The Trump administration is ending Let Girls Learn, an education initiative for girls in developing countries backed by Michelle Obama, per CNN. It had been administered via the Peace Corps and USAID, and the Obama administration sought to highlight the initiative's success in attracting funding last year with the hope that it might remain in place.

From the Peace Corps: "We remain dedicated to the passionate work of our volunteers and staff to empower and educate girls in their communities."

From Michelle Obama's chief of staff: "We think that this is an issue that has bipartisan support, it's really not a Republican or Democratic issue."

Spicer said the Republican health care bill will "hopefully" pass the House this week, and contended that the government spending agreement reached Sunday night was a win for Trump despite the lack of funding for the border wall. Other highlights:

• Invitation to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte despite his human rights record: Right now "North Korea is our top priority" said Spicer. Added that Trump is "well aware" of his controversial history.
• Potential meeting with Kim Jong-Un: The administration would have to see North Korea's provocative behavior "ratcheted down immediately" for a meeting, said Spicer. "Clearly conditions are not there right now... but if the circumstances present themselves, we will be prepared to."
• Does Trump have a thing totalitarian leaders? "Unfortunately, those are the neighbors in the region" who can help contain North Korea, said Spicer, before avoiding follow-ups about Trump's comments about Erdogan, Putin and Sadaam Hussein.

In an interview with Bloomberg News today, President Trump said that he'd be willing to sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un "under the right circumstances" — with a quote that reflects his media hyperawareness:

Most political people would never say that, but I'm telling you under the right circumstances I would meet with him. We have breaking news.

In a separate interview with Fox News, Trump said that "nobody's safe" when it comes to North Korea, adding: "the guy's got nuclear weapons."

While discussing Andrew Jackson during an interview with the Washington Examiner's Salena Zito, President Trump said that Jackson "saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War."

"He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said 'There's no reason for this.' ... People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?"

Jackson died in 1845.

The New Yorker's Evan Osnos, "How Trump Could Get Fired: The Constitution offers two main paths for removing a President from office":

"During the past few months, I interviewed several dozen people about the prospects of cutting short Trump's Presidency. I spoke to his friends and advisers; to lawmakers and attorneys who have conducted impeachments; to physicians and historians; and to current members of the Senate, the House, and the intelligence services.

"Although some of my sources maintained that laws and politics protect the President to a degree that his critics underestimate, others argued that he has already set in motion a process of his undoing. All agree that Trump is unlike his predecessors in ways that intensify his political, legal, and personal risks. He is the first President with no prior experience in government or the military, the first to retain ownership of a business empire, and the oldest person ever to assume the Presidency."

The Chicago Tribune's front page spotlights protests by EPA employees about planned Trump budget cuts, with local workers hoping that educating the public on cleanup jobs may save some jobs:

• "At the EPA's Chicago office, which oversees the agency's work in six states around the Great Lakes, employees have participated in rallies protesting Trump's policies, organized a social media campaign and showed up at community forums to promote what they do for a living."
• EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt — who as Oklahoma attorney general sued the EPA 14 times — "is proposing to cut grants that finance state environmental programs by 45 percent."
• "[T]he EPA has always been unpopular in some quarters. The agency ... draws criticism from groups that feel the EPA moves too slowly or succumbs to political pressure."

Why it matters: "People in places like Flint [Mich.] still look to the EPA for help."

First in Axios AM ... President Trump is establishing an American Technology Council to help the government deliver better digital services. The administration is bringing big names from the Silicon Valley to the White House in early June, to try get ideas and cooperation from a group that has been skeptical.

• What it does: Officials say the new council is part of the efforts by Jared Kushner's White House Office of American Innovation to unite the government with private-sector ideas to solve long-term problems. The ATC will coordinate strategy with other departments and agencies, and funnel advice to Trump.
• Why it matters: The White House will announce the council today as part of an effort to show it's thinking ahead to the next 1,000 days — the rest of the term (actually 1,361). The innovation office wants to take what it learned in the first 100 days and turn it into action.
