Trump admin updates: White House officials hold prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk

During his press gaggle Sunday evening, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider strikes against mainland Venezuela. He didn’t rule out the possibility of striking parts of the country.

“We’ll see what happens. Look, Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It's not acceptable,” Trump said.

Asked if he’ll order more strikes on Venezuela’s vessels, Trump said he’ll see what happens.

“There's certainly not a lot of boats out there, I'll tell you, since the first strike, and then, to a lesser extent, the second, we don't see any. I mean, we almost see no boats out there, which is fine. As far as I'm concerned, there's been very little boat traffic.”

Trump told reporters he’s been briefed about Venezuela, accusing the United States Navy of boarding a fishing vessel in their own waters. While answering the question, Trump touted his efforts to stop drugs from coming into the U.S. from Venezuela.

The Trump administration requested that Congress approve an additional $58 million to boost security for members of the executive and judicial branches following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

In the formal request, the administration also outlined its support to increase security and protective measures for the legislative branch but is deferring to Congress on the implementation, sources say.

This move comes ahead of the upcoming Sept. 30 government funding deadline. ABC News has reached out to the White House for comment.

House Speaker Mike Johnson previously said congressional leaders were reviewing member security.

“We are in a deliberate review process to determine what measures are appropriate, how much we could allocate for that. We have to protect people who run for public office, or no one will and that is heavy on our hearts and minds,” Johnson said last week.

U.S. Capitol Police told ABC News that the department expects to track “roughly” 14,000 threats to lawmakers by the end of 2025.

Punchbowl was the first to report the news of the additional funding request.

Trump said Sunday that foreign investments in the U.S. — which he regularly touts — hinge on permitting foreign workers to enter the country and train Americans on manufacturing “complex products.”

“When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other “things,” come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land,” Trump said on his social media platform.

“If we didn’t do this, all of that massive Investment will never come in the first place — Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn, because we used to be great at it, but not anymore,” the president added.

Earlier this month, an ICE raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia led to the detention of more than 300 South Korean workers. The workers arrived back in South Korea on Friday on a chartered flight.

Following the raid, Trump told reporters that he’ll “speak to” South Korea and proposed that foreign workers come teach American ones. But Trump maintained that ICE was “doing right” in detaining those South Korean workers “because they were here illegally.”

As Trump pushes the goalpost on consequences for Russia by telling NATO countries to take action first, Republicans appeared eager to impose sanctions on Russia quickly but ultimately backed the president’s strategy.

“I do believe that desperate times call for desperate measures, and I think appropriate sanctions on Russia are far overdue,” Speaker Mike Johnson said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“I mean, I think there's a big appetite for that in Congress, so we're willing to work with the White House and our Senate colleagues in the House to get that done, and I'm anxious to do it personally.”
