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.

They briefly greeted service members stationed there as they ate lunch. Vance noted he was the first vice president to visit Greenland, saying it was "a pretty cool thing," before giving an overview of their visit.

"We're talk to the command and some of the Guardians about what exactly the base does and all the important ways it contributes to national security. We're going to get a briefing, of course, about, you know, what you guys do every day," Vance said.

"And then we're going to talk just about, as you've heard, we have some interest in Greenland from the Trump administration, so we're going to talk a little bit about that with our friends in the media," Vance added.

Trump administration formally moves to dissolve USAID

The Trump administration moved to officially dissolve the U.S. Agency for International Development, according to a memo distributed to agency employees on Friday.

Jeremy Lewin, the agency's new deputy director and a former DOGE official, wrote. In a memo obtained by ABC News, Lewin said the State Department "will seek to retire USAID's independent operation" immediately and "assess" whether to rehire some unknown number of officials to "assume the responsible administration of USAID's remaining life-saving and strategic aid programming."

As part of the move, the memo continued, "all non-statutory positions at USAID will be eliminated."

"Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over. We are reorienting our foreign assistance programs to align directly with what is best for the United States and our citizens," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.

The State Department also said that its leadership, along with USAID leadership in place, had notified Congress of its intent to reorganize some USAID functions within the State Department by July 1.

The overall push to eliminate USAID is being challenged in multiple court cases.

"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."
