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

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he looks forward to “redrawing” the map in the Middle East when he meets with Trump in Washington on Tuesday.

“Our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. But I believe that working closely with President Trump, we can redraw it even further and for the better,” Netanyahu said Sunday before departing for the U.S.

Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu will be his first with a foreign leader since his inauguration, and the prime minister said that is “telling.”

“I think it’s a testimony to the strength of the Israeli-American alliance. It’s also a testimony to the strength of our personal friendship,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said the two leaders will discuss Israel’s war with Hamas, achieving the release of hostages and “dealing with the Iranian terror axis in all its components,” which he said threatens peace in the region and the world.

The Senate Finance Committee will meet Tuesday at 10 a.m. to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services.

The committee is expected to vote on the nomination, a critical step before Kennedy’s nomination can come to a vote by the full Senate.

One no vote from Republicans on the committee would keep Kennedy’s nomination from being reported favorably out the committee to go to the Senate floor. GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, a member of the panel and a physician, has publicly expressed skepticism about Kennedy.

Kennedy faced nearly eight hours of questioning from two Senate committees last week in confirmation hearings.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Trump’s tariffs Saturday evening by announcing the country will implement 25% tariffs on $155 billion of U.S. goods.

"This includes immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods effective Tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of American products in 21 days," the prime minister said.

Trudeau encouraged Canadians to read labels at the grocery store and choose "Canadian rye over Kentucky bourbon," forgoing orange juice from Florida and "changing summer vacation plans" to visit places within Canada.

"We will get through this challenge," Trudeau said.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has responded to President Donald Trump's move to impose 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports to the U.S.

In a lengthy statement in Spanish on social media platform X, Sheinbaum said she has instructed officials in her government to implement Plan B, "which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico's interests."

The message did not provide any further details about the tariffs.

Sheinbaum said Mexico does not want confrontation with the U.S.

"We start from collaboration between neighboring countries. Mexico not only does not want fentanyl to reach the United States, but anywhere. Therefore, if the United States wants to combat criminal groups that traffic drugs and generate violence, we must work together in an integrated manner."

She proposed establishing a joint U.S.-Mexico working group, "with our best public health and security teams."

A fact sheet the White House sent out laying out the rationale for the tariffs alleged that the Mexican government was working directly with drug cartels.

"Mexican drug trafficking organizations have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico," the fact sheet stated. "The government of Mexico has afforded safe havens for the cartels…This alliance endangers the national security of the United States."

In a withering response to that charge, Sheinbaum said: "We categorically reject the White House's slander of the Government of Mexico for having alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention to interfere in our territory."
