Six years to the day after the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade took effect, the Trump administration announced that it plans to pull the plug on a deal widely viewed as a successful and stabilizing force across North America\u2019s three largest economies.
Instead of renewing the deal, a senior Trump administration official told reporters today, the U.S. will begin of a decade of negotiations on amendments to it.

One potential outcome of these negotiations is that Washington could reach separate, bilateral trade agreements, one with Mexico and another with Canada.
The move, which the administration had telegraphed for several months, nonetheless represented a stark reversal for Trump, who negotiated and signed the USMCA deal in 2018 after he pulled out of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Former CIA Director John Brennan<\/a> sued the Trump administration today, demanding a court order that would require officials to preserve records from investigations that he says are targeting him for \u201cphantom criminal conduct.\u201d
Brennan said in the lawsuit<\/a> that the records would be essential for him to mount a defense on vindictive prosecution grounds in the event of a future indictment brought by the administration. Such a defense, his lawyers said, would be supported by the more than 100 verbal or written statements that President Donald Trump<\/a> has made since 2017 lambasting Brennan and by the Republican president\u2019s directives to his Department of Justice to initiate cases \u201cwithout regard to factual or legal justification.\u201d
<\/span> NBC News<\/span>
\u201cTo fully consider those motions, the reviewing judge would need to scrutinize the motivations of the Justice Department officials who directed, oversaw, or undertook those actions to determine whether they violated Director Brennan\u2019s rights, and specifically whether they were motivated by a desire to vindictively prosecute him as an act of retribution,\u201d Brennan\u2019s lawyers wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington.

In his first public remarks on the Supreme Court\u2019s decision yesterday to uphold birthright citizenship<\/a>, Trump said this afternoon that \u201cwe\u2019ll work it out some way.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019ll take care of the birthright citizenship, because that was that was not meant for rich people from other countries. That was meant for \u2014 actually, it was meant for the babies of slaves,\u201d Trump said in North Dakota.
He added, \u201cI know they got it wrong,\u201d referencing the Supreme Court, but said it was OK given the victory they handed him in firing officials at independent federal agencies<\/a>.
Trump yesterday urged Congress to pass legislation codifying his executive order on birthright citizenship.
\u201cNo long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship,\u201d he wrote on Truth Social. \u201cThey will have my Complete and Total Support!\u201d
Trump previewed his July 4th speech on the National Mall today, saying he’ll be giving a lengthy speech amid a heat wave.

\u201cAnd by the way, on July 4th it\u2019s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I\u2019m going to go and I\u2019m going to make a really long speech, just to show that I can do anything,\u201d Trump said.
He added that the UFC fight held on the White House\u2019s South Lawn on June 14 \u2014 Trump’s 80th birthday \u2014 had rain forecast in the hours leading up to it. The event took place in front of more than 4,000 spectators<\/a>, including Trump.
In delivering remarks at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, Trump called him \u201ca man who I have long admired,\u201d citing the completion of the Panama Canal that Roosevelt oversaw.
\u201cAnd now China is trying to take over the Panama Canal, and we\u2019re not going to let that happen. OK, and that was not part of the script, because I don\u2019t really have a script,\u201d Trump said.
He added that he had a conversation<\/a> about the Panama Canal with an artificial intelligence hologram of Roosevelt in the new library.
Trump often brought up the Panama Canal<\/a> after winning a second term, suggesting that he could use military force<\/a> to take over the canal.
Trump today also brought up the war in Iran and military operations in Venezuela, comparing them to the Panama Canal.
Trump presented Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s Medal of Honor to his presidential library in a short private ceremony this afternoon, where he also participated in the ribbon-cutting to officially open the museum after an audience countdown, alongside Interior Secretary and former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Trump brought Roosevelt\u2019s Medal of Honor from the White House\u2019s Roosevelt Room.\u00a0
In his brief remarks, Trump joked about how he wants to award himself the Medal of Honor.\u00a0

\u201cI want to give one to myself, but they tell me I\u2019m not allowed to. My son over here \u2014 both of them \u2014 I said, ‘Fellas, I\u2019d love to give one of them to me. What have I done that to \u2014 do I deserve it?’ And they couldn\u2019t think of anything, so I\u2019m not happy with them today.\u201d
Trump toured the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, this afternoon ahead of its official grand opening on July 4.
Trump briefly spoke to the press twice about the museum. He said they did a \u201cfantastic job\u201d with the museum and said he was getting \u201csome good ideas\u201d for his presidential museum. He noted it\u2019s located in a \u201cpart of the country that I love,\u201d adding, \u201cI think they love me because I have the all-time record in presidential voting, and that\u2019s an honor, because they are the people that built America.\u201d\u00a0
The White House said that Trump visited the following exhibits: train exhibit, journal exhibit, campfire exhibit, AI President Theodore Roosevelt exhibit and “Man in the Arena” speech exhibit.\u00a0
Interior Secretary (and former North Dakota Gov.) Doug Burgum accompanied Trump on the tour and told reporters that Trump would be recording his voice reciting part of Roosevelt\u2019s \u201cMan in the Arena\u201d speech to be broadcast into that exhibit of the museum. Trump noted that you probably have to add on \u201cthe Woman in the Arena\u201d when you talk about the speech today.
When asked by a reporter if Vance is angry with Justice Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court\u2019s decision yesterday to keep birthright citizenship enshrined in the Constitution, he replied: \u201cWell look, do I think she made a mistake in the ruling? I do.\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t know how anybody can say that if a person who is an illegal alien, or a person for example who\u2019s pregnant and comes to the United States on a vacation, they have a baby and all of a sudden their entire family gets the benefits of American citizenship, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the framers of the 14th Amendment had in mind,\u201d Vance continued.\u00a0
Vance said the landmark 6-3 ruling needs to be changed.\u00a0
\u201cSometimes the Supreme Court makes mistakes. We\u2019re going to try to correct that mistake, but nobody\u2019s perfect, including the Supreme Court,\u201d Vance said.
In remarks at the\u00a0Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Vice President JD Vance praised Navy service members and the area’s congresswoman, GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans, who is facing a close re-election race.
“You’ve answered the call every single time we’ve given you a mission. You have accomplished it with pride and vigor,” Vance told the assembled service members, after saying, “The president of the United States has asked you to do more than I think any group of service members has ever been asked to do.”
In his remarks, the vice president reflected on his time in the Marines, from 2003 to 2007, and criticized former political and military leadership, saying, “We sometimes had leaders who would ask you all to go to war, but would not give you a clear mission on the other end.”
Today, Vance said, Trump “has given you a defined mission” and has “given you the tools to kick the hell out of the enemy and to come home safely.”
The vice president also told the crowd that Kiggans is “somebody who comes to work every single day and fights for you.” He called the congresswoman, who is a Navy veteran, “a rock star for our veterans” and “a rock star for our troops.”
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on “Good Morning America” earlier this morning to speak about a false Child Protective Services report that targeted him and his children<\/a> last week.
He described the details of the investigation and what his family went through, saying that it was \u201csome of the darkest times of my life\u201d and that he was unable to be around his children unsupervised until the report was proven false.
Buttigieg also said that there had been an outpouring of support and that \u201cactually people from the other side, people in some cases that I campaigned against, reaching out or speaking out in solidarity.\u201d He stressed that making false reports like this is considered a crime and that although the call was anonymous, he hopes that \u201cwhoever did this is found and is prosecuted, because this caused a huge amount of pain in our family.\u201d
On moving forward, Buttigieg said he plans to continue working, saying: \u201cThis is not going to slow me down, you know. Just this month, I\u2019m going to be in Iowa, going to be in Florida, going to be doing work here around Michigan.\u201d He also said the country must be able to agree that \u201cwhatever you think of somebody\u2019s politics, however you want to argue or fight about political issues, you leave somebody\u2019s children alone.\u201d
Trump will take his first flight today on the new Air Force One that was gifted to the U.S. by Qatar last year, a move that was heavily criticized.
“This will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built. … This is the first flight; we’re going to the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library opening and that will be very good, that’ll be a lot of fun, but to be honest with you, I’m excited about the first flight,” Trump said at Joint Base Andrews this morning before boarding the plane.
Asked how much refurbishing the plane cost U.S. taxpayers, Trump said, “Very little relative to what it would cost that we did it a different way \u2014\u00a0so this was a gift from a country that\u2019s treated us very well.”
“Frankly, we couldn\u2019t build a plane like this because we wouldn\u2019t be willing to spend the kind of money necessary,” he added.

The president will use the Boeing 747 to fly today to North Dakota, where he’s scheduled to take part in events for America’s 250th anniversary. On Friday, he’s expected to travel to South Dakota to speak at Mount Rushmore for another July Fourth event.
Trump unveiled the new jet last month at Joint Base Andrews. It’s designed in a red, white and dark blue color scheme, different from the previous model.
Both Democrats and Republicans criticized the U.S. acceptance of the plane from Qatar, raising ethical and security concerns. Aviation experts estimated to <\/a>NBC News<\/a> that the overhaul of the plane would cost more than $1 billion.
One year after President Donald Trump signed the law he dubbed the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill<\/a>\u201d on the South Lawn of the White House, it has begun reshaping the country \u2014 altering who gets help from the government and who goes without.
The most consequential legislation of Trump\u2019s second term reaches into nearly every corner of American life. It supercharges immigration enforcement, pouring billions into border security and deportations. It rewrites student loan rules<\/a>. It dismantles tax incentives for electric vehicles and clean energy. It creates a national school-voucher tax credit.
And at its core is a seismic shift: extending roughly $4.5 trillion in tax cuts disproportionately benefiting corporations and the wealthy over 10 years while cutting about $1.1 trillion<\/a> from healthcare and food assistance programs serving poor and working-class people.
It ultimately adds a projected $4.7 trillion<\/a> to the national debt over the next decade.

President Donald Trump earned more than $635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specializing in \u201cmeme\u201d coins bearing his name<\/a> last year, an amount that pushed his total crypto holdings<\/a> past $1 billion, according to a lengthy financial disclosure form he released yesterday.
The figures from 2025 \u2014 the first year of Trump\u2019s second term \u2014 were disclosed to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in a 927-page document<\/a>. By comparison, President Barack Obama\u2019s final disclosure form was eight pages, while President Joe Biden\u2019s was 11. Vice President JD Vance\u2019s form for last year is 17 pages<\/a>.
Trump\u2019s meme-coin earnings came on top of more than $236 million worth from additional crypto token sales, and an additional sale of equity worth more than $65 million associated with Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial. There\u2019s also more than $290 million classified as income from cryptocurrency wallets associated with World Liberty.
The $635 million was earned from a group called \u201cCelebration Coins.\u201d No digital footprint could be found for the group, and a representative for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment last night.
