Americans who do not have a REAL ID, they will be able to fly after Wednesday's deadline, Noem told the House panel on Tuesday.

A 2005 law required states to comply with federal standards for driver's licenses -- and the deadline for implementation has been pushed off by three prior administrations.

Noem said that for those who do have a REAL ID, it will be travel as usual. However, for those who don't, it might mean extra screening time.

"If it's not compliant, they may be diverted to a different line [and] have an extra step, but ... will be allowed to fly. We recognize this is a security issue," she testified. "We intend to follow the law so we will make sure that it is as seamless as possible for the travelers need to get to stay on the intended itinerary."

Passports will also be recognized and will not require people to be additionally screened, Noem testified.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived at the White House for high-stakes talks with President Trump on trade.

Trump and Carney shook hands before heading inside. Trump did not respond to a shouted question on trade. The two leaders will soon hold a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office.

Just minutes before Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney was set to arrive at the White House, Trump lashed out at the country in a post on his social media platform.

He said that he cannot understand why America is "subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars [sic] a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things."

According to the U.S. Trade Representative's website, the U.S. trade deficit with Canada totaled just over $63 billion in 2024. It's not clear what Trump is referring to with the $200 billion figure.

"The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be, most likely, my only question of consequence," Trump said in the post.


"We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain. They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us!" Trump wrote.

The Trump administration removed NTSB Vice Chair Alvin Brown from his post Monday, White House officials confirmed to ABC News.

According to Brown's bio page on the NTSB website, he was appointed by former President Joe Biden and began his post in 2024.

Before that, he served as the mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, and was the first Black man to ever hold the position.

The move, first reported by Reuters, is the latest in a string of firings by the administration of officials at independent government agencies.
