Live updates: Rubio takes helm at USAID as Dems protest; Trump pauses Mexico tariffs

As President Trump's tariff war with Canada, Mexico and China heats up this week, fallout is expected in the markets and on Capitol Hill.

Mexico and the U.S. struck at deal to delay that nation's tariffs for a month, both Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday. Meanwhile, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are engaged in an ongoing conversation about trade levies imposed on that nation's goods.

Amid tariff news, two other major storylines emerged over the weekend: Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leading the charge against the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and taking control of the federal payment system that disburses trillions of dollars annually. USAID staff say they are "terrified" by the moves.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has named the acting chief of USAID.

This week, the Senate is set to hold more votes on Trump’s Cabinet nominees, while questions loom about the viability of some of his more controversial picks. On Monday, the Senate is expected to vote to confirm Christopher Wright as Energy secretary.

Follow along all day for updates on these storylines and more.
