Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.

But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Mexico will respond to Trump tariffs later this week, Sheinbaum says

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference Tuesday that Mexico will give its answer to Trump’s tariffs on Thursday or Friday.

"Our response to the tariff situation that may arise, we have to wait because we continue to hold dialogues," Sheinbaum said in Spanish. "It is the Mexico Plan, a plan to strengthen the national economy."

"It is not a conflict with the United States, but a strengthening of the national economy," she added. "We are always open to the world."

White House: Trump has decided on tariffs, 'perfecting it' ahead of announcement

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt teased the tariff announcement coming on Wednesday, but continued to give little detail about what they will entail.

"Tomorrow will go down as one of the most important days in modern American history," she said.

Leavitt said Trump has made a "decision and a determination" on the tariffs, but she would not divulge specifics from the podium.

"He is going to announce that decision tomorrow. I don't want to get ahead of the president. This is obviously a very big day. He is with his trade and tariff team right now, perfecting it to make sure this is a perfect deal for the American people and the American worker," she said.

House GOP 'trying to sort out' new role for Stefanik after Trump pulled her UN nomination

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans are "trying to sort out" what role Rep. Elise Stefanik will have in party leadership after the White House pulled her nomination to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

"Elise is a dear friend, trusted colleague. She's a super talent, and she brings, has always brought a lot to the table. And she stepped down from her conference chair role, and on her important committee assignments, she was in line to have a gavel on some of those, and the circumstances changed," Johnson said.

Johnson said since all leadership roles are currently filled, "we're trying to figure out some creative role for Elise to play."

Trump cited the House GOP's narrow majority as the reason for pulling the plug on Stefanik's nomination. Stefanik gave up her role as House Republican Conference Chair after she was nominated for the role shortly after the November election.
