Trump admin updates: Trump marks 1 year since assassination attempt in Butler, PA

President Donald Trump on Friday again came to the defense of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is charged with trying to overturn his 2022 election loss.

Trump was asked if he was going to talk with Brazil's leader after hitting the nation with import taxes of 50%.

"Maybe at some point I'll talk to him. Right now, I'm not," he responded. "They're treating President Bolsonaro very unfairly. He's a good man, you know, I know him well. I negotiated with him. He was a very tough negotiator, and I can tell you, he was a very honest man, and he loved the people of Brazil. He was a very tough guy to negotiate with. I shouldn't like him, because he was very tough in negotiations, but he was also very honest. And I know the honest ones, and I know the crooked ones."

President Donald Trump left the White House on Friday morning to travel to Texas one week after catastrophic flooding killed at least 121 people.

"We're going to Texas. Some of you are coming with us," he told reporters gathered on the South Lawn. "And it's a horrible thing, a horrible thing. Nobody can even believe it such a thing that much water, that fast, without a dam break. You'd think a dam would have to break the habit. So the terrible thing, but we're going to be there with some of the great families and others, the governor, everybody."

Vice President JD Vance will travel to the battleground state of Pennsylvania to promote President Trump's megabill, his office confirmed to ABC News.

Vance will promote the bill next week in West Pittston in Luzerne County, where he'll hold a rally-style event at a manufacturing facility.

The trip by Vance marks one of the first significant efforts by the Trump administration to promote the bill since Trump signed it into law on July 4.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday a 35% tariff on imports from Canada is set to go into effect on Aug. 1.

"It's a great honor for me to send you this letter in that it demonstrates the strength and commitment for our Trading Relationship, and the fact the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States," Trump wrote in a trade letter posted on his social media platform.

Trump's letter mentioned the flow of fentanyl between the U.S. and Canadian border, which was the stated reason Trump gave for initially proposing tariffs on Canadian goods shortly after taking office.

Trump's letter stated that if Canada helps stop the flow of fentanyl between the two countries, the U.S. will consider adjusting its stance.

Canadian leaders say they have already done a great deal to curb the flow of fentanyl to the U.S.

Trump's letter also cites a trade deficit with Canada that he said comes from tariffs and other trade barriers.

Of note, Canada and Mexico did not face new tariffs on April 2 as part of the "Liberation Day" tariffs and were not subject to the July 9 deadline to make deals with the U.S.

There remains a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, as well as a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum and derivative products.
