The president has spoken for at least 43 minutes so far but has not yet started taking questions.
He has spoken about accomplishments in the past year and claimed that he originally wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Trump before settling on the Gulf of America. “That does have a good ring, though, maybe we could do that. It's not too late,” he said about the Gulf of Trump.
The briefing is live-streamed so I’m not sending full quotes.
