The president is changing his tune on charging fees in the vital waterway, which his allies warned could weaken his negotiating position.

Joseph Aoun's historic White House visit hinges on whether President Donald Trump will push Israel toward a troop withdrawal it has resisted.

After months of privately weighing his vice president against Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the president has begun openly rooting for JD Vance, five people familiar with his commentary said.

Three months from Election Day, the president's political operation is giving battleground candidates space to keep their distance.

“‘Democrats are communists' isn't exactly our rallying cry, but if it keeps Trump actually focused and talking about midterms, we'll take it,” a GOP operative said.

The president boarded Air Force One but quickly swapped planes following an Iranian threat. To arrive in Turkey, Trump had used a new plane gifted to him by the Qatari government that features fewer security features.

President Trump transferred to a different plane via a catering truck, leaving the two Cabinet members, White House staffers and members of the press pool behind.

The prospect that Iran might try to kill Trump has hung over the president since he assassinated a top Iranian official more than six years ago.

The president is scheduled to record a podcast Wednesday with his former lawyer and fixer, according to a White House official.

The close aide to the president, known to filter much of the information reaching the commander-in-chief, ultimately relented in recent months after pressure from White House staff.
