Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. There's been a significant falling out between two high profile Republicans in Washington Post, President Trump and MAGA Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene suspects it's because she wants the full release of FBI files related to convicted sex offender the late Jeffrey Epstein. NPR's Ron Elving has more.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the familiar firebrand from Georgia. She is a Republican representative in Congress and a fierce defender of the president. In multiple interviews, she has called Trump misguided in fighting the release of the Epstein files. And that, of course, has drawn Trump's efforts. In a long post on Truth Social last night, the president called Marjorie Taylor Greene, quote, wacky, unquote, and said he was withdrawing his support of her.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he was on his way to spend the weekend to Mar a Lago, President Trump seemed to downplay his executive order exempting tariffs on items such as coffee, bananas and beef, saying he does not anticipate future rollbacks.

I don't think it'll be necessary. We just did a little bit of a rollback on some foods like coffee as an example, where the prices of coffee were a little bit high. Now they'll be on the low side in a very short period of time.

The exemptions, however, represent a reversal by the Trump administration after voters in this month's off year election cited economic concerns as their top issue. Democrats scored big wins in Virginia, New Jersey and in other key races around the country. Trail Snyder, NPR News.

The Trump administration did not send a delegation to this year's United Nations Climate summit in Belem, Brazil. President Trump has called climate change a hoax, but delegates from the state of California and other states are at COP 30 anyway. Laura Kleibens of member station KQED reports.
