President Trump Holds Press Gaggle Aboard Air Force One Returning to White House


Posted originally on CTH on June 17, 2025 | Sundance

After departing the G7 in Canada, President Trump held a press availability aboard Airforce One at approximately 1:00am.  President Trump and Secretary Rubio were returning to the White House early to address issues of concern in the Iran-Israel conflict.   WATCH (prompted):

The president’s entire national security apparatus are assembled in the White House today (Tuesday) as the principals review events from the situation room.

Jennifer Jacobs (Bloomberg) provides a solid recap of the AF1 presser. “Trump wants “a real end” to the nuclear problem with Iran and this morning will find him in the White House Situation Room, monitoring developments in Middle East, he told us during his midnight departure from Canada.

“I didn’t say I was looking for a ceasefire,” he said on AF1. He said he wants “a real end,” with Iran “giving up entirely” on nukes.

The Israelis aren’t slowing up their barrage on Iran, he predicted. “You’re going to find out over the next two days. You’re going to find out. Nobody’s slowed up so far.”

Asked his thinking on calling for Tehran to evacuate, he told me he wants “people to be safe.”

He needs to be present at the White House, not Canada, where he can be “well versed” and not have to rely on phones to know what’s happening, he said.

Trump sounded undecided about sending Witkoff and/or VP Vance to meet with Iran. “I may,” he said. But “it depends what happens when I get back,” he said.

On any threat to US interests, he said Iran knows not to touch our troops. US would “come down so hard if they do anything to our people,” he said.

Trump declined to say if the chairman of joint chiefs and SecDef have provided him with planning options should Iran attack U.S. bases in Middle East. “I can’t tell you that,” he told me.

Trump told me “we’ll be talking to them” when asked if the Gang of Eight was briefed on anything yet. But “it’s not necessary,” he said.

Asked if US involvement would destroy Iran nuclear program, hope their program “is wiped out long before that.”

Iran is “very close” to a nuclear weapon, he said. “I don’t care what she said I think they were very close to having them,” Trump told us on AF1 when asked about Tulsi Gabbard testimony in March.

I asked him about efforts to help Americans leave the region, with commercial airspace closed, and he said admin “working on that. We’re doing the best we can.”

“I haven’t seen it,” he told me when I asked if any signs North Korea or Russia more involved in aiding Iran.

I asked him about his strategy for Senate confirmations, given only 3 of 6 defense undersecretaries confirmed so far. He said Thune is doing a very good job, but Dems “hold up our nominations.” He’d like the process to go faster, he said.

Scott Bessent and a couple others stayed behind to meet with G7 leaders, he told me. (Rubio is on AF1 with us.)

But he did all he needed at the gathering, he said.

He said he hadn’t seen the G7 statement yet but he “authorized them go say certain things.” Carney did a good job hosting, he said. {LINK}

President Trump and Secretary of State/Nat Sec Advisor Marco Rubio left the G7 in Canada late last night following dinner with the G7 leaders.  When asked by reporters about his early departure President Trump said, “for obvious reasons.”

President Trump is quickly assembling his national security, defense and intelligence apparatus to work throughout the day Tuesday from the situation room of the White House where real-time video feeds and interfaces with regional players are immediate.   President Trump announces his departure during the G7 group photo session.

Report: Trump Relays to Mid-East Allies, U.S Will Not Engage Iran Unless They Target Americans


Posted originally on CTH on June 16, 2025 | Sundance

Sometimes a media report from “sources familiar with the matter” does actually track with the way President Trump’s doctrine is seen.  This is one of those times.

According to Axios, White House officials have directly relayed to mid-east friends that President Trump has no intention of using U.S. military resources to target Iran, unless the Iranian regime does something stupid like target Americans.

It is easy to imagine this type of relay was made by President Trump to Saudi Arabia (MbS), Qatar (Muslim Brotherhood) and/or Jordan (King Abdullah II), with the full intention of the message reaching Iranian govt officials.

[AXIOS] The big picture: The U.S. has helped Israel intercept missiles, but made clear Israel is acting alone in attacking Iran. The U.S. message is that if Iran attacks Americans in response, it will be crossing a red line.

The intrigue: The U.S. sent a similar message to the same countries about an hour between Israel launched the war last Thursday, telling them the U.S. would not participate.

In both cases, the U.S. seemed to expect the countries to pass that message to Iran to discourage any retaliation against U.S. forces or interests in the region.

The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Between the lines: While Iranian leaders have accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel’s war effort, and threatened for weeks to respond to any Israeli attack by targeting U.S. bases in the region, no such attacks have taken place. (more)

Overall this type of message from President Trump tracks exactly with the careful geopolitical effort he and Secretary Rubio are working throughout this conflict.

Indeed, if you read the statement from President Trump about his hour-long conversation with Russian President Putin after the Israeli strikes began, you can see a similar pattern.

President Trump Delivers Remarks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer – Presser With Questions


Posted originally on CTH on June 16, 2025 | Sundance

U.S. President Trump and U.K Prime Minister Starmer finished signing the details of the U.S-U.K trade agreement on heavy industry, aerospace, car tariffs and automobile trade.   Both Trump and Starmer delivered remarks to the assembled press pool prior to answering questions.

The media were full of questions for President Trump about the latest developments in the Israel-Iran conflict.  President Trump noted he needs to conclude the commitments on his schedule before he can engage in Iranian negotiations.

The British media, maintaining their longstanding history against the Russian Federation, are worried that President Trump might like Russia and or even agree with Russian perspectives.  To the British press this possibility gives them the vapors.  President Trump tries to intercept the U.K fainting by reminding the Brits the goal is to “stop death” at a rate of 5,000 young lives per week.  WATCH:

President Trump Delivers Remarks With Prime Minister Mark Carney at Beginning of G7 Assembly


Posted originally on CTH on June 16, 2025 | Sundance

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomes President Donald Trump at the beginning of the working sessions for the G7 assembly in Canada.

During the press availability President Trump notes the G7 used to be the G8, however following the Crimea referendum and President Putin’s response to accept the outcome of the vote, the NATO alliance led by President Barack Obama took Russia out of the group.  President Trump says he “agreed” with Putin’s reaction to the decision.

The G7 speak about Russia consistently at almost every meeting, without a willingness to listen to the voice or opinion of Russia in context to their protestations.  Quite simply it is easier for Italy, Canada, the U.K, France, Germany, Japan and the USA to exist inside an echo-chamber without having their multilateral arguments challenged.  President Trump does not fear the debate of ideas with Russia present in the room, another point of distinction between Trump and the assembly.

Wrong is wrong even if everybody does it; and right is right even if nobody does it. It takes strong confidence to assert a position counter to popular opinion, this is what makes President Donald Trump a transformative political influence.

In the background, President Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly paying attention.

Also, read carefully what President of the European Council António Costa said today:

CANADA – […] European Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council António Costa on Sunday both urged Trump to stop hurting the global economy with tariffs.

“Let’s keep trade between us fair, predictable and open. All of us need to avoid protectionist measures — this is an important message that the G7 can send to the markets and to the world,” von der Leyen told reporters, speaking alongside Costa at the first press conference of the G7 leaders’ meeting in Canada.

Calling for “a frank discussion among the G7 partners, restoring a sense of stability and predictability among ourselves,” von der Leyen stressed Brussels was still negotiating a trade truce with Washington.

Costa said the EU can’t increase defense spending, as Trump wants it to, if it has to fight a trade war at the same time.” (link)

A parasitic statement if there ever was one.

Put another way, the EU threatens that President Trump will not be able to lessen USA military spending from NATO, if he simultaneously demands reciprocal trade rules from NATO countries.

Insufferable is an understatement.

Ten Years Ago Today


Posted originally on CTH on June 16, 2025 | Sundance 

I know more than a few of us were here on these pages discussing Donald Trump in June of 2015 when he announced his intention to run for the Republican presidential nomination.

Many of you might even remember my initial reaction to Trump’s announcement, “Donald Trump could show up to the GOP debate in 5-inch heels, a Carmen Miranda hat and start twerking the podium of Jeb Bush, and I’d still support him.”

All of those years taking apart the republican party strategy and their illusion of choice, for me the #1 signal that Donald Trump was a legit outsider came from his placement in the announcement.   President Trump was the last candidate to announce entry; all the other candidates were in place before he announced.  That datapoint told me he was for real.

Donald Trump personifies EVERYTHING the liberal left hate – the media will attack Trump with exponentially greater Alinsky force than they did Sarah Palin; and only Trump has the moxy to win against them: (LINK)

So, when did you join the Trump train?

Good Grief – Zelenskyy (Ukraine) and Sheinbaum (Mexico) Travel to G7 Canada to Influence and Intercept


Posted originally on CTH on June 16, 2025 | Sundance

I’ll break out a different analytical discussion on other foreign interest matters in a separate post; however, as the G7 kicks off it is very interesting to notice who shows up on President Trump’s G7 schedule in Canada – that has absolutely no bearing on the G7 meeting in Canada.

According to the schedule, President Trump has meetings with both Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Neither Mexico or Ukraine are in the G7 (Italy, Germany, France, USA, Canada, Japan, U.K).

Obviously Zelenskyy is traveling to Canada at the behest of the global intelligence network because they are afraid President Trump may no longer keep Zelenskyy at the center of the foreign policy universe.  The distraction of Iran/Israel might take away the focus of President Trump – Zelenskyy cannot bear the thought of that.

For President Sheinbaum, the first Jewish leader in Mexican history, the issues are even more dramatic, consequential and serious.  President Trump’s rapid deportation program is making it very difficult for Mexicans in the USA to send money back to Mexico.  This is quickly becoming an urgent matter for Mexican officials who will be forced to intervene in support of the local Mexican economy if President Trump keeps impeding the accumulation of illegal wages in the USA.

These two meetings are on top of all the other G7 priority meetings that are traditionally scheduled.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is intent on leveraging all the effort she put into gaining close proximity to President Trump’s inner circle for influence.  Unfortunately, Meloni used Elon Musk as the entry point and, well, now her sense of desperation to retain relevance gets context.

French President Emmanuel Macron is currently battling British Prime Minister Kier Starmer in the quest to see who has more influence over President Trump.  Starmer has a state visit and praise from King Charles to bolster his agenda, but Macron has a longer tenure of proximity to Trump.  Zelenskyy showing up in Canada is intended to make Europe the focus of the assembly, with Macron and Starmer representing the ‘coalition of the -mostly- willing’.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, is unfortunately not getting as much attention despite hosting the G7.  The reasoning is simple, Carney doesn’t represent anything of value to the USA agenda until President Trump decides to take apart the USMCA trade agreement.   Until that process begins, the shouting of Canada about tariffs is akin to an annoying buzzing sound in the background; irrelevant white noise from the snow Mexicans.

Ursula von der Leyen will be in Canada because the insufferable European Union always consider themselves as part of the G7 despite not being a nation.  The stupid parliamentarians of the EU always demand representation for their Brussels nonsense and often the NATO knuckleheads tag along.

In many ways we can look at the appearance of Mexico and Ukraine through the prism that the G7 doesn’t have any other issues more important to them than (1) trade/tariffs, and (2) war against Russia.  PM Carney willing to inject any ally of his that might assist the trade war and Ukraine war advocacy.

No joint statement – Host Canada certainly looks to be avoiding any obvious signs of disunity, having abandoned the usual communique that’s issued at the end of G7 summits on how the group plans to work together to tackle joint challenges.

This could seek to avoid a repeat of the acrimonious conclusion to the previous summit in Canada back in 2018 when Trump, during his first term in office, retracted the U.S.′ support for the joint statement. The summit in France in 2019 was the last gathering Trump attended. (read more)

As usual, there is no other topic of conversation bigger than President Donald Trump.

President Trump is the global Godzilla of politics, a Saturn sized political planet in a sea of Pluto’s.

There is only one gravitational force in the world of politics as long as Trump is in orbit.
