Trump 2nd term updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

In an ongoing press conference about the deadly plane collision in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night, President Donald Trump announced an acting commissioner to the FAA.

"I'm also immediately appointing an Acting Commissioner to the FAA, Christopher Rocheleau, a 22-year veteran of the agency, highly respected," Trump said Thursday.

The FAA administrator position was vacant before this announcement. Michael Whitaker, the former administrator under the Biden administration, resigned on Inauguration Day.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned President Donald Trump's announcement that 30,000 deported migrants would be housed at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base.

Díaz-Canel called the move an "act of brutality" and said the base is "illegally occupied" in Cuba in a post to X on Wednesday.

"In an act of brutality, the new US government announces that it will imprison thousands of migrants at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied #Cuba territory, and forcibly expel them, placing them next to the well-known prisons of torture and illegal detention," Díaz-Canel wrote.

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday aimed at combating antisemitism on college campuses and in communities across the nation.

The order calls on every federal executive department and agency leader to review and report to the White House within 60 days on all criminal and civil authorities and actions available for fighting antisemitism.

It also instructs the Department of Justice to act promptly on investigating antisemitic acts and allows the removal of resident aliens who violate laws.

Trump pledged on the campaign trail to protect the civil rights of Jewish citizens saying, “My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House.”

Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to establish a White House task force to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.

It also assigned the assistant to the president for domestic policy to recommend figures for the "National Garden of American Heroes" -- a Trump push from his first term to display statues of influential Americans.

According to the new order, he wants to bring the total number of people included in the garden to 250.
