In-town look report #7: Presser ends

Pool was ushered out of the Oval Office at 2:49 p.m. after roughly an hour.

Trump was asked about foreign students, the war in Ukraine, and about the impact of tariffs on companies like Tesla.

Trump at one point said he believes he solved inflation already, citing lower fuel costs. The hardest thing to solve, he said, was people "pouring into our country."

Trump said not to feel sorry for former President Biden because he's "vicious." He said his meeting with Fed Chair Jerome Powell was a "good meeting."

Elon Musk, asked about the bruise around his eye, said he got it from horsing around with his young son, X, who he said he let punch him in the face.

"He did. Turns out even a five year old punching you in the face actually does...," he said, trailing off.
