President Donald Trump made some more announcements in social media posts late Sunday — he said he’s ordered federal agencies to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious and crumbling former island prison in San Francisco Bay. And he threatened a 100% tariff on foreign-made films, leaving unclear how that could possibly be implemented.

Earlier on Air Force One, he accused Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum of being too fearful of drug cartels after she rejected his proposal to send U.S. troops to Mexico. And in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, Trump said he doesn’t know whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike deserve constitutionally guaranteed due process rights.

Trump to meet with Ksenia Karelina, who was released in a prisoner swap

Trump plans a White House meeting on Monday with a Russian-American woman who was freed in a prisoner swap last month, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Ksenia Karelina, a former ballet dancer, was arrested in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg in February 2024 and convicted of treason. She was accused of donating about $52 to a charity aiding Ukraine.

She was released in exchange for a Russian-German man who’d been jailed in the U.S. on smuggling charges.

‘Choose Europe for Science’ drive welcomes researchers as Trump freezes funding

The European Union hopes to attract scientists and researchers unmoored by the Trump administration’s freezing of government funding that it says involved diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

“A few years ago, no one would have imagined that one of the biggest democracies in the world would cancel research programs under the pretext that the word diversity was in this program,” French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday. “But here we are.”

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said a “super grant” program will “make Europe a magnet for researchers,” and that the EU will “enshrine freedom of scientific research into law.”

“Science has no passport, no gender, no ethnicity, no political party,” she said. “We believe that diversity is an asset of humanity and the lifeblood of science. It is one of the most valuable global assets and it must be protected.”

Oil prices tumble on OPEC+ decision to open spigots ahead of Trump visit

Oil prices fell to a four-year low and U.S. benchmark crude fell as much as 4% overnight before recovering somewhat early Monday.

The OPEC+ group of eight oil producing nations said it will raise output by 411,000 barrels per day as of June 1. It cited strong fundamentals. Analysts suspect a desire to curry favor with Trump before his visit to the Middle East this month.

Prices have already fallen nearly 20% in the past three months as traders gauge the global economic impact of Trump’s trade policies. Lowering gas prices has been a key presidential talking point.

“Washington wants cheap energy, and Gulf producers still lean on U.S. security guarantees; the White House bears down, they listen,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said. “In that sense the U.S. president has become an unofficial swing vote inside OPEC+.”

Trump’s trade demands go beyond tariffs to target perceived unfair practices

The Trump administration says the goal of his sweeping tariffs is simple: Force other countries to drop barriers to U.S. goods. But Trump’s definition of trade barriers includes a slew of issues well beyond tariffs. They include:

    1. agricultural safety requirements

    2. tax systems

    3. currency exchange rates

    4. product standards

    5. legal requirements

    6. red tape at the border.

He’s given countries three months to propose concessions before tariffs of 10% to more than 50% take effect. Tariffs on China are already in effect. On many issues it will be difficult, or in some cases impossible, for many countries do this.

Former Vice President Pence defends Constitution as he’s awarded for his Profile in Courage

It’s what “binds us all together,” Pence said as he was honored by the JFK Library Foundation.

The award recognizes Pence’s refusal to go along with Trump’s efforts false claims that election fraud cost him re-election, “putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021,” the foundation said.

“Whatever differences we may have as Americans, the Constitution is the common ground on which we stand. It’s what binds us across time and generations. …. It’s what makes us one people,” Pence said Sunday night.

“His act of courage saved our government and warned us about what could happen and is happening right now,” she said.

Trump will announce NFL draft site in White House announcement, AP source says

The 2027 NFL draft is heading to the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the details told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because President Trump is set to make the announcement on Monday at the White House. The NFL declined to comment.

Washington hosting the draft two years from now is the latest off-field victory for the Commanders, a week since they reached an agreement with the D.C. government to build a stadium on the old RFK site. That is still pending council approval.
