Overview
- In Oval Office remarks, President Trump said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has "lost her way" after she urged him to focus on domestic policy over foreign engagements.
- Greene criticized his hosting of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and called for "hauling in" health insurance executives to craft a Republican plan to address rising costs.
- Al-Sharaa's White House visit marked the first by a Syrian head of state and followed Trump's decision last week to lift the leader's terrorist designation.
- Trump defended his emphasis on global affairs as a necessary "worldwide" view of the presidency and accused Greene of "catering to the other side."
- Greene swiftly responded that she is "100% America first," as the exchange underscores intra-party strains over health care, affordability, and the administration's stepped-up foreign travel and meetings.
