President Donald Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president when asked by NBC on Sunday, saying, “There are methods which you could do it."

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

Meanwhile, tariffs on imported autos are to go into effect on Wednesday. While economist predict Trump's tariffs will raise prices in the U.S., his tariffs czar, Peter Navarro, predicted they would result in tax cuts: "Tariffs are tax cuts, tariffs are jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for America," Navarro told Fox News.

Johnson downplays security concerns after Yemen war plans shared with journalist

Speaker Mike Johnson downplayed a flurry of national security concerns prompted by The Atlantic's reporting that editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added into a Signal group chat discussing classified plans for a strike on Houthi militants.

"The administration is addressing what happened, apparently, an inadvertent phone number made it onto that thread. They're going to track that down and make sure that it doesn't happen again," he said at the U.S. Capitol.

ABC News Correspondent Jay O'Brien pressed Johnson, "But is it irresponsible?"

"Look, I'm not going to characterize what happened," Johnson said. "I think the administration has acknowledged it was a mistake, and they'll tighten up and make sure it doesn't happen again. I don't know what else you can say about."

Johnson added he doesn't believe national security advisor Mike Waltz or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be disciplined for the matter.

Trump says US delegation to Greenland is not 'provocation'

Second lady Usha Vance, national security adviser Michael Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright are visiting Greenland later this week. The trip prompted backlash from Greenland's prime minister, as it comes after President Donald Trump's repeated statements that the U.S. should own and control the island territory.

Trump was asked to explain why the officials are going and what the desired outcome is during his Cabinet meeting on Monday.

"Yeah, well, not provocation. This is friendliness, not provocation," Trump said, claiming officials were invited to attend.
