In-town pool report #3 - Oval EO signing

The pool was brought into the Oval Office at 11:57PM to see the president sign an EO to bring NASCAR racing to Washington for the America 250 celebrations.

The president is seated at the Resolute Desk and joined by Secretary Duffy and Secretary Burgum among others. Will Scharf is standing to the president’s right.

He touted the S&P 500 and the crime rate.

He said the US has sent a large “flotilla” or “armada” to Iran, adding it was a larger number of ships than sent to Venezuela.

More to come.
