Summary
Fresh off a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump holds court with the press pool and, true to form, covers roughly nine topics in the time it takes most people to answer one question. Expect a victory lap on defense spending hitting the 5% benchmark, some pointed words for Iran's leadership and their now very much sunken navy, a Toyota plant relocating to Texas thanks to tariffs, and a spirited defense of why he's not flying home on the new Air Force One just yet. There's also a detour into TikTok rankings, a warning about communism creeping into American politics, and a reporter roundtable covering everything from Spain's NATO commitment to assassination lists, because why not all in one press conference. If you want the unfiltered, unscripted version of foreign policy explained by the man himself, this one delivers it at full volume.
