Trump signed two executive orders before pool entered. EOs direct Section 232 trade actions on semiconductors and critical minerals. Trump on Iran: "We are told that the killing in Iran is stopping." Said he will be "very upset" if execution happens. This is likely a reference to protester Erfan Soltani, who has reportedly been arrested and sentenced to death. POTUS acknowledged bipartisan support for milk bill. Adm…

From the gaggle with POTUS at JBA by the wing of AF1 just now. Otter link at the end if you wish to double check the audio yourself: ON IRAN: "Iran is on my mind when I see the kind of death that is happening over there. We think, so we're going to get some accurate numbers, I'll have em in about 20 minutes. We'll get some accurate numbers as to what's happening with regard to the killing. The Killing looks like it'…

Pool got onto Air Force one at 3:30; POTUS did not gaggle. Rolling at 3:33. Also, my last note that said the speech was 45 minutes was an error; others clocked it at a little over an hour. Shawn McCreesh White House correspondent The New York Times XXX-XXX-XXXX

The president's remarks ended at 3pm. They lasted about 45 minutes and ran the gamut from the economy to domestic politics to foreign policy. It seemed that no news was broken about Iran, mostly just a reiteration of what he’d already posted on truth social. Summary: "Even Venezuela wasn't too bad, was it, huh?" POTUS asked this crowd of businesspeople; maybe a few hundred (only a few hands went up when POTUS asked…

On the factory floor, flanked by Ford execs, POTUS took questions for just under 10 minutes. He spoke a bit about the USMCA, about Jerome Powell — he said he hopes Powell will be out of there soon and knocked Senator Tillis — and was asked about Iran. His answers on anything having to do with Iran seemed quite vague, but it was hard to hear in this bustling factory. Here is an otter link. Service is spotty so if it…
