What this person said on the record, as reported, newest first.
Donald Trump signals that the United States is shifting toward economic pressure on Iran following new military strikes. Washington is relying on sanctions and a naval blockade as key tools in the approach. Oil prices have stabilised, easing the economic burden on American consumers. The change points to a greater emphasis on restricting Iran through economic measures rather than relying solely on military action.

Co-hosts of “The Big Weekend Show” discuss reports that President Donald Trump is considering an agreement with Iran that would not include a nuclear deal.

US President Donald Trump says Washington will keep allowing economic pressure to build on Iran, describing the relationship as only “semi-negotiating.” The United States is maintaining a naval blockade of Iranian ports, with Navy vessels turning back ships bound for or departing from Iran. Trump calls the blockade essential to weakening Iran’s economy. Tehran has established its own requirements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including the withdrawal of US forces from the region.

President Donald Trump said the United States is taking a deliberately low-key approach toward Iran, according to an interview with Axios. He emphasized that his administration is watching economic pressure build on the country. The comments came after months of U.S. military strikes, sanctions and a blockade targeting Iran. Trump made the remarks on Sunday while highlighting the effects of that pressure.

President Donald Trump said he plans to take the dispute over his proposed White House ballroom to the Supreme Court. His announcement followed a federal appeals court ruling that he does not have the legal authority to build the sprawling project without congressional approval. The ruling therefore leaves the construction plan facing a higher court challenge. Trump is seeking to overturn that setback through an appeal.

A federal appeals court has ordered the administration to stop construction of Donald Trump’s planned White House ballroom, valued at $400 million. The judges said Congress had not approved the project. The National Trust for Historic Preservation challenged the plan and sought an injunction last year. A three-judge panel upheld that injunction in a 2-to-1 ruling. Trump says he will take the case to the Supreme Court.
