Trump admin live updates: Trump says Hamas will release hostage Edan Alexander

House Speaker Mike Johnson unsurprisingly came to the president's defense over comments made by Trump saying children may have to buy fewer toys due to the ongoing trade war.

"We had to disrupt the system, and we're going to have the desired results," Johnson said during a gaggle with reporters in the Capitol.

The speaker added "whatever short-term disruption there is or discomfort, I think what [Trump's] trying to say there, I think, is that it will well pay off in the long run."

Trump's comments, made while answering questions at the end of his Cabinet meeting late last month, appeared to dismiss tariffs' impacts on American families, including on children's toys.

House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged his ambitious timeline to pass President Trump's sweeping legislative agenda may slide.

"Everybody remains on in close coordination on the urgency of the hour, and we are trying to get it [the bill] done. If it's not done before Memorial Day, will be shortly thereafter. But our timetable is on pace and we're going to get this done ASAP," Johnson said at the Capitol Monday afternoon.

Johnson downplayed any struggles or disagreements in trying to meet his Memorial Day timeline for House Republicans to pass the bill to fund Trump's agenda. Republicans remain apart on issues like SALT (the state and local tax) and Medicaid benefits -- major sticking points for members to ultimately support the package.

"It's not a setback at all," Johnson said, referring to House Ways and Means Committee and Energy and Commerce Committee pushing back their planned markups by a week.

The speaker concluded by declaring that the timeline for Trump's agenda bill is "on track" and "if anybody tells you otherwise, they're not in the room." These comments come after Johnson, Trump and other top Republicans met at the White House last Thursday.

On Monday, President Trump was asked by reporters about the new plan unveiled by his administration encouraging migrants to self-deport by offering a $1,000 stipend.

"So, we're going to have a self-deportation, where they deport themselves out of our country and we'll work with them, and we're going to try, and if they -- if we think they're good, if they have, you know, the people we want in our country, they're going to come back into our country. We'll give them a little easier route. But if they don't work and if we take them out after the date, then, they're never coming back, and that's the least of the problems they're going to have," Trump said in the Oval Office.

He said that as part of the program "we're going to pay each one a certain amount of money, and we're going to get them a beautiful flight back to where they came from, and they have a period of time."

ABC News has asked the White House about whether there is an end-date to the self-deportation offer, as the president implied in his comments.

Trump said that people who do not self-deport will "never get a path to come back in."

Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden said on Monday that she does not think the federal government will be as involved with women's health investments and research as it used to be.

Biden spoke at the Milken Institute Global Conference in a discussion about the think tank's new Women's Health Network, of which she has been named chair. The initiative will promote research and investments for women's health, according to a press release from the Milken Institute.

"I think this is really an opportunity for business, for private equity to, you know, it doesn't seem like the federal government is really going to be as involved as they were, in -- so we need to look at this as a challenge, but also as an opportunity. And I think we all have a part to play in every aspect of this," Biden said when discussing what excited her about the initiative.

Biden was seemingly referencing federal government cuts, which have heavily hit health research initiatives as well, although she did not call out the White House or any figures by name. The White House has defended government cuts, including to health research, as meant to reduce waste and fraud.

Biden later said that some of the opportunities she sees as ways to impact women's health in the U.S. are to break down "silos" between data that researchers have collected, as well as to get more women enrolled in clinical trials.
