Overview
- President Donald Trump made an unannounced appearance at the White House briefing on the first anniversary of his second term, brandishing a 365‑item achievements document and speaking for well over an hour.
- He repeated disputed claims, including that there is “no inflation,” despite the latest CPI showing a 2.7% annual rise, and reprised false assertions about the 2020 election and exaggerated drug‑price declines.
- Days after announcing new tariffs on imports from eight European countries tied to his Greenland ambitions, Trump declined to detail next steps, saying “You’ll find out,” as the Supreme Court continues to weigh his tariff authority.
- Immigration dominated his remarks as he showcased ICE arrest photos and addressed the fatal Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good, against a backdrop of DHS figures reporting at least 605,000 deportations and 1.9 million self‑departures in 2025.
- On foreign policy, he highlighted the U.S. operation that captured Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro and said he is engaging opposition leader María Corina Machado, with Maduro and his wife already charged in a U.S. court.
