Summary (ready to paste)
In a quick press gaggle at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump jumps from personal to geopolitical in minutes—congratulating a couple on an upcoming wedding before pivoting to an Iran-related warning framed around U.S. naval strength and the hope for a negotiated deal. Pressed on a Democrat’s surprise win in a Texas special election, he downplays the race as local and unaffiliated with him, then broadens the answer into familiar themes on border enforcement and crime—claiming historic lows. He also says talks are underway with Cuban officials, describing humanitarian problems on the island and expressing interest in helping families reconnect. Asked about endorsing in the Texas Senate race, he signals a decision is coming soon while stressing relationships with multiple candidates. He closes by briefly noting that the question of body cameras for U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be discussed “in the near future,” again tying it to border security and crime.
