Bondi says Trump will 'probably' leave after second term
Changing the constitution would be a "heavy lift," the attorney general says.
Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.
But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Denmark will object to any claims on Greenland, foreign minister says
Denmark's minister of foreign affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio Thursday and reiterated that Greenland was not for sale.
"It has amounted to a situation where it's not within the limits of international law. It's a mountainous situation where I can only describe it as an attack on Danish sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. And I made that very, very clear," Rasmussen said.

Rubio in hot seat at NATO in wake of tariffs fallout, Greenland drama
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in the heart of the European drama after Trump's tariff announcement, on travel to NATO headquarters in Brussels for a ministerial meeting of the alliance.
Under usual circumstances, there would be no shortage of contentious topics to discuss: support for Ukraine, defense budgeting and Russia. But now, Rubio is on the frontlines for any private complaints about President Donald Trump's tariffs and other ongoing fights with European leaders, like Trump's desire to acquire Greenland.
So far, Rubio has been avoiding addressing these topics head on even though he met with the foreign minister of Denmark, which counts Greenland among its territories. He ignored shouted questions about Greenland ahead of the meeting.

Former VP Mike Pence slams 'Trump tariff tax'
Former Vice President Mike Pence rebuked Trump over his tariff plan in a post on X.
"The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year," Pence said on Wednesday night without citing any specific source.
Pence has often held off from criticizing Trump by name since he left office. However, his organization, Advancing American Freedom, had already been criticizing tariffs from the new administration.

Bessent warns countries against 'unwise' tariff retaliation
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned trade partners not to retaliate against the tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
"I think the mindset is, let's just see where we are, and then we'll see how President Trump feels about all this," Bessent told CNN.
"Everybody sit back, take a deep breath," Bessent said when asked about potential retaliation from abroad. "Let's see where this goes. Because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation."
"Doing anything rash would be unwise," Bessent added.
Calls from industry -- rather than political -- leaders are more likely to win Trump's ear, Bessent said. "It's going to be the calls from the industry saying, 'Okay, how can we get these off?' And he's going to say, 'You can get it off -- bring your factory to the U.S.,'" he said.
