Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.
The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.
Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.
"The president is involved in very complex and high-level negotiations of great consequence to both the United States and the state of Israel, and we look forward to working with our allies, our counterparts, both diplomatically and militarily, to look at all option," he said.

Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have been working at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The DOGE representatives have access to payment and contracting systems but have not been given access to databases that include the identifiable personal health information of enrollees, the sources said.
CMS provides health coverage to more than 160 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed officials at the AASHTO Washington Briefing attendees Wednesday afternoon, expressing a desire for "aggressive change" and outlining some of the plans he has for the Transportation Department, particularly in regard to working with DOGE to upgrade aviation systems that was announced today.
"We're going to remake our airspace, and we're going to do it quickly, and we have the support of the Congress, I think, right now to say, you know what, we're using, like 1960s, World War II technology in much of the components of the airspace," Duffy said. "We're going to upgrade it and make sure that America has the most innovative, technologically advanced air system, air traffic control system. That's going to make it safer, and it's going to make it more efficient.”
Duffy said he spoke with Musk Tuesday, calling him a "pretty remarkable guy" who "thinks differently than … probably a lot of us."
He also spoke about the investigation the DOT will have to examine military helicopter operations, improve safety and address air traffic control shortages.
Duffy said the department will consider whether military helicopters should be restricted to different times of the day -- or whether they should be flown at all.
"Get in a damn suburban and drive you don't need to take a helicopter. We need a whole upgrade of the airspace," he said.

Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes in women's sports Wednesday afternoon, telling the crowd, "The war on women's sports is over," and fulfilling a promise that was at the center of his 2024 campaign.
"We've gotten the woke lunacy out of our military. And now we're very importantly getting it out of women's sports," he said in his opening remarks.
The order will establish sweeping mandates on sex and sports policy and will direct federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, to interpret federal Title IX rules as prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports categories, according to a White House document on the executive order obtained by ABC News.
