Trump dubs himself 'fertilization president' at Women's History Month event

President Donald Trump came up with a new nickname for himself while speaking at a White House event celebrating Women's History Month.

Touting his administration's efforts to expand access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, Trump called himself the "fertilization president."

"We're going to have tremendous goodies in the bag for women, too," Trump said Wednesday. "The women, between the fertilization and all of the other things that we're talking about, it's going to be great."

Trump then paused as people in the room broke into laughter.

"Fertilization," he said as people in the audience laughed. "I'm still very proud of it. I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's not bad. I've been called much worse and actually, I like it. I like it."

MAGA questions Judge Boasberg assignment to Signal lawsuit: 'Rigged'

President Donald Trump's MAGA base has expressed skepticism after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg—who presided over the migrant deportation case—was also assigned to a new lawsuit involving high-ranking Cabinet officials' messaging of military activity via the Signal app.

Boasberg has been at the center of MAGA fury this month as he has presided over the case involving the Trump administration's speedy deportation of migrants through his invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The act is a wartime law that grants the commander in chief authority to detain or deport non-citizens. The implementation was blocked in federal court and has thus sparked a contentious legal back-and-forth with Boasberg, a chief judge.

The Trump administration this week also faced intense scrutiny after a report in The Atlantic by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg said he was added to a thread on the encrypted app Signal that included Cabinet officials discussing military action against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

In the wake of the Signal scandal, the administration was hit with a lawsuit on Tuesday by nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight.

Canada's PM Mark Carney slams Trump's new auto tariffs

Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, has slammed Trump's new 25% auto tariffs, calling them "a direct attack" on the Canadian autoworkers.

Speaking in Windsor, Ontario, beside the Ambassador Bridge to Detroit, Carney pointed to the bridge as a symbol of unite between the U.S. and Canada.

"Ties that are in the process of being broken," he said.

Carney promised to create a $2 billion "strategic response fund" to boost Canada's auto sector and protect manufacturing jobs amid the tariffs, as he pledged, "We will defend out workers, we will defend our companies, we will defend our country and we will defend it together."

The new prime minister wasn't the only Canadian politician to criticize the tariffs.

"President Trump is at it again", Ontario's premier Doug Ford wrote on X. "His 25 per cent tariffs on cars and light trucks will do nothing more than increase costs for hard-working American families."

Ford added that he'd spoke with Carney and, "we agree Canada needs to stand firm, strong and united. I fully support the federal government preparing retaliatory tariffs to show that we'll never back down."

Hyundai CEO compares impact of tariffs to Covid-19, as the automaker announces its third US plant

Trump's 25% tariff on foreign-made cars, came days after South Korean automaker Hyundai announced a $21 billion investment in the U.S., including a $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana and its third American automotive plant.

The plant will produce steel for Hyundai's major existing automotive plants in Alabama and Georgia, as well as its new plant, also in Georgia.

Hyundai Motor CEO José Muñoz told Newsweek that the company had been thinking about opening the new plant since Trump's first term.

He compared Trump's tariffs to the devastating effects of Covid-19, saying that Hyundai had done better than its rivals because of its speed and flexibility.

"So I think this plant, again, is a good example of flexibility of this project," he said. "We've been flexible before. We will be flexible now. So if we have to accommodate for tariffs, we do our best to compete, like everybody else is doing."

Muñoz said that the company does not rely on production, or parts production, in Mexico and Canada, so it could avoid some of the harsher impacts of the tariffs.

"For us, we saw the opportunity in America. America has become, now by far, the largest market for group representing a welfare of our total global sales," he said.

Hyundai is a top seller of electric vehicles in the U.S., in direct competition with Tesla.

United Auto Workers union welcomes auto tariffs

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has welcomed Trump's 25% tariffs on non-US-manufactured automobiles.

Union president Shawn Fain said, "We applaud the Trump administration for stepping up to end the free trade disaster that has devastated working class communities for decades. Ending the race to the bottom in the auto industry starts with fixing our broken trade deals, and the Trump administration has made history with today's actions."

Fain said that he and the UAW would work with any politician, "regardless of party, who is willing to reverse decades of working-class people going backwards in the most profitable times in our nation's history."

However, he warned that union members needed "a strong National Labor Relations Board, a decent retirement with Social Security benefits protected, healthcare for all workers including through Medicare and Medicaid, and dignity on and off the job."

Trump officials' private contact information found online: Reports

Days after a journalist reported that he was accidentally included in a highly sensitive Signal group chat with top Trump administration officials, other reporters dug up the private contact information of senior national security officials on the internet.

German news outlet Der Spiegel reported Wednesday that it was able to find phone numbers, email addresses, and in some cases, passwords for top officials including national security adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Der Spiegel reported that many of the numbers and email addresses that were freely available on the internet still appear to be in use, and in some cases linked to social media accounts and LinkedIn profiles. The outlet found that some of the numbers are also linked to WhatsApp profiles and Signal accounts.

Wired magazine also reported that Waltz's list of Venmo friends was publicly available until Wednesday afternoon, when the magazine reached out about its discovery.

The report said Waltz's friends on the popular payment app include journalists, military officials, lobbyists and others.

Trump mulls tariffs deal on TikTok

Trump was asked during his Wednesday Oval Office press conference if he would consider reducing Chinese tariffs if they were able to reach a deal on TikTok.

"Sounds like something I'd do," he said.

The president has extended the deadline for the sale of the social media platform to a U.S. buyer, and has suggested he may do so again.

Trump defends Hegseth, claims he had 'nothing to do' with Signal scandal

Trump has defended defense secretary Pete Hegseth amid growing calls for his to resign after he shared detailed attack plans to a Signal group chat ahead of a U.S. strike.

When asked on Wednesday, if Hegseth should quit over his decision to share the sensitive details on the non-secure chat, which accidentally included an Atlantic journalist, Trump responded, "Hegseth is doing a great job. He had nothing to do with this.

"Hegesth? How do you bring Hegseth into it? He had nothing to do with it. Look, it's all a witch hunt..."

The president then went on to blame the app for the breach, saying, "I think Signal could be defective to be honest with you".

WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene tells reporter to 'go back to your country' over Signal app controversy

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told a Sky News reporter to "go back to your country" on Wednesday for asking questions related to the Trump administration's recent Signal group chat mishap regarding attack plans in Yemen.

The White House has been in defense mode this week after Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was accidentally sent attack plans conveying the specific timings of a United States strike set to occur against Houthi targets in Yemen.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth updated numerous department officials within a Signal chat that included Goldberg, including distinct times of attacks and how they would be administered. National security adviser Mike Waltz inadvertently invited Goldberg to the chat.

The situation has led to questions about why top U.S. officials were sharing purportedly classified information over a messaging app and how nobody seemed to realize that Goldberg was present in the chat.

Trump weighs in on if Signal group chat was classified: 'I don't know'

President Donald Trump faced more questions on Wednesday about the fallout from revelations that top national security officials discussed sensitive attack plans over a messaging app and mistakenly added a journalist to the chain.

The White House and Trump officials have maintained that the information shared via the publicly accessible Signal app with The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was not classified. However, Democrats challenged that claim, arguing it defies belief given that the messages reportedly outlined plans for an imminent strike on Yemen's Houthi rebels.

A reporter asked Trump, "Do you still believe nothing classified was shared?" The president responded, "Well, that's what I've heard. I don't know."

Auto tariffs go into effect on April 2

Trump's new auto tariffs are set to go into effect on the same day as his reciprocal tariffs, on April 2.

The president confirmed that the tariffs would be "permanent" for the rest of his term.

What deportation ruling means for Donald Trump's immigration plans

A federal appeals court panel denied President Donald Trump's request to have a restraining order overturned Wednesday, which stopped his administration from deporting suspected Venezuelan gang members without a court hearing.

The appeals court ruling doesn't completely stop Trump's ability to deport people, he just can't use the Alien Enemy's Act (AEA) as the justification with regards to the plaintiffs listed in the case. The restraining order is also only in place for a few more days.

The 2-1 vote in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals meant that U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg's Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) remained in place, after he argued that the immigrants the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had alleged were members of the Tren de Aragua gang were still entitled to due process.

Trump claims tariffs will reduce costs of cars in the U.S.

Signing the executive order to impose the tariffs, Trump said that the move "will continue to spur growth" and that consumers are "going to see prices going down."

Automakers source parts and materials from all over the world, while manufacture is often done across several countries, meaning they are likely to see costs rise.

Hillary Clinton finds rare common ground with Piers Morgan over Signal leak

Hillary Clinton said she found herself agreeing with Piers Morgan on X today, after he criticized Trump security officials claims that the sensitive military plans for an air strike on Yemen were not classified.

Morgan had shared some of the messages that were published by The Atlantic after its editor-in-chief was accidentally added to the Signal chat. The discussion included timings for the attack, the aircrafts that would be used and discussions of the "target terrorist."

"If you don't consider this to be classified info about imminent war plans, it *may* be that you're too partisan to recognise the truth when it slaps you around your tribal chops. If this had happened on Biden's watch, Republicans would have rightly gone berserk," Piers posted.

Clinton shared the post, adding, "Never thought I'd be retweeting Piers Morgan, but he's right!"

To which Morgan responded in jest, "Do you know much about classified info breaches?"

Trump announces 25% tariffs on all cars made overseas

Trump administration halts $11 billion in states' public health funding

Federal health officials said they are cutting $11.4 billion in COVID-19-related funds for state and local public health departments.

"The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and HHS will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago," the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement Tuesday.

Congress initially approved the funding for state public health programs through pandemic relief legislation, with the money first directed toward coronavirus testing, vaccinations, and addressing health disparities in vulnerable populations.

However, starting last year, states were permitted to use the funds for a broader range of urgent public health needs, including monitoring and testing for other respiratory viruses, providing a variety of vaccines for children and uninsured adults and strengthening preparedness for future health emergencies.

The statement said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expects to recover the money beginning 30 days after termination notices, which began being sent out on Monday.

Sen. Duckworth becomes latest lawmaker to call for Hegseth's resignation

Senator Tammy Duckworth has become the latest Democratic lawmaker to call for defense secretary Pete Hegseth's resignation over the Signal leak.

"He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

Judge refuses Trump administration's attempt to remove her from Perkins Coie case

Judge Beryl Howell denied the Trump administration's attempt to have her removed from presiding over a lawsuit challenging Donald Trump's executive order against law firm Perkins Coie.

In a stinging criticism of the administration and Trump's DOJ, Howell accused them of the "feckless impugning" of judges in a complaint that relied solely on "speculation and innuendo."

"When you can't attack the message, attack the messenger," the judge said of the attempts to remove her.

"This strategy is designed to impugn the integrity of the federal judicial system and blame any loss on the decision-maker rather than fallacies in the substantive legal arguments presented."

She added that the DOJ brief, sounded like "a talking point from a member of Congress rather than a legal brief from the United States Department of Justice, has no citation to any legal authority for the simple reason that the notion expressed reflects a grave misapprehension of our constitutional order."

Rep. Raskin: 'MAGA wants to make legal analysis a crime'

Rep. Jamie Raskin has warned that the Trump administration is "moving into very dangerous territory" by telling judges, "agree with us, and if you don't, we're going to impeach you."

"Trump is imposing an ultimatum on judges: agree with my bogus analysis of the law or face impeachment. Never has a judge been impeached over doctrinal differences—in other words, for doing their jobs," he wrote in a post on X, where he also shared a clip of his interview on MSNBC.

During the clip, he said that the proper procedure if you agree with a court ruling is to appeal to the next level up, such as the appeal court or even the Supreme Court.

"You don't unleash personal attacks on the judge, you don't try to impeach the judge."

Appeals court won't lift Boasberg's order barring deportations under wartime law

A federal appeals court has refused to lift District Judge James Boasberg's order blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C., which includes judges appointed under both Democrat and Republican presidents, voted to uphold the March 15 order temporarily prohibiting deportations under the centuries-old wartime law.

The Trump administration had deported more than 200 Venezuelans to El Salvador, without due process, after claiming they were members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

Judge Boasberg had ordered to halt all deportations under the act, and for all planes carrying Venezuelan deportees to return to the U.S. The administration continued with the flights despite the order and Boasberg is now working to determine if his order was violated.

The lawsuit was brought by American Civil Liberties Union lawyers on behalf of five Venezuelan migrants.

Estonia's Tsahkna says Putin playing with Trump, feels reassured by Rubio

Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna told Newsweek in an interview that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is "playing" with the Trump administration when it comes to a lasting peace deal with Ukraine.

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a deal that would "eliminate the use of force" in the Black Sea following talks in Saudi Arabia – a key step towards a broader peace deal that could end the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously raised concerns about the long-term viability of any deal with Putin, most notably during last month's high-profile argument with Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office. He said then that Kyiv had previously signed agreements with Russia that Putin ignored when he invade Ukraine in 2022.

Rubio downplays role in Signal chat leak, calls adding journalist a "big mistake"

Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the controversy over a Signal chat involving plans for a Yemen attack, downplaying his own involvement and stating that someone made a "big mistake" by adding The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the conversation. Rubio clarified that the chat was meant to coordinate communications and deferred to the Pentagon on whether the information was classified, as they had stated it was not.

Rubio emphasized that the Pentagon was responsible for the operation and assured that no information shared jeopardized the mission or endangered U.S. service members. He also noted that changes would be made to prevent such a mistake from happening again. Reflecting on his role, Rubio explained that he identified his contact and congratulated the team after the operation was confirmed, but reiterated that journalists should not have been involved in the chat.

NAACP criticizes Trump's executive order on election administration

The NAACP strongly condemned President Trump's executive order aimed at overhauling U.S. election administration, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional." The order, which includes controversial provisions like requiring voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, has been criticized by voting rights groups. NAACP President Derrick Johnson warned that it would disenfranchise millions of lawful voters and accused Trump of pushing the boundaries of executive power.

The order, which moves key election decisions traditionally handled by states to the federal level, threatens to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. Trump's order also targets mail-in voting, which he has baselessly claimed to be fraudulent. Legal challenges are expected, as the Constitution grants states significant authority over election administration. Johnson emphasized that the order represents a challenge to democracy itself.

On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding a Signal chat group for senior Trump administration officials, which accidentally included a journalist, and discussions about an upcoming strike on the Houthis took place.

Rubio, during a press conference with Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness, was asked by a reporter about Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska's remarks that "The White House is in denial that this was not classified or sensitive data. They should just own up to it and preserve credibility."

While explaining his presence in the Signal chat, which included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, Rubio replied in part, "Someone made a big mistake and added a journalist."

The secretary of state also said he's been "assured by the Pentagon" that none of the information at any point threatened the lives of service members.

Regarding whether or not the information was classified, Rubio responded: "Well, the Pentagon says it was not."

Dave Portnoy calls out Donald Trump for reaction to Signal war plans texts

Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy said President Donald Trump should not have downplayed the issue of members of his Cabinet sharing attack plans in a Signal group chat.

More messages, which The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was included in, were released Wednesday, including sensitive information on a U.S. attack on Houthi targets in Yemen. The Trump administration has insisted the discussions, involving Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other senior officials, were not classified.

Portnoy is a well-known Trump supporter, claiming he was recently approached to join the White House earlier this year if he gave up leading Barstool Sports. While not a central figure in the MAGA movement, he does speak to an audience that may not engage with traditional political news outlets.

"The reaction of Pete Hegseth and President Trump has been kind of to poo-poo it," Portnoy said in a video on X, formerly Twitter, telling his followers that this was not how to respond to a potential security breach.

White House goes on attack against The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg after Signal leak

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on the attack against Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, at Wednesday's press briefing after the Signal leak.

Goldberg was accidentally added to the Signal group chat of senior national security officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, discussing sensitive military plans for the U.S. airstrikes in Yemen.

Leavitt confirmed that Waltz had taken responsibility for accidentally adding the high profile journalist, and said the National Security Council were looking into the incident. She attempted to downplay the leak, saying that "no classified material" had been shared, despite the chat discussing the weapons that would be used, and when.

The press secretary then went on the offensive, attempting to lay blame at Goldberg for reporting on the story, which she called a "hoax."

"There's arguably no-one in the medias that loves manufacturing and pushing hoaxes than Jeffrey Goldberg," Leavitt said.

"Goldberg is an anti-Trump hater. He is a registered Democrat. Goldberg's wife is also a registered Democrat and a big Democrat donor, who sued to work under who? Hillary Clinton."

She also pointed to Goldberg's reporting on Trump's alleged criticism of Gold Star families and his alleged ties with Russia as examples of him reporting on "hoaxes."

Sen. Durbin believes Gabbard and Ratcliffe 'intentionally misled Congress'

Senator Dick Durbin claimed, in a post on X Wednesday, that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe "intentionally misled Congress" about the Signal group chat leak.

The Democratic senator, from Illinois, has criticized claims from the most senior members of America's national security team, that war plans that were accidentally shared with a journalist were not classified.

"It is outrageous to suggest that what was shared on this Signal text chain was not classified material. We are talking about an attack on another country and the possible endangerment of the men and women in the United States' military.

"This is a serious life and death matter and should be treated as such. I believe that DNI Director Gabbard and CIA Director Ratcliffe intentionally misled Congress yesterday in trying to make us believe that this was a casual conversation.

"This was a war plan, and American lives were at risk. We should deal with it in that seriousness. This matter must be investigated by the Department of Justice. To dismiss it, as the President tried yesterday, is incredible and not fair to our men and women in uniform."

Committee requests expedited Inspector General probe into Signal chat

The Atlantic released the full Signal chat between senior Trump administration officials on Wednesday, exposing how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed the exact times of warplane launches via the unclassified messaging app. The information, considered potentially classified, was shared before U.S. pilots were airborne.

Republicans are getting nervous about Florida's special elections

A number of GOP figures are expressing concern ahead of upcoming special elections in Florida, despite both contests taking place in strong Republican districts.

Much of the apprehension, including from Governor Ron DeSantis, is focused on state Senator Randy Fine, who is running for Florida's 6th congressional seat which was vacated by former Representative Michael Waltz so he could become President Donald Trump's national security adviser.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk's super PAC is also paying attention to the Florida special elections, donating to Fine's campaign as well as that of Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, the Republican candidate in the 1st Congressional District special election on April 1.

Bryan Piligra, a spokesperson for Fine's campaign, told Newsweek that the Republican will be "victorious" on April 1.

Newsweek has also contacted the Patronis campaign team, the Florida GOP, and the Florida Democratic Party for comment via email.

Donald Trump's approval rating is negative with nearly every pollster

Donald Trump's approval rating has taken a hit, with nearly every major pollster now showing the president underwater.

Trump's approval rating is a key indicator of his political strength as he navigates his second presidential term and prepares for future policy battles.

A shift in his numbers could influence support from Republican lawmakers, affect his ability to push through his agenda and shape the political landscape heading into the midterm election cycle.

Almost every pollster now shows Trump's net approval rating in the negatives, meaning more people disapprove of his job performance than approve.

That is in line with Newsweek's tracker, which today shows that Trump's approval rating stands at 48 percent, while his disapproval also stands at 49 percent. That means that the president's approval rating has decreased by 1 point since Friday, but his disapproval rating has remained the same.

Hegseth insists nothing classified was shared in Signal chat

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has insisted that nothing was classified in his group chat with fellow national security personnel, which also accidentally included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

Hegseth said that the Signal chat, which discussed America's air strikes in Yemen, as well as JD Vance and Hegseth's dislike of "pathetic" "European freeloading."

On X, Hegseth claimed that chat shared no time or methods for the attacks. This is untrue.

The defense secretary texted the precise method of attack, including the specific weapons platforms to be used, according to the screenshots shared by The Atlantic. On March 15, the day that the U.S. launched the air strikes, Hegseth messaged "time now... we are a GO for mission launch" and then laid out times for the F-18 launch and the strike windows, according to the screenshots.

"This only proves one thing: Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or an "attack plan" (as he now calls it). Not even close," Hegseth posted. "We will continue to do our job, while the media does what it does best: peddle hoaxes."

Democrats demand defense secretary resign over Signal chat exposure

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign following the exposure of sensitive information in a Signal chat about Yemen strikes.

"It is completely outrageous to me that administration officials come before us today with impunity, no acceptance of responsibility," said Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado. He insisted that Hegseth "must resign immediately" to restore accountability.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois also criticized claims that no classified material was included, saying the chat exposed "a weapon system, a sequence of strikes, and operational details."

Trump says 'we have to convince' people of Greenland to become US citizens

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that America will "have to convince" the people of Greenland to become U.S. citizens.

Trump said that the United States needs to take control of Greenland for its own security reasons, but he insisted Greenlanders are "eager" to become American citizens.

He added that even if they weren't, "I think we have to do it, and we have to convince them."

Trump's comments have sparked fury in Greenland and Denmark, and shock across most of Europe. A recent poll showed 86% percent of Greenlanders were against becoming America.

VP JD Vance and his wife, Usha, are scheduled to visit a U.S. military base on Greenland on Friday.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw jokes about emojis in Signal chat reacting to Yemen strikes

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas, made light of the use of emojis in a Signal chat regarding the Yemen strikes.

"I will note I always use fire emojis when I see terrorists getting killed," Crenshaw quipped. His remarks followed the chat where National Security Adviser Mike Waltz responded to the strikes with fist, American flag, and fire emojis.

CIA director says no assessment of U.S. war with Venezuela

During a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe stated that the agency has "no assessment" suggesting that the United States is currently at war with or being invaded by Venezuela.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard added that there are "varied assessments" within the intelligence community regarding whether Venezuela's government is directing hostile actions against the U.S., particularly through the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Greenland tourism business accepts, then declines Usha Vance visit

Greenlandic tourism business has said it changed its mind about welcoming the vice president's wife Usha Vance to their store.

Tupilak Travel wrote on Facebook that it had informed the U.S. Consulate that it did not want Vance to visit because of the "underlying agenda." The post ended with a phrase meaning "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders."

President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that the U.S. should control Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark. He told Congress earlier this month that it would happen "one way or another" because it would be good for national security.

However, polls conducted this year have shown that an overwhelming majority of Greenlanders do not support Trump's plan. In a poll, conducted between January 22 and January 26 for Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaqt, 85

Marjorie Taylor Greene grills heads of PBS, NPR as Trump suggests cutting funding

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, is grilling the heads of PBS and NPR.

The Republican has accused the publicly funded networks of publishing biased news, which she compares to the state-sponsored media of China.

"I want to hear why NPR and PBS think they should ever again receive a single cent from the American taxpayer," Greene said in a statement ahead of the hearing. "These partisan, so-called 'media' stations dropped the ball on Hunter Biden's laptop, down-played COVID-19 origins, and failed to properly report the Russian collusion hoax. Now, it is time for their CEOs to publicly explain this biased coverage."

The hearing, titled "Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable," comes as Trump suggested that public funding should be cut for PBS and NPR.

Trump says U.S. must 'convince' Greenland residents to become American citizens

In an interview on Wednesday, President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. needs to "convince" residents of Greenland to become American citizens. When asked if Greenlanders were eager to join the U.S., Trump admitted he didn't know but emphasized the necessity of gaining their support.

Trump reiterated his belief that the U.S. needs control of Greenland for national security reasons. His remarks, which have sparked frustration among Greenland's residents, come ahead of a planned visit to a U.S. military base on the Arctic island by Vance and his wife, Usha, on Friday.

Rep. Jim Himes says 'awesome grace of God' prevented deaths in Yemen strike chat incident

Rep. Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, expressed his concern on Wednesday about the potential risks posed by the Yemen strike plans discussed in a now-public Signal chat. During a hearing, he said it was by "the awesome grace of God" that U.S. troops weren't killed, highlighting the danger of the information being exposed to adversaries.

Himes warned that the Russian or Chinese governments could have intercepted the messages, potentially passing them on to the Houthis, who could have altered their plans to target U.S. military assets. "We could have been mourning dead pilots right now," Himes said.

The hearing, which also featured testimony from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, focused on foreign threats. This comes after The Atlantic released additional details about the Signal messages, which were accidentally shared with a reporter. While the Trump administration denied the messages contained classified information, Himes criticized the response to the incident, urging accountability.

"The proper response is to apologize, you own it, and you stop everything until you can figure out what went wrong," Himes said. He also condemned the administration's response, including attacks on the reporter involved.

Elon Musk probing 'embarrassing' war plan leak—Mike Waltz

National security advisor Mike Waltz has said that Elon Musk is investigating how a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal group chat with U.S. administration officials in which officials discussed sensitive military plans.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic, said in an article published on Monday that Waltz had mistakenly invited him to a chat with White House national security team members.

According to Goldberg, officials in the chat shared classified details about the Pentagon's plan to carry out military airstrikes against the Houthi militant group in Yemen, which has been attacking Western vessels in the Red Sea for more than a year.

The apparent security breach has drawn criticism from members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Lawmakers in the House of Representatives have called for an investigation into how the leak happened and how the administration will ensure similar incidents do not occur again.

On Tuesday, Waltz said on Fox News's The Ingraham Angle that Musk, who has been advising the Trump administration, was looking into the breach.

Gabbard addresses Signal chat controversy during House Intelligence testimony

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard addressed the ongoing Signal chat controversy in her opening remarks before the House Intelligence Committee. Gabbard referred to comments made by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who had "taken full responsibility" for the incident.

Gabbard explained that the mistake occurred when a reporter was inadvertently added to a Signal chat discussing imminent strikes against the Houthis, a conversation involving high-level national security officials. She assured the committee that no classified information was shared, although the conversation was "candid and sensitive."

"There were no sources, methods, locations or war plans that were shared," Gabbard said, emphasizing that the chat was simply a "standard update" provided to the national security cabinet and foreign partners.

Gabbard did not delve deeper into the matter, citing an ongoing lawsuit as a reason for her limited comments.

Lawsuit filed over Trump officials' Signal chat and recordkeeping violations

A new lawsuit has been filed by the nonprofit group American Oversight, accusing Cabinet officials involved in a Signal chat about attack plans against Houthis in Yemen of violating federal records laws. The group claims that the Trump administration's recordkeeping practices are inadequate and arbitrary, requesting federal courts to enforce better recordkeeping procedures.

The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in Washington, DC's federal district court, targets key figures in the chat, including Cabinet secretaries Pete Hegseth, Scott Bessent, and Marco Rubio, along with intelligence officials Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe. American Oversight argues that the use of Signal, an app that deletes encrypted messages automatically, violates the Federal Records Act.

The case, which has been assigned to Judge James Boasberg, is the first to raise concerns about the Signal chat in federal court. However, there are no immediate requests to expedite the case. The group's executive director, Chioma Chukwu, called the situation a "five-alarm fire for government accountability."

Trump's national security adviser downplays Signal chat revelations

Trump's national security adviser, Mike Waltz, sought to downplay new details that emerged from a Signal group chat about strikes in Yemen. Waltz posted on social media that the information shared in the chat did not include "war plans," emphasizing that there were no specifics about locations or intelligence methods.

The Atlantic had published additional messages from the group chat, which included a detailed description of the upcoming strike, naming the aircraft and drones involved. Waltz defended the information, stating that foreign partners had already been notified about the imminent strikes. He concluded by reaffirming President Trump's commitment to protecting America and its interests.

Trump administration denies political beliefs influence border detentions

The Trump administration has rejected allegations that travelers' political beliefs are being used as a basis for denying entry, deporting, or detaining individuals from Western nations. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a statement, calling such claims "baseless and irresponsible."

The French interior minister recently claimed that a French researcher was turned away after U.S. border agents found critical messages about the Trump administration on his phone. Another case involved Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Rhode Island doctor who was deported to Lebanon despite holding a valid U.S. visa.

CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham clarified that both incidents followed established policies and protocols. He emphasized that searches of electronic devices were part of routine efforts to detect contraband, terrorism-related content, and relevant information for visitor admissibility, pointing out that proprietary information from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Hezbollah-related material were discovered during the searches.

Donald Trump issues executive order for 'America's bank account'

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to overhaul how the federal government tracks and manages trillions of dollars in transactions.

Trump aims to improve how transactions are processed through the General Fund, which the White House describes as "America's bank account."

Newsweek has contacted the Treasury for comment via email.

Trump has made reducing federal spending and "waste" a main priority of his second term, with Elon Musk's Department of Efficiency (DOGE) overseeing major cuts and the dismantling of federal agencies.

According to government estimates, between $233 billion and $521 billion is lost annually to fraud and improper payments—an issue Trump hopes to address with his latest order.

Democratic victory in Pennsylvania special election strengthens Shapiro's position

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin hailed Tuesday night's victory as a significant win for state House Democrats, claiming it allows them to "stand up to Trump's mayhem in Washington." Democrat Dan Goughnour secured a decisive win in the special election, defeating Republican Chuck Davis in the Pittsburgh-area district. With this victory, Democrats maintain a narrow majority of 102-101 in the state House.

The win also bolsters the political standing of Gov. Josh Shapiro, seen as a potential contender in the 2028 presidential race. Martin emphasized that the victory would block attempts to undermine Shapiro's authority, while helping to advance policies aimed at expanding job opportunities, improving schools, and ensuring safe communities across Pennsylvania.

Signal chat leak reveals sensitive details shared by Trump's defense officials

The Atlantic released the full Signal chat between senior Trump administration officials on Wednesday, exposing how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed the exact times of warplane launches via the unclassified messaging app. The information, considered potentially classified, was shared before U.S. pilots were airborne.

The leak has raised questions about how sensitive details ended up on a chat that included Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. Hegseth has not clarified whether classified information was shared, only stating he did not disclose "war plans" during his travels in the Indo-Pacific.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent meets with 'Big 6' group to discuss tax cuts

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held a meeting with the "Big 6" group at the U.S. Treasury on Tuesday to discuss the potential permanent extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Episcopal bishop who clashed with Trump announces new books for young readers

The Episcopal bishop who sparked controversy with President Donald Trump earlier this year has signed a deal for two books aimed at young audiences. Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde's best-selling book, "How We Learn to Be Brave," will be adapted into a young adult edition and a picture book.

Penguin Young Readers announced on Wednesday that the young adult version, titled We Can Be Brave, will be released on Oct. 25. The picture book, I Can Learn to Be Brave, featuring illustrations by Holly Hatam, is slated for a 2026 release. The books aim to inspire courage in young readers, with Budde hoping to remind them that bravery is a skill learned over time, involving risks, mistakes, and growth.

Budde's original book gained attention following a January prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, where she addressed President Trump directly, urging him to show mercy to migrants and the LGBTQ+ community. Trump later labeled her a "Radical Left hard line Trump hater" in a social media post.

Vance adjusts Greenland visit amid tensions over U.S. territorial ambitions

Greenland and Denmark showed signs of relief on Wednesday after U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife adjusted their travel plans for a visit to Greenland. The couple, set to visit the island on Friday, will now focus on the U.S. Space Force base at Pituffik, located on Greenland's northwest coast, instead of attending a dogsled race in Sisimiut, as initially planned. This adjustment aims to prevent any potential conflicts with Greenland's residents, who have been angered by previous attempts by the Trump administration to annex the territory.

The change in itinerary follows backlash from both Denmark and Greenland, particularly after President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. should have control over the mineral-rich island. The revised visit also avoids the potential diplomatic misstep of traveling without an official invitation. While the visit emphasizes national security concerns, it still reflects the U.S. administration's ongoing interest in Greenland's strategic significance in the Arctic.

Greenland's government had already voiced displeasure about the visit, and tensions were further exacerbated by recent election results and ongoing coalition talks. Danish officials had previously described the visit as "unacceptable pressure" and have expressed concerns about U.S. involvement in the region.

DOGE cuts update today: Treasury plans 'substantial' layoffs

The U.S. Department of the Treasury plans to lay off a "substantial" number of employees as part of the Department of Government Efficiency's effort to shrink the size of the federal government, a department official said in a declaration included in a court filing.

The department is finalizing its plans in response to President Donald Trump's February 11 executive order that directed agency heads to "undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force," according to the declaration from Trevor Norris, the deputy assistant secretary for human resources for the department, first reported by Bloomberg.

"These plans will be tailored for each bureau, and in many cases will require separations of substantial numbers of employees through reductions in force (RIFs)," Norris wrote.

He added that "because RIFs are seniority-based, a RIF in any particularly competitive area will disproportionately affect reinstated probationary employees."

Rubio to focus on energy and immigration during Caribbean tour

Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Jamaica, Guyana, and Suriname this week to promote energy diversification and address illegal immigration as the Trump administration shifts focus to the Western Hemisphere.

Rubio's visit follows new U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil and threats of tariffs on nations that import it. He will also address ongoing security challenges in Haiti, though specifics on U.S. policy remain unclear.

Rubio's tour highlights opportunities for Caribbean energy independence as Guyana and Suriname surpass Venezuela in oil production.

Ukraine agrees to ceasefire on energy sites after U.S.-brokered talks

Ukraine will honor a ceasefire on attacks targeting energy infrastructure following a U.S.-brokered deal with Russian and Ukrainian officials in Riyadh, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday. He warned that any Russian strikes would trigger "strong retaliation."

The ceasefire is part of a broader 30-day truce proposed by the U.S., though both sides continue to exchange attacks. Russia claims it is complying with the pause, but Ukrainian officials report ongoing strikes on energy facilities.

Meanwhile, Russian forces launched a massive drone attack on Zelenskyy's hometown, Kryvyi Rih, overnight, causing significant damage to civilian infrastructure.

Musk's teen adviser tied to cybercrime gang before joining U.S. DOGE

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old technologist on Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team, once provided services to a cybercrime gang that boasted about stealing data and harassing an FBI agent, according to records reviewed by Reuters. Coristine's company, DiamondCDN, gave network support to the group known as "EGodly" between 2022 and 2023.

DiamondCDN's services helped EGodly securely host their site, which trafficked in stolen data. In 2023, EGodly bragged about hijacking phone numbers, infiltrating law enforcement emails, and swatting an FBI agent investigating them. Coristine's connection to EGodly has not been previously reported.

Despite this, Coristine now holds a "senior adviser" title at both the State Department and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), according to officials who saw his name listed in agency directories. Both agencies declined to comment.

Though the extent of Coristine's involvement with EGodly remains unclear, cybersecurity experts expressed concern that someone linked to a cybercrime gang so recently now has wide access to government networks.

Trump downplays Signal leak despite past criticism of Clinton

Trump and his administration are downplaying a Signal group chat leak that revealed military strike plans, a stark contrast to their harsh reaction to Hillary Clinton's use of a private server as secretary of state. Instead of focusing on the potential security breach, Trump and his team have directed their anger at Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was mistakenly added to the chat and reported on it.

Trump insisted that no classified information was shared, though Goldberg noted the chat contained "precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing." Despite Waltz admitting fault and taking responsibility, Trump publicly backed him, calling him "a very good man."

The administration's reaction contrasts with Trump's past statements about Clinton, whom he accused of putting national security at risk. Several officials who previously criticized Clinton's handling of sensitive information have remained silent on the Signal incident.

Donald Trump's executive order to change election voting: What to know

Donald Trump has issued an executive order to change some of the processes around voting in the U.S, to promote "free, fair, and honest elections."

The president has long spoken out about his worries and grievances about voter fraud, most notably after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, when he repeatedly claimed the Democrats stole it.

In December, after Trump won the 2024 election with a landslide victory, he said he planned to make changes to the way the U.S. votes.

"We're gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time," he said after accepting the Patriot of the Year award at a Long Island event organized by Fox Nation. "And we are gonna look at elections. We want to have paper ballots, one-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship."
