President Trump stated on Saturday that he is considering the possibility of rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO), just days after signing an executive order to withdraw the United States from the organization. He expressed concerns that the US pays more than its fair share to the WHO, comparing the US contribution of $500 million to China's $39 million despite China's significantly larger population. Trump has previously criticized the WHO for its failure to adopt necessary reforms and described the US financial contribution as "onerous." In his first term, he initiated steps to withdraw the US from the WHO, an effort later blocked by President Biden. During a rally in Las Vegas, Trump also discussed other topics, including plans to cut taxes, prevent taxes on workers' tips, halt the hiring of new IRS agents, and reverse Biden administration policies.

A 21-year-old Washington state woman, Teresa Youngblut, is accused of fatally shooting a US Customs and Border Protection agent, David Maland, during a traffic stop in Vermont. The incident occurred on Monday on Interstate 91 in Coventry. Youngblut and her companion, Felix Baukholt, a German national with an expired visa, were under surveillance prior to the stop due to a hotel employee reporting them carrying a gun and wearing tactical gear. Both Maland and Baukholt were shot and died from their injuries. Youngblut has been charged with assault on a federal law enforcement officer.
