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

State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that through the tumult at USAID, the U.S. has maintained "a team of disaster experts with the capacity to respond if disaster strikes"

"These expert teams provide immediate assistance, including food and safe drinking water needed aftermath of a disaster. The United States is evaluating the need for assistance based on requests and dynamic reporting," she said.

But despite President Donald Trump's assertion that we're going to be helping, Bruce suggested the State Department was still in standby mode. "What I can tell you is that we wait for formal requests," she said. "We are ready. Obviously, we are watching what is transpiring."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also seemed to suggest the president meant the U.S. was willing to help rather than actively assisting.

"My prayers go out to the people of Burma and Thailand who are impacted by the earthquake," he wrote. "We've been in contact with these countries and, as [Trump] said, stand ready to provide assistance," Rubio posted on X.

The national average wholesale price of eggs fell $0.26, or 8%, to $3.00 per dozen last week, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

It marks the fifth straight week of sliding wholesale prices, although the declines are slowing.

As USDA's Friday report notes, prices fell less dramatically as Easter demand starts to pick up. Shoppers may have an easier time finding eggs at the store and relaxed limits on how many you can buy, but retail prices lag behind wholesale so they’re just now starting to appear cheaper.

“There is a general sense that current price levels, though still relatively high compared to past Easters, offer enough of an attractive contrast to consumers from where prices stood just a few weeks ago to encourage holiday demand," the report states.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Friday that the Trump administration would let any state refuse recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from using the money to buy soft drinks. He made the announcement in West Virginia alongside Gov. Patrick Morrisey, the first governor to say they'll take up the offer.

"The message that I want to give to the country today and to all the other governors is, get in line behind Morrisey and apply for a waiver to my agency, and we're going to give it to you. That's the way we're going to win this," Kennedy said.

Kennedy doesn't have authority over SNAP, which falls under the Department of Agriculture. But he has been the biggest cheerleader for this policy change and collaborated with others, such as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, through his work leading Trump's Make America Healthy Again Commission, said Calley Means, a former Kennedy advisor who now works at the White House.

"This is absolutely, absolutely only possible with Secretary Rollins' cooperation, and she's been very clear that she's excited to accept these waivers," Means said.

Taking questions from Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, Vice President JD Vance was asked if he's conveying the message that the U.S. is serious in its desire to acquire Greenland.

"Well, the president said we have to have Greenland. And I think that we do have to be more serious about the security of Greenland. We can't just ignore this place. We can't just ignore the president's desires. But most importantly, we can't ignore what I said earlier, which is the Russian and Chinese encroachment in Greenland. We have to do more," Vance said.

Vance said the administration "respects the self-determination of the people of Greenland" but argued they'd be better served by the U.S. security umbrella than by Denmark.

"Yes, the people of Greenland are going to have self-determination," Vance said. "We hope that they choose to partner with the United States, because we're the only nation on Earth that will respect their sovereignty and respect their security, because their security is very much our security, as these brave Americans show."
