Trump admin updates: White House asks court to stay order to ground deportation flights

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he had a "productive conversation" with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and suspended the 25% tariff on electricity exports to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.

"Secretary Lutnick agreed to officially meet with Premier Ford in Washington on Thursday, March 13 alongside the United States Trade Representative to discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline," Ford's office said in a post on X Tuesday.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told food industry leaders in a closed-door meeting Monday that he wants them to remove artificial color additives from their products by the end of his first term, according to a memo describing the meeting, which was obtained by ABC News.

At the Washington gathering, which included the CEOs of Kellogg's, Smucker's, and General Mills, Kennedy said it was a top priority of the Trump administration to rid America's food of the dyes, wrote Melissa Hockstad, President and CEO of the Consumer Brands Association, a trade group, who penned the memo.

Hockstad addressed the memo to "Consumer Brands Member CEOs."

"The Secretary made clear his intention to take action unless the industry is willing to be proactive with solutions," Hockstad wrote.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said news out of the talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia has been "positive."

"I can assure you and everybody here and the American people that the news we've received from that meeting throughout the day, and the president has been briefed on, is positive. This meeting has been productive. I will let Secretary of State Rubio and our national security adviser speak to specifics of what has taken place today when they are ready to do so, when the meeting concludes," she said.

On Tuesday afternoon, Trump again criticized Rep. Thomas Massie's stance that he will vote no on the continuing resolution to keep the government funded. Trump said in a Truth Social post that he wanted Massie to be primaried, a threat he issued Monday night.

"He can’t even approve a Continuing Resolution when he approved them many times during his career as a 'Congressman,'" the president wrote. "Thomas Massie is a GRANDSTANDER, and the Great People of Kentucky are going to be watching a very interesting Primary in the not too distant future!"
