Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry released a statement Tuesday after President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's press conference discussing the future of Gaza.

The statement said Saudi Arabia would not normalize ties with Israel without a Palestinian state -- this after Trump sought normalization between the two countries.

"The Foreign Ministry affirms that Saudi Arabia’s position on the establishment of a Palestinian state is firm and unwavering," the statement read.

The statement added that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has "clearly and unequivocally reaffirmed this stance."

The United States Postal Service announced a temporary suspension of "international package acceptance of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong" until further notice.

According to the notice, the suspension does not include letters or flats from China or Hong Kong; those items will continue to be accepted.

USAID staff have been informed via email that all direct-hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally as of Friday, Feb. 7, except for core leadership and mission-critical staff, according to an email obtained by ABC News.

Staff were informed of the decision in an email titled, "The Path Forward."

The news comes after Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, said he was "in the process" of "shutting down" the agency with the backing of President Donald Trump, as part of efforts to trim the size of the federal government and eliminate waste.

USAID, which stands for the U.S. Agency for International Development, oversees foreign aid, disaster relief and international development programs.

A federal judge on Tuesday night blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order that would require housing transgender women in male prisons, determining that the policy likely violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth – nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan – granted a temporary restraining order that blocks enforcement of the executive order and requires the Bureau of Prisons to house prisoners in facilities corresponding to their identifying gender.

The order also required the Bureau of Prisons to continue providing medical care to transgender inmates, including hormone therapy to treat gender dysphoria.

Three transgender women brought the lawsuit last month after the Bureau of Prisons notified them they would be transferred to male facilities following Trump’s executive order that required the federal government to only recognize two sexes.

According to the Department of Justice, 16 transgender women in total are housed in female penitentiaries managed by the Bureau of Prisons, which intended to transfer them to facilities corresponding to their sex at birth.
