Trump has signed an executive order that will examine ways to make in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments more affordable.
Speaking at an event at Mar-a-Lago, White House staff secretary Will Scharf said the order asks that the Domestic Policy Council make recommendations within 90 days to protect access to IVF and "aggressively" reduce its costs.
During his campaigning, Trump said that IVF treatments would be paid for by insurance companies or the government if he returned to the White House.
A row erupted between the White House and the Associated Press (AP) - a global media organisation - after Google Maps changed the Gulf of Mexico's name to the Gulf of America for people using the app in the US.
Trump has ordered the body of water to be renamed in US government documents.
The AP says that it will not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico in its style guide, which is used by many US media outlets.
Trump said on Tuesday that he will block AP from the Oval Office and Air Force One until it stops referring to the Gulf of Mexico.
The media organisation sued three Trump officials in response, US media reported on Friday. The AP argues Trump's ban violates the First Amendment and is seeking an emergency hearing to declare Trump's moves unconstitutional.
11. Continued push for dismissal of Mayor Adams case
US justice department lawyers on Wednesday defended their decision to end a criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Last week, the Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss fraud and bribery charges against Adams. Seven justice department lawyers, including the top US prosecutor in Manhattan, resigned over an order to drop the case.
Adams was indicted last year on the charges. He denies any wrongdoing.
Trump has denied that he had any involvement in asking prosecutors to dismiss the Adams case.
On Friday, a judge paused Adams' trial and ordered an outside lawyer to advise him by coming up with arguments against dropping the charges - essentially creating a legal test.
12. Cut benefits for undocumented migrants and legal aid for migrant children
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order ending federal benefits for undocumented migrants.
The measure will seek to ensure that any federal funds to states and localities "will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration", according to the White House.
The Trump administration also suspended a service on Tuesday that helped children who come to the US without a parent or guardian to navigate the immigration court system.
13. Backed idea to send any Doge savings to Americans
Trump said he is considering using a percentage of the potential savings from Elon Musk's taskforce to send payments directly to US taxpayers.
"We're thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% back to pay down debt," Trump said in Florida this week, without giving further details.
Before making the remarks, Musk had posted on his social media platform X that he "will check with the President" after a user suggested the pair should announce a "DOGE Dividend".
14. Vance criticised Europe at Munich conference
During his speech at the Munich Security Conference a week ago, US Vice-President JD Vance launched a scalding attack on European democracies saying the greatest threat facing the continent was not from Russia and China, but "from within".
Vance was expected to address possible talks to end the war in Ukraine but instead accused European governments - including the UK's - of retreating from their values, and ignoring voter concerns on migration and free speech.
The speech was denounced by several politicians at the conference.
15. Snubbed G20 talks in South Africa
Rubio boycotted a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in South Africa this week, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he will not attend next week's gathering of G20 finance ministers.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa told the meeting that a commitment to multilateralism and international law is vital to solving global crises.
Announcing his refusal to attend, Rubio said South Africa was "using G20 to promote 'solidarity, equality, & sustainability.' In other words: DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] and climate change".
Bessent said he had other commitments in Washington.
16. Told Pentagon to find $50bn in cuts this year
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has told US military services to identify $50bn in cuts next year so the money can be used elsewhere for Trump's priorities.
The deputy defence secretary said in a statement on Wednesday that "excessive bureaucracy" and "unnecessary spending that set our military back under the previous administration, including through so-called 'climate change' and other woke programs" would end.
Late Friday night, Trump announced on Truth Social, his social media platform, that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was leaving, as well.
17. Restored 9/11-related cancer research after Doge tried to cancel it
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has restored funding for 9/11-related cancer research after Doge attempted to cancel it last week, according to officials.
The $257,000 (£199,000) contract goes towards data processing to compare cancer incidence rates among firefighters exposed to the World Trade Center toxins with firefighters who were not.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said: "9/11 cancer research and funding for FDNY should have never been on the chopping block".
18. Appeared at Nascar opening
Trump's motorcade drove round the Daytona racetrack in the opening event of the season's Nascar series.
The president's Air Force One jet gave a flyby for spectators before he met the drivers and led them for a lap around the circuit.
19. Fired his top general
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CQ Brown was fired as the highest-ranking military officer in the country, responsible for advising the president and defence secretary.
On Friday evening, Trump took to social media to announce the departure of Gen Brown, who was the second black officer in US history to hold the post. The president said five other top officers were being replaced.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously said Gen Brown should be fired because of his "woke" focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programmes in the military.
