Trump 2nd term live updates: Trump defends tariffs, declines to comment on Ukraine aid

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said he is a no vote on any continuing resolution despite President Donald Trump and top GOP leaders endorsing a “clean” stopgap measure to fund the government until the end of September.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, also said he will vote against a continuing resolution.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can only afford to lose one Republican if all members are voting and present and will almost certainly need to rely on Democratic votes to avert a government shutdown.

The deadline to fund the government is March 14.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said Americans will "have to suck it up" as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency lay off hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

"There's going to be some tough times," Tuberville told ABC News' Diane Macedo when asked about DOGE's impact. "We have to cut the fat out of out of spending in this country."

Tuberville also addressed Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, saying that "there's going to be a little bit of pain" as the move threatens to drive up prices on groceries, gas and more. "But at the end of the day, if we don't do this, it's going to be much, much worse."

He also voiced his support for Trump's pause on all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, saying he hasn't "voted for any money to go to it because Ukraine can't beat Russia."

President Donald Trump will meet with a group of House Republican hard-liners Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the White House to discuss a path forward on government funding as the March 14 shutdown deadline approaches, two congressional sources and one White House official told ABC News.

Trump and top GOP leaders have endorsed a "clean" short-term bill to fund the government until the end of September 2025. However, hard-liners typically despise continuing resolutions, and 34 opposed the short-term measure that's currently funding the government.

The United States and Ukraine could sign the minerals deal as soon as Tuesday, according to two sources briefed on the discussions.

The deal was originally expected to be signed Friday at the White House, but talks quickly went downhill, and Trump kicked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy out of the White House without completing the agreement.

Sources caution that nothing is final. However, Trump has indicated to top advisers he would like to get the deal done before his joint address to Congress.
