That’s it for our live politics day of Donald Trump’s first hundred days as president of the United States.

Before you sign, here’s a look at what’s in the last 24 hours:

Donald Trump hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the White House for conventions, with the pair holding a joint press convention afterward.

The U. S. president said he would make an announcement on reciprocal price lists next week, telling reporters that he “did not enforce” himself in making his plan to actually put the U. S. in the Gaza Strip a reality.

After the assembly with Ishiba, a White House official announced that Trump had signed an order on “serious human rights violations” in South Africa.

In news:

And if you missed it, you catch up with our Trump one hundred live with correspondents with us Mark Stone and James Matthews here. . .

Judge Carl Nichols in Washington said he issued the order following a lawsuit through the U. S. Government Workers Union. U. S. And an Association of Foreign Service Workers.

The administration, in a statement sent to Foreign Assistance Agency staff, said it would remain 611 as essential personnel aboard USAID out of a global workforce that overall numbers more than 10,000.

About 2,200 USAID workers were scheduled to begin administrative leave tonight.

The former head of USAID under George W Bush said Trump’s management is getting foreign aid because it’s a simple goal.

Elon Musk, who leads a government review under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), in the past said he spoke with Donald Trump, who agreed that the entire company was closed.

“I think they’re looking to sound tough,” Andrew Natsios told Gillian Joseph.  

“It’s easy to do because our main recipients are in the world to come, many of them in remote areas.

“They have no political strength in the states Unidos. No vote. Even the media in your own country don’t even know what they are.  

“Sometimes they are women who suffer from trafficking. They are deficient children. These are other people in refugee camps and displaced camps. “

Senate confirmations are underway for Donald Trump’s closet appointments.

All cabinet-level positions require a majority vote of senators to pass.  

Republicans lately have a majority of 53 seats in the Senate, which means Trump’s nominees can’t lose 3 Republican senators, assuming all 50 Democrats slightly oppose it.

So far, a handful of applicants have effectively finished this process, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth needed J. D. Vance to vote against the ties that were shown after allegations of binge drinking and competitive habit were opposed to the former Fox News host.

One of the top debatable options is Russell Vought, who has been shown to head the Office of Management and Budget, a role that was held in Trump’s first term.

He was heavily concerned about Project 2025, a conservative plan for Trump’s period of time that the president tried to distance himself from the campaign.

Elsewhere, Chris Wright of the oil and fuel industry, a guy with no political experience, has proven himself to be secretary of power.  

He faced a complaint at his confirmation hearing for disputing the links between climate replacement and the most common wildfires, concerned about the “bomb. “

Former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin has proven himself to be an administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

He told Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at his confirmation hearing that he believes in the risk of replacing the climate and that the United States will have to “urgently address those issues. “

But Zeldin gave the impression of doing a full 180 in an interview with Breitbart this week, questioning the legitimacy of existing climate science and saying the world’s deadlines have supposedly “come and gone. “

Trump’s best friend, Pam Bondi, has proven herself to be Attorney General.   She insisted that the Justice Department would remain independent of the White House. During his hearing, he did not say that Trump had lost the 2020 election.

Billionaire hedge fund manager, Scott Bessent, has proven himself to be Secretary of the Treasury, where he will have influenced U. S. tax collection and fiscal policy.

A forged sponsor of Trump’s tariffs, Bessent returned to the concept that the president’s policies are inflationary.

Scott Turner, a former NFL player, has proven himself to be housing secretary.   He led the first term of the White House Revitalization and Revitalization Council.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has proven himself to be Secretary of Homeland Security.

Noem is a supporter of Trump’s hardline immigration program. She made headlines last year when she published an e-book containing an account of her killing her hunting dog, as well as a false claim that she met Kim Jong Un.

Doug Burgum was also listed as secretary of the interior, while Doug Collins was listed as secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Members of Congress were prevented from a U. S. Department of Education construction site in Washington today.

This comes amid rumors that U. S. President Donald Trump would possibly shut down the branch entirely.

The teams scraped the “U. S. Agency for International Development” signage from the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, where the agency’s headquarters once stood.

It follows Donald Trump’s resolution to drastically stop the company after he signed an executive order to freeze foreign aid for a 90-day effective last month.

The Ministry of Efficiency of Elon Musk’s Government, or Dogle, shared before and after photographs of the construction of X.

The Post’s subheadline, “It Hasn’t Been Done What It Was,” is a reference to Kamala Harris, who continually used the word of her election crusade and mocked it.

Donald Trump just boarded Air Force One at his Mar-a-Lago for a busy weekend.

The president of the United States returns to his home in Palm Beach, nicknamed the “White Winter House”, for the time since he assumed the position.

Tonight, he will host a dinner party for some Republican senators and their spouses.

On Sunday, he will play to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX.

Donald Trump has signed an order to combat “serious human rights violations” in South Africa, a White House official said.

The US president has said in the past that he will reduce all investment in South Africa and said that “terrible things” go there.

He said last Sunday, “They take land, they confiscate land, and they actually do things that are much worse than that. “

Trump appeared to be referring to a new law in South Africa that provides government powers in some cases people’s land.

South Africa is the U. S. business spouse in Africa.

The press convention between Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is now over, so we’re back to our normal news coverage. . .

Earlier, we heard from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who spoke alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson.

He said the alliance between Israel and the United States “has never been stronger” and said it “moved deeply” through the welcome it won in Washington this week.

Check out their comments below. . .

Shigeru Ishiba is what his impressions of Donald Trump have been since he arrived at the White House.

The Japanese prime minister says he watched Trump for “many years on television” and that assembly is “quite exciting. “

“On TV, he’s scary and has a very strong personality,” he says with a laugh in the room.

“But when I met him, in fact, he’s very honest and very tough and strong-willed for America and for the world as a whole. “
