Trump says ‘all defense contractors’ will face limits on stock buybacks and executive pay until their performance improves<\/h2>\n
\n

President Trump said in a post on Truth Social<\/a> that all U.S. defense contractors will have to face limits on stock buybacks, dividend payments and executive pay until they make military equipment faster.<\/p>\n

Trump wrote: “Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks, at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment. This situation will no longer be allowed or tolerated!”<\/p>\n

He added that “Executive Pay Packages in the Defense Industry are exorbitant and unjustifiable given how slowly these Companies are delivering vital Equipment to our Military, and our Allies.”<\/p>\n

\n

Trump said he believed these limits would be “good for both Executives and Shareholders, because it will be GREAT for our Country!”<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear how Trump planned to impose those limits, but nonetheless shares of the top U.S. defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and Boeing fell to the lows of the day after Trump’s announcement. The companies did not immediately respond to requsts for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Republican Doug Mastriano won’t run for governor in Pennsylvania<\/h2>\n
\n

Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano said today he will not run for governor again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe, with a full peace in our hearts, that God has not called us to run for governor,\u201d Mastriano, a Republican, said during a lengthy Facebook Live session he held with his wife.<\/p>\n

Mastriano, who lost the governor\u2019s race in 2022 to Democrat Josh Shapiro by double digits, had for months teased<\/a> another campaign in 2026. Shapiro, a potential 2028 presidential contender, is expected to run for re-election in the battleground state. <\/p>\n

\n

Mastriano said during his social media session that \u201cthis is just not our time,\u201d while also not ruling out a future run for higher office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis does not mean we\u2019re stepping away. We\u2019re staying in the movement,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republicans have largely rallied around state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who remains the only major name on the list of declared GOP candidates in the race for governor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some GOP senators denounce potential plans to take over Greenland<\/h2>\n
\n

A group of GOP senators, including Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, today denounced the Trump administration’s rhetoric about taking over Greenland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThreats and intimidation by U.S. officials over American ownership of Greenland are as unseemly as they are counterproductive. And the use of force to seize the sovereign democratic territory of one of America\u2019s most loyal and capable allies would be an especially catastrophic act of strategic self-harm to America and its global influence,” McConnell, the former GOP leader in the Senate, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Collins, speaking to NBC News on Capitol Hill, said she opposed the U.S. taking over Greenland in any way, regardless if it required military force.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am not for the United States taking over Greenland either by military means or financial incentives,” the senator from Maine said.<\/p>\n

She added that she doesn’t know if the president is serious about this plan and “it surprises me every time it comes up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Murkowski said it’s “very, very unsettling” to hear Trump administration officials talk about taking over Greenland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate the rhetoric around either acquiring Greenland by purchase or by force,” she said.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, in a briefing at the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not rule out using U.S. military force to take over Greenland.<\/p>\n

“All options are always on the table for President Trump as he examines what\u2019s in the best interest of the United States, but I will just say that the president\u2019s first option always has been diplomacy,” Leavitt said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff until this evening to honor Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., who died unexpectedly this week.<\/p>\n

“In honor of the late, GREAT, Congressman Doug LaMalfa, a true American Patriot and fantastic Representative of Northern California, yesterday I ordered all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until this evening,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.<\/a> “Doug will be dearly missed!”<\/p>\n

Speaker Mike Johnson: ‘We’re not involved with boots on the ground’ in Venezuela<\/h2>\n
\n

After a briefing with the entire House, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said, “We’re not involved with boots on the ground” in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Responding to questions from reporters, he added, “We don’t anticipate boots on the ground,” in Venezuela, Greenland or anywhere else that Trump administration officials have floated taking action in in recent days.<\/p>\n

His remarks came after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that while there are currently no boots on the ground in Venezuela, “the president, of course, reserves the right to use the United States military if necessary.”<\/p>\n

\n

Later, in the White House briefing, Leavitt didn’t rule out the possibility of using military forces in Greenland.<\/p>\n

“All options are always on the table for President Trump as he examines what\u2019s in the best interest of the United States, but I will just say that the President\u2019s first option always has been diplomacy,” she said. “Again, look at Venezuela, he tried ardently to strike a good deal with Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and he told him I will use the United States military and you will not like it, if you don\u2019t take such a deal, and look at what happened.”<\/p>\n

Johnson also spoke about the goal of the U.S. to open the door for democracy in Venezuela, saying that the mission won’t be paid for by the American people. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t assume that any U.S. taxpayer dollars will be spent to run an election in Venezuela,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump says he will work to ‘ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes’<\/h2>\n

Trump said in a post <\/a>on<\/a> Truth Social <\/a>that he would address housing issues during his speech in Davos, referencing the World Economic Forum annual meeting later this month in Switzerland. <\/p>\n

He said in the post that he would take steps to “ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes,” adding that he was calling on Congress to codify the move into law. <\/p>\n

Trump said he was taking the move because “for a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream,” arguing that the “American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Karoline Leavitt lays out the future of Venezuelan oil<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

\"White<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing that the U.S. government “has already begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil” with the global marketplace.<\/p>\n

“All proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil and products will first settle in U.S.-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks to guarantee the legitimacy and integrity of the ultimate distribution of proceeds, and those funds will be dispersed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the United States government,” she added.<\/p>\n

Trump said <\/a>yester<\/a>day<\/a> that the interim Venezuelan government will turn over between 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Marco Rubio says he outlined three-step process for future of Venezuela in Senate briefing<\/h2>\n
\n

Following a briefing from Trump administration officials to all senators on Capitol Hill, Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the three-phase process the U.S. plans to embark on in Venezuela, a process he said he outlined in detail to the Senate.<\/p>\n

“Step one is the stabilization of the country. We don’t want it descending into chaos,” Rubio told reporters, adding that stabilization includes the “quarantine” of oil in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

He highlighted Trump’s vision, which he announced overnight<\/a>, that includes a plan to sell 30 million to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil at market rates.<\/p>\n

The money from that sale of oil “will then be handled in such a way that we will control how it is dispersed in a way that benefits the Venezuelan people,” Rubio said. <\/p>\n

\n

“The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery,” Rubio added. “And that is ensuring that American, Western and other companies have access to the Venezuelan market in a way that’s fair.”<\/p>\n

Phase two also includes reconciling with the Venezuelan government to ensure that “opposition forces can be amnestied and released,” Rubio said. <\/p>\n

Since Saturday, Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, has been serving as interim president, fueling worry among the leaders of Venezuela’s opposition parties, many of whom live in exile.<\/p>\n

“The third phase of course will be one of transition,” Rubio told reporters, adding, “We feel like we’ll be moving forward here in a very positive way.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Chuck Schumer, Tim Kaine call on Senate and House GOP leadership to hold hearings on Venezuela<\/h2>\n

Following a briefing for all senators from Trump administration officials about Venezuela, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told reporters that they’d like House and Senate GOP leadership to hold public hearings about the Trump administration’s operations in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

“The American people need answers,” Schumer told reporters after accusing Trump administration officials of only briefing lawmakers behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

“Neither the House or the Senate have been willing to hold a hearing … why not?” Kaine asked.<\/p>\n

The Senate minority leader added that he was “totally dissatisfied” with the answers senators received from the Trump administration briefers about conducting future operations in other countries, succession in Venezuela and whether the U.S. will try to take control of Greenland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sen. Markwayne Mullin: Venezuelan oil is ‘not ours’<\/h2>\n
\n

Following a briefing for all senators on Venezuela from members of the Trump administration, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told reporters that last weekend’s military operation to capture Venezuelan leader \u00a0Nicol\u00e1s Maduro was not regime change.<\/p>\n

“No,” he said when asked whether the U.S. was engaged in regime change, highlighting that the U.S. “took out a president that was not duly elected.”<\/p>\n

Mullin demurred when asked whether interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who was Maduro’s vice president, was duly elected. The senator said he couldn’t say because he didn’t know whether presidents and vice presidents are elected on the same ticket in Venezuela, as they are in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Mullin added that the priority regarding the U.S.’ involvement in Venezuela is “to bring stability to Venezuela” and to bring democracy back to the nation. Notably, Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that holding elections and bringing back democracy was a secondary focus for U.S. operations in Venezuela, highlighting a priority to curb drug trafficking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Mullin also spoke about Trump’s goal of revitalizing oil infrastructure in Venezuela. <\/p>\n

The senator told reporters that Venezuelan oil is “not ours,” adding that the U.S. Treasury would get “not one dollar” from Venezuelan oil sales and that oil revenue would stay in Venezuela to help residents there.<\/p>\n

This was also in contrast to what Trump himself said Saturday when he told reporters at Mar-a-Lago<\/a>, “We\u2019re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.\u201d<\/p>\n

And overnight, the president said that the U.S. would seize 30 million to 50 million<\/a> barrels of oil from Venezuela and sell it at market price to fund U.S. and Venezuelan interests. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rep. Tom Emmer criticizes alleged Minnesota fraud by Somali immigrants: ‘Send them home’<\/h2>\n

Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., slammed what he referred to as “Somali fraud” in Minnesota. <\/p>\n

“Send them home,” he said, referring to Somali immigrants who take part in fraud or who he believes do not assimilate into American culture. <\/p>\n

Emmer, who serves as the Republican whip, argued that Gov. Tim Walz dropping his bid for a third term in office would not absolve him from accountability. <\/p>\n

“Walz is running scared,” Emmer said. “But let me be clear. Tim Walz dropping out of the Minnesota’s governor’s race will not exempt him from the storm of accountability that is heading his way. Between the Oversight Committee’s congressional investigation and President Trump’s decisive action, Walz can try to run but he’s not going to be able to hide for long.”<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re looking at diplomatic channels,” Johnson told reporters.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement yesterday that Trump’s team was discussing “a range of options” to acquire Greenland, adding, “utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief\u2019s disposal.”<\/p>\n

Asked about Leavitt’s comments on using the military, Johnson said that “the U.S. always has military options for everything.”<\/p>\n

The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the program, will require the states to provide extra documentation to access the funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies who rely on child care and family assistance programs deserve confidence that these resources are used lawfully and for their intended purpose,\u201d HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O\u2019Neill said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The administration has not laid out details about the fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

Judge orders Lindsey Halligan to explain why she\u2019s still serving as U.S. attorney after previous ruling against her<\/h2>\n
\n

A federal judge yesterday ordered Trump ally Lindsey Halligan to explain why she continues to call herself the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia even though\u00a0another judge determined<\/a>\u00a0in November that she had been unlawfully appointed to the position.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge David Novak of Richmond issued a three-page order demanding to know why Halligan is still serving in the post. Halligan, who unsuccessfully prosecuted former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, is also referred to as U.S. attorney by\u00a0the Justice Department<\/a>\u00a0in official documents.<\/p>\n

The judge\u2019s order is unusual because he issued it on his own, not at the request of defense attorneys. It came in a case involving a carjacking and attempted bank robbery suspect who was indicted last month.<\/p>\n

\n

Novak gave Halligan seven days to respond in writing \u201cexplaining the basis for … identification of herself as the United States Attorney, notwithstanding Judge Currie\u2019s contrary ruling. She shall also set forth the reasons why this Court should not strike Ms. Halligan\u2019s identification of herself as United States Attorney from the indictment in this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The judge\u2019s order goes on to say Halligan \u201cshall further explain why her identification does not constitute a false or misleading statement.\u201d Novak also alluded to potential disciplinary action and demanded that Halligan sign her response.<\/p>\n

French foreign minister says Marco Rubio told him the U.S. ‘ruled out’ going after Greenland like Venezuela<\/h2>\n
\n

French Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot said in a radio interview today in France that Secretary of State Marco Rubio told him the U.S. has \u201cruled out” going after Greenland in the same way it did Venezuela.<\/p>\n

The White House said yesterday that using the military to acquire the self-governing Danish territory was under consideration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreenland is not for sale,” Barrot told France Inter Radio. “It belongs to the Greenlanders and its future will be defined in the agreement between the Greenlandic and Danish authorities\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would make absolutely no sense for one NATO country to attack another NATO country,” Barrot said. “It would make no sense and, above all, it would be completely contrary to the interests of the United States\u201d.<\/p>\n

Barrot said he spoke by telephone yesterday with Rubio. \u201cHe confirmed that this was not the option chosen by the United States. He ruled out the possibility of what has just happened in Venezuela happening in Greenland.”<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is massive support in the United States for this country\u2019s membership of NATO, a membership that would be compromised overnight by any form of aggression towards another NATO member. It is an alliance, and members owe each other mutual respect,\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if Europe should push back harder against the Trump White House, Barrot said, \u201cI believe that we are not lacking in any form of firmness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur position is neither to lament as spectators of violations of international law, nor to throw international law out with the bathwater,” he said. “Our position is to defend these great principles because they are right, but at the same time to strengthen and rearm ourselves so that we can defend ourselves against the law of the strongest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

U.S. backs security guarantees for Ukraine at summit of Kyiv\u2019s allies in Paris<\/h2>\n

The United States for the first time backed a broad coalition of\u00a0Ukraine<\/a>\u2019s allies in vowing to provide security guarantees that leaders said would include binding commitments to support the country\u00a0if Russia attacks again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pledge came today at a summit in Paris of the \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d of mainly European nations to firm up guarantees to reassure Kyiv in the event of a ceasefire with Russia, which invaded its neighbor in 2014 and again at full scale in 2022.<\/p>\n
