26:22Now PlayingPresident Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.”
“And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.”
The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off.

President Trump announced Friday he will raise tariffs on China in response to a move from Beijing to tighten its control over certain critical minerals and rare earth elements.
China announced this week that foreign entities must obtain a license in order to export any products containing more than 0.1 percent of rare earths that are either sourced in China or manufactured using the country’s extraction process. China controls roughly 70 percent of the world’s rare metals and earths.
