Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

In remarks at the the National Prayer Breakfast at the U.S. Capitol, Trump took several minutes to speak about the plane crash over Washington's Potomac River last week.

Trump said it was "horrible" tragedy that should have "never happened." He continued to speculate about the cause, stating there should have been "proper control" and "better equipment." He also claimed the U.S. Army helicopter was flying too high. An investigation is ongoing by NTSB, which has not released findings about any cause behind the crash.

At one point he compared the collision between the plane and helicopter to two golf balls hitting each other at a driving range, and how rare that is.

"I think what is going to happen is we're all gonna sit down and do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new," Trump said. He added he would talk to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson about a bill for a new system.

Trump said when he uses his private plane, he uses a system "from another country" because his captain says the U.S. system is "so bad."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told embassy officials in Guatemala this week that it was "not our intention" to uproot families deployed overseas with USAID overseas, despite the agency issuing a 30-day mandate for their return.

"I know it's hard to ask for patience. I know it's hard to ask for trust," he said, according to a partial transcript of his meet-and-greet with embassy staff obtained by ABC News.

Rubio, who was tapped to serve as the acting administrator of the aid agency, also seemed to acknowledge the administration's haphazard approach to cutting USAID, saying it was handled "in a manner that we would have preferred to be different, but we're forced to do because of impediments that we would confront."

In the transcript, Rubio reveals that the ambassador to Guatemala "handed" him a list of USAID programs in the country that he said "align with our U.S. goals and our interests." That list was the result of an all-night scramble by staff who were directed to compile it shortly after the secretary arrived in the country, according to an embassy official.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will be meeting with Trump at the White House today along with a group of House Republicans to discuss the budget resolution, sources tell ABC News. 

This comes as the House is struggling to find a path forward on a budget plan.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, said on Wednesday the upper chamber will be plowing ahead with their own Senate-led package - a major blow to the House who wants to take the lead on budget reconciliation.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that "no soldiers by the U.S. would be needed" for his proposal to "take over" the Gaza Strip.

Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social network that Gaza would be "turned over to the United States at the conclusion of fighting."

Trump's clarification came as administration officials seemed to dial back the president's initial language about the proposal. The president appeared to be following suit, as Thursday's message was a departure from his tone Tuesday night, when he said the U.S. would send troops "if necessary."

He again said that Palestinians would be "resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region." Trump did not specify exactly where they'd be resettled, as Egypt and Jordan have said they remain opposed to taking Palestinians.

Trump added that they are working "with great development teams from all over the World" for reconstruction plans.
