Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

Overnight, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had another press event in the Philippines, where he was asked if he bore any responsibility for what other government officials labeling the Signal chat a mistake.

He answered by saying his job is to deter and defeat enemies and he was proud of U.S. Central Command. He didn't apologize or call it a mistake.

"We are reestablishing deterrence, and as the leader of that department, my job is to advise and work alongside the president and then work with my fellow Cabinet members to ensure that we're operationalizing in every way possible," he said.

Later, as he was boarding a flight to Japan, a reporter asked Hegseth if he would comply with a federal judge's order to preserve the texts in the Signal chat. His response was, "I'm going to get on the plane."

President Donald Trump confirmed he spoke with Canada's prime minister on Friday and that they would meet after Canada holds elections, which are scheduled for next month.

"I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada," Trump wrote on his social media platform. "It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada's upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The call comes amid tensions between the U.S. and Canada over the Trump administration's tariff policy. Carney on Thursday said the U.S. was no longer a "reliable partner" and that "the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to urgently lift Judge James Boasberg's temporary block on deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

"Only this Court can stop rule-by-TRO from further upending the separation of powers—the sooner, the better," acting solicitor general Sarah Harris writes in an emergency application to the Court. "Here, the district court’s orders have rebuffed the President’s judgments as to how to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk debilitating effects for delicate foreign negotiations."

The appeal follows Wednesday's 2-1 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upholding Boasberg's order and defending his jurisdiction in the matter.
