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.
Trump 'open' to deal on tariffs with other nations
President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he is "open" to making deals with nations with regard to tariffs.
However, when asked whether any deal would come before the tariffs begin, Trump said no, adding that it would probably come afterward.

Judge blocks dismantling of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
A federal judge is blocking the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, finding the Trump administration acted "completely in violation of law" when it attempted to shutter the organization.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a preliminary injunction Friday afternoon that requires the Trump administration to reinstate any terminated CFPB employees, rescind any contracts that have been cancelled, allow the workforce to access their computers and return to the office, resume statutorily required work, and maintain any records held by the organization.
"If the defendants are not enjoined, they will eliminate the agency before the Court has the opportunity to decide whether the law permits them to do it, and as the defendants' own witness warned, the harm will be irreparable," Jackson wrote.

State Department says it's 'ready' to assist after Myanmar earthquake
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.

USDA: Egg prices fall for 5th straight week, but only by 26 cents
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.
