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.

Trump says his team is 'taking bids' for TikTok as deadline looms

As the April 5 deadline that President Donald Trump set for TikTok to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the United States nears -- the president said he has a team "essentially taking bids" for ownership of the app.

“There's tremendous interest in TikTok. The decision is going to be my decision. As you know, through Congress, they've given me the power to make the decision," Trump told reporters Sunday evening.

"We have a great team of people taking, essentially taking bids. We have a lot of people that want to buy TikTok. We're dealing with China also on it, because they may have something to do with it, and we’ll see how that goes," he added.

This comes after Trump pushed back the initial January deadline for TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the app.

'Psychological deadline' in place for Russia to agree to ceasefire, Trump says

President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday night that the administration was making a lot of progress between Russia and Ukraine. Asked if he believes that his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin is at its lowest point, Trump said no.

"I don't think he's going to go back on his word. You’re talking about Putin. I don’t think he’s going to go back on his word," he said. "I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve always gotten along well despite the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax."

Trump also said he’s not happy with Putin discrediting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, given that he’s supposed to be making a deal with him to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

"I was disappointed some of the things he said over the last day or two having to do with Zelenskyy because he considers him not credible, he’s supposed to be making a deal with him, whether you like him or you don’t like him, so I wasn’t happy with that,” Trump said.

Asked if there’s a deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire, Trump called it a "psychological deadline.”

"If I think they're tapping us along, I will not be happy about it," Trump said of Russia.

"The automakers are going to make a lot of money. American automakers or international automakers, if you're talking about them, are going to build in the United States," Trump said.

"Outside of the United States, that's going to be up to them. I don't care too much about that. But you have a lot of companies coming into the country to manufacture cars," he added.

Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects effort to block Musk's $1M giveaways

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected on Sunday night Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's lawsuit to stop Elon Musk and America PAC from executing a planned giveaway on Sunday night of $1 million each to two attendees at a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The order came just minutes before the event -- backing conservative candidate Brad Schimel -- was set to start.

Kaul wrote in his initial filing on Friday that he was asking for emergency relief to stop Musk and America PAC “from further promoting a million-dollar giveaway to attendees of a planned event on Sunday, March 30, 2025, and prohibiting Respondents from making any payments to Wisconsin electors to vote," which he said violated state law.

Musk's lawyers framed the planned Sunday night giveaways as "spokesperson agreements" for spokespeople for the PAC.
