By touting the idea of moving public-sector employees to the private sector, Trump effectively shared a plan that would break the federal government.

U.S. President Donald Trump will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping within the next couple of days, his spokesperson said on Monday.

The White House said on Monday it has noticed that Mexico is "serious" about President Donald Trump's executive order on tariffs, but Canada has "misunderstood" it to be a trade war between the neighboring countries.

The statement, along with a similar order from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.

A federal judge spanked the Trump administration Monday over its handling of the government funding pause, saying that despite several court orders and the White House’s efforts, some agencies are still blocking money from going out the door.
