Trump says the total tariff rate vs China is 55% — but a White House official clarifies for me this is NOT a new escalation in tariffs The additional tariff so far this term is still at 30%, as agreed after Geneva. That adds to the 25% tariff already in place before this term

I just spoke to President Trump and asked him about the Israeli attack on Iran. Here’s what he told me: "I think it's been excellent.  We gave them a chance and they didn't take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you're going to get hit. And there's

Asked President Trump if the US was given any kinds of heads-up ahead of the operation. "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on." POTUS said he spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu yesterday and plans to speak with him again today: wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.
