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

President Donald Trump is on the ground in central Texas to witness the destruction firsthand from last week's catastrophic flash floods.

In Kerr County, Trump was greeted by Gov. Greg Abbott, who on Friday announced the federal government updated Trump's disaster declaration to include more counties. Abbott said the move "will provide critical assistance to Texans and communities impacted by the devastating flooding."

Trump is being joined on his trip by Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, the state's two Republican senators.

ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott asked President Donald Trump on Friday whether he'd consider any exemptions for USMCA-compliant or other goods in the tariffs on Canada.

"We're going to see," Trump said. When it was set yesterday, they called. I think it was fairly well received. It's what we need, so we'll see what happens."

When asked what his message was to other countries ahead of the tariff negotiation end date, Trump said "just keep working."

"We've been taken advantage of for many, many years by countries folks, both friends and foe, and frankly, the friends have been worse than the most in many cases. So, I would say, just keep working. It's all going to work out," he said.

"I think he's doing a terrible job," President Donald Trump said of Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell on Friday.

But when asked if would fire him, Trump said no.

"I think we should be three points lower interest rate," Trump continued. "He's costing our country a lot of money. We should be No. 1 and we're not, and that's because of Jerome Powell."

The comments come after Russell Vought, Trump's director of the Office of Management and Budget, accused Powell of having "grossly mismanaged the Fed."

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."
