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.

Cuba 'rejects' Trump's Guantanamo Bay migrant housing plan

The Cuban Foreign Ministry said it "rejects" Trump's decision to use Naval Station Guantanamo Bay as a migrant facility, warning that altering the stability could cause serious consequences.

"It is a demonstration of the brutality with which that government is acting to supposedly correct problems created by the economic and social conditions of that country, the government's own management and its foreign policy, including hostility towards countries of origin," the ministry said in a statement.

The "irresponsible use" of the military installation "would threaten peace and lend itself to errors, accidents and misinterpretations that could alter stability and cause serious consequences," the statement added.

Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to permit the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to use Guantanamo Bay to house up to 30,000 migrants.
