WH in-town report #3 — Gaza quotes, roundtable underway

The pool was led into the Blue Room at 3:31 p.m.

President Trump is seated at the center of a large table flanked by several Cabinet secretaries, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Also seated at the table are a group of people who, according to the administration, are independent journalists who were attacked by members of the anti-fascist group antifa during recent protests over federal immigration policy in Portland, Oregon.

Trump started by addressing the peace talks in Egypt between Israel and Hamas.

A deal is “very close,” Trump said.

”I may go there” towards the end of the week “on Sunday” or Saturday evening, he said

The talks “seem to be going well,” Trump said.

POTUS then turned to Antifa and protests in Portland. Those remakes are underway.

More to follow.
