No decisions have been made yet, the source added.
Trump and former Alabama football coach Nick Saban spoke at the University of Alabama commencement last week, where they discussed NIL deals and Saban's belief that the inflow of money can damage college sports, according to reports.

Title: Trump and Canada's Prime Minister Carney will hold a high-stakes meeting today: Here's what to expect
Content:
Last week, Canada's Liberal Party swept to victory in federal elections, with Prime Minister Mark Carney riding a wave of anti-Trump sentiment and using his victory speech to declare Canada would 'never' yield to the US.
President Donald Trump's steep tariffs on Canada, and threats to its sovereignty, dramatically transformed the election.
On trade: Trump's decision to levy duties on Canadian steel and aluminum, cars and car parts, and threats to tariff pharmaceuticals and lumber have shaken Canadian businesses and pushed the country toward recession.
Canada has retaliated with tariffs on US imports, including on metal and cars.
On the G7: Trump and his aides have not made a final decision on attending the Group of 7 meeting, which Carney is hosting next month in Alberta.
On annexation: Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and make it the US' '51st state,' souring relations between the two longtime allies.
In an NBC interview on Sunday, Trump said it was 'highly unlikely' he'd use military force to annex Canada.
'I don't see it with Canada. I just don't see it, I have to be honest with you,' he said.
He added that he'd talked on the phone with Carney after his election win, calling the Canadian leader a 'very nice man.'
When asked whether annexation would come up during Carney's visit, Trump responded: 'I'll always talk about that.'
If Canada was a state, 'it would be great,' Trump said. 'It would be a cherished state.'
Carney slammed Trump in his election victory speech:
'America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us,' Carney said. 'That will never ever happen.'
Carney reiterated statements he had made on the campaign trail about the vastly changed nature of Canada's relationship with the US.
'We are over the shock of the American betrayal but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves,' he said.

Title: Less than half of Americans trust that CDC and FDA can carry out core functions, poll finds
Content:
A new poll finds that less than half of Americans have at least some confidence that federal health agencies can carry out key responsibilities, according to a new poll from KFF.
Less than 50% of the respondents said they had a lot or some confidence in agencies like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the US Food and Drug Administration to ensure the safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs or vaccines, respond to outbreaks of infectious disease such as measles, and act independently of outside interests.
Nearly 60% of adults say they have at least a fair amount of trust in the CDC or the FDA to offer reliable information about vaccines, although responses have shifted along party lines since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Compared with September 2023, fewer Democrats and more Republicans now say they trust those agencies.
Routine vaccinations like those for measles, the flu and pneumonia are considered safe by most respondents, but they're divided along party lines when it comes to the safety of Covid-19 vaccines and mRNA vaccine technology.
Health care providers are the most trusted source of reliable vaccine information in the new poll, followed by local health departments, federal health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Big Beautiful Bill Tweet
Yesterday, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene basically admitted that she didn't read President Donald Trump's championed "One Big, Beautiful Bill" before voting "yes" on it. In a tweet, she wrote, "Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years... I would have voted NO if I had known." Obviously, any representative voting on a bill without knowing the full extent of its contents is concerning, regardless of party lines. But the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" — which passed through Congress last month with a 215 to 214 vote — is especially concerning as it includes: Perhaps unsurprisingly, the internet was not impressed with Greene's honesty. Here's what they're saying:

What is the CBO? A look at the small office inflaming debate over Trump's tax bill
WASHINGTON -- A small government office with some 275 employees has found itself caught in the political crossfire as Congress debates President Donald Trump's 'one big beautiful bill.' The Congressional Budget Office has projected that the legislation would increase federal deficits by about $2.4 trillion over 10 years. That's a problem for a Republican Congress that has spent much of the past four years criticizing former President Joe Biden and Democrats for the nation's rising debt levels. The White House and Republican leaders in Congress are taking issue with CBO's findings. They say economic growth will be higher than the office is projecting, resulting in more revenue coming into government coffers. Meanwhile, Democrats are touting CBO's findings as evidence of the bill's failings. Here's a look at the office at the center of Washington's latest political tug-of-war. Lawmakers established the Congressional Budget Office more than 50 years ago to provide objective, impartial analysis to support the budget process. The CBO is required to produce a cost estimate for nearly every bill approved by a House or Senate committee and will weigh in earlier when asked to do so by lawmakers. It also produces a report each Congress on how to reduce the debt if lawmakers so choose with each option including arguments for or against. Plus, it publishes detailed estimates when presidents make proposals that would affect mandator spending, which includes programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Lawmakers created the office to help Congress play a stronger role in budget matters, providing them with an alternative to the Office of Management and Budget, which is part of a Republican or Democratic administration, depending upon the president in office. CBO hires analysts based on their expertise, not political affiliation. Staff is expected to maintain objectivity and avoid political influence. In evaluating potential employees, the CBO says that for most positions it looks at whether that person would be perceived to be free from political bias. Like other federal employees, the CBO's staff is also prohibited from making political contributions to members of Congress. The CBO's director, Phillip Swagel, served in former Republican President George W. Bush's administration as an economic adviser and as an assistant secretary at the Treasury Department. The stakes are incredibly high with Republicans looking to pass their massive tax cut and immigration bill by early July. Outside groups, Democrats and some Republicans are highlighting CBO's analysis that the bill will increase federal deficits by about $2.4 trillion over 10 years and leave 10.9 million more people uninsured in 2034. Republicans spent much of Biden's presidency focused on curbing federal deficits. They don't want to be seen as contributing to the fiscal problem. GOP lawmakers say the CBO isn't giving enough credit to the economic growth the bill will create, to the point where it would be deficit-neutral in the long run, if not better. "The CBO assumes long-term GDP growth of an anemic 1.8% and that is absurd," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 'The American economy is going to boom like never before after the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' is passed.' Republicans began taking issue with the CBO even before Trump and the current Congress were sworn into office. 'CBO will always predict a dark future when Republicans propose tax relief – but the reality is never so dire," Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a December news release. Recently, House Speaker Mike Johnson has been taking digs at the office. 'The CBO is notorious for getting things WRONG,' he said in a Facebook post. In April 2018, CBO said that tax receipts would total $27 trillion from fiscal years 2018 to 2024. Receipts came in about $1.5 trillion higher than the CBO projected. Republicans have seized on that discrepancy. But the numbers don't tell the whole story. Some of the criticism of the CBO ignores the context of a global pandemic as the federal government rushed to prop the economy up with massive spending bills under both Trump and Biden. In a blog post last December, Swagel pointed out three reasons for the higher revenues: The primary reason was the burst of inflation that began in March 2021 as the country was recovering from COVID. That burst of inflation, he said, led to about $900 billion more in revenue. There was also an increase in economic activity in 'the later years of the period' adding $700 billion. Also, new tariffs added about $250 billion, with other legislation partially offsetting those three factors.
