Kari Lake, a special advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), insisted that she was happy to put herself out of a job if it meant significantly downsizing the Voice of America and other agencies.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Lake if the U.S. Supreme Court would hear cases against President Donald Trump's administration.

Donald Trump Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins found herself desperately searching her memory on CNN for one trade deal the president has pulled off when asked about his boast in a Time magazine interview.

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," with host Dana Bash, the very talkative Rollins responded to a question about Trump's much derided "200 deals" boast that has since fallen apart by promising something might be coming soon.

"The president told Time magazine, quote, 'I have made 200 deals," Bash pointed out to her guest. "He didn't give us any details about what those could be, what countries he's talking about. Has he actually inked any trade deals and with whom?"

Rollins first pivoted to an earlier discussion about the price of eggs –– a hot topic in the 2024 election –– which led host Bash to interrupt with, "Let's focus on the trade and on the deals."

"Yes, for sure," Rollins replied. "On the deals, we have 100 countries that are knocking on the door, I believe. I'm not in the room, I'm not negotiating the trade deals, but my understanding is we should have several this week that are coming forward that are very, very close."

" China is a very important one," he quickly added. "Every day we are in conversation with China, along with those other 99 countries that have come to the table. Many countries have already flown to Washington and are meeting with [Commerce] Secretary Lutnick, meeting with [Treasury] Secretary Bessent, meeting with our USTR Jamison Greer. And there is a tremendous amount of progress on all fronts that we'll see again more this week."

ABC News host Martha Raddatz challenged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after President Donald Trump claimed that he had made 200 trade deals in his first 100 days in office.

"He said that he has made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals?" Raddatz told the secretary on Sunday. "Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?"

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) suggested former President Joe Biden was to blame for President Donald Trump's poor approval rating on ending the war in Ukraine.

"There are brand new polling numbers that we've got out today that the American people do not think President Trump is handling this well," Fox News host Shannon Bream told Kennedy on Sunday. "His job approval on handling Russia and Ukraine is at 36 and 39 percent, respectively."

The U.S. Department of Justice dubiously invoked a centuries-old law in directing immigration agents to carry out home invasion searches without warrants, an internal memo revealed.

USA Today—which obtained a copy of the March 14 memo issued by the office of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi—reported Friday that the Trump administration ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to pursue suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua into homes, sometimes without warrants, under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA).

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy claimed that President Donald Trump "upstaged" Pope Francis at his funeral over the weekend by meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"I think this is the takeaway from yesterday's funeral," Campos-Duffy said on Sunday. "Donald Trump upstaged the Pope at the funeral."

Reacting to new polling that shows Donald Trump's approval ratings are cratering, a longtime GOP insider claimed the embattled president's slide with voters will continue unless he makes major changes.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," GOP strategist Brendan Buck took issue with co-host Michael Steele who told the panel to slow down their enthusiasm over the president's growing unpopularity.

"Obviously it's just a snapshot, but I certainly don't think it's going to get better for him anytime soon," Buck countered.

"I mean, this is a president who absolutely believes in what he's doing and they throw around this word mandate a lot; they think they had a mandate to come and I'm, no actually –– I don't know that they actually did have a mandate to do that and every president says that they have a mandate," he added with a grin. "If he had a mandate to do anything, it was to address the cost of living and he's certainly not doing that."

"I think what's amazing in all of this polling is how much he has undermined the advantages he had going in," he elaborated. "He had a real advantage on the issue of immigration–– now he's underwater on immigration. That's remarkable and, of course, on the economy, this economy was ready to get going, it was going to be roaring if he had just gotten out of the way a little bit."

"Just keep things humming, especially in contrast to what we had been through under Joe Biden," he added. "Just stay out of the way, you would have been fine, and he's totally blown it."

'To your point, tariffs are just getting started. this is only going to get worse," he predicted. "You know, if anything is going to sort of check him, the guardrails are public opinion. So maybe he'll see some of this and realize that it shouldn't, he shouldn't go forward. But he's not shown himself to be somebody who, you know, recalibrates."

President Donald Trump is unique among “tyrants” — both in his cruelty and his “stupidity,” Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall writes.

“Measured by willingness and capacity to harm the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, wreak global economic mayhem and threaten nuclear annihilation, Trump is uniquely dangerous — and ever more so by the day,” according to Tisdall.

A decision by billionaire Elon Musk to restrict his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that he created so that he can tend to his ailing Tesla automobile company does not mean that the damage being done by the DOGE staffers will be coming to an end.

According to Guardian journalist David Smith, their work is not done and, with Musk out of the picture as the face of DOGE, things could get a lot worse.

Greenland's freshly elected prime minister begins his first official visit to Denmark on Sunday as US President Donald Trump eyes the Danish autonomous territory.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen leads Greenland's new coalition government, after his centre-right Democrats party won a legislative election in March. It will be his first visit to Denmark since taking office.

Right-wing US personalities who helped propel Donald Trump's 2024 electoral win have weighed in on Canada's upcoming election, with at-times misleading warnings about a range of political issues, including immigration.

These media figures often hold up Canada as a case study of a nation where core values like free speech are being purged, with arguments that often cite flawed evidence but may have reached a segment of voters ahead of Monday's election, experts said.

Stockpiling is the reflex response by firms to the imposition of tariffs, but with the rapidly-changing position of the Trump administration, companies are finding that it isn't so straightforward this time around.

Whether it's the luxury, electronics or pharmaceutical sectors, US President Donald Trump's unpredictability complicates the calculations of firms.

The White House Correspondents' Association staged its annual gala on Saturday in a muted celebration amid mounting concerns about press freedom under President Donald Trump.
