Where Things Stand
Back in the U.S.: Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the man at the center of a political and legal maelstrom after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, was being held in a Tennessee jail after being flown back to the United States on Friday to face new charges of transporting undocumented migrants. The sudden move by the Trump administration, after months of fighting any effort to return him, could end the most high-profile court battle over President Trump’s authority to rapidly seize and deport immigrants.

When asked if he was going to terminate any federal contracts with Musk’s companies, Trump said he would be allowed to but hadn’t “given it any thought.” On Thursday, though, the president had threatened to cut the federal contracts and tax subsidies for Musk’s businesses, which have received billions of dollars over the years.
Trump also said Musk would face “very serious consequences” if the tech billionaire gave money to Democratic candidates. Musk has threatened to unseat Republicans who supported Trump’s domestic policy bill, which Musk has assailed as a “disgusting abomination” because he said it would increase the country’s budget deficit.
Trump said an interview on Saturday that his relationship with Elon Musk is likely beyond repair after the two sparred this week in a remarkably public feud. “I think it’s a very bad thing, because he’s very disrespectful,” Trump said about Musk in an interview with NBC News. “You could not disrespect the Office of the President.”
The Trump administration has agreed to pay $4.9 million to settle the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a police officer during the riot at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a court document provided by Judicial Watch, the conservative group that brought the suit. Babbitt, who was 35, had stormed into the Capitol with scores of other Trump supporters in an effort to stop Congress from voting to approve the election of President Biden. She was killed as she tried to jump through a shattered window and enter the Speaker’s Lobby, adjacent to the House Chamber.
The Chinese vice premier, He Lifeng, will lead the delegation traveling to Britain for trade talks with the Trump administration starting on Monday, China’s foreign ministry said. Lifeng was the chief negotiator for China at the last round of talks in May, when both sides agreed to temporarily back down from extremely high tariffs and keep talking. At stake is the relationship between the world’s two largest economies. The American side will be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and the U.S. trade representative, Jamieson Greer.
Marching bands, floats and revelers festooned in rainbows and sparkles are expected to fill the streets of Washington on Saturday for one of the world’s largest L.G.B.T.Q. festivals.
The city holds a local Pride parade annually. But this year’s event will be much bigger, as Washington hosts the WorldPride Parade, which attracts visitors from around the world. Sydney hosted it last time, and Amsterdam is up next.

President Trump said on Friday that the United States and China would begin their second round of economic talks on Monday in London, resuming negotiations over tariffs and global supplies of rare earth minerals that have begun to threaten global economic growth.
The American delegation will be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Jamieson Greer, the United States trade representative, Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. It was not immediately clear who would represent China, but He Lifeng, China’s vice premier for economic policy, led the previous round of talks in Switzerland.
A bill introduced in the House of Representatives on Friday would make it harder to fire most employees of the National Weather Service and give the agency’s director the authority to hire new staff directly, months after it lost nearly 600 employees to layoffs and retirements as part of the Trump administration’s sweeping cuts to the federal work force.
The Weather Workforce Improvement Act would designate certain positions within the agency as critical to public safety. The bill’s sponsors say it would have protected meteorologists, as well as other roles within the agency, from the cuts this year.“
