic clearances. When the planes were already on their way, Colombia said they would not be allowed to land, the defense official said.

Shortly after the social media post went up, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said that he would send his personal plane to retrieve his citizens from the U.S. He also stated that he would reciprocate tariffs imposed by the U.S.
