Appearing on CNN’s The Source on Monday, Mike Pence expressed serious reservations about President Donald Trump’s tariff proposals, arguing they would drive up prices and make life harder for American consumers, particularly families relying on affordable goods.
Pence told host Kaitlan Collins that while addressing trade imbalances is important, the current approach lacks precision. “I do have concerns, that with the president’s call for broad based tariffs against friend and foe alike that ultimately the administration is advancing policies that are not targeted at countries that have been abusing our trade relationship, but rather are essentially new industrial policy that will result in inflation, that will harm consumers and ultimately harm the American economy.”

President Donald Trump addressed questions on Monday regarding an image that circulated online over the weekend showing him dressed as the pope, which had been shared by the official White House account. Trump insisted the image was well received by many, particularly Catholics.
In a tense exchange in the Oval Office, a reporter pointed out that “some Catholics were not so happy about the image of you looking like the Pope.” Trump didn’t hesitate to respond sharply. “Oh, I see you mean they can’t take a joke; you don’t mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media… The Catholics loved it,” Trump said.

On Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s This Week, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, saying they have led to the United States being viewed globally as an “unreliable partner.”
Host George Stephanopoulos brought up the topic by noting that tariffs had become a central issue early in Trump’s second term. “I think you identified the tariffs as the number one issue. Liberation Day is probably the most consequential day of the first 100 days. Is there an exit strategy for Donald Trump on this?” he asked. “Can he make this sort of series of deals that limit the damage?”

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, President Donald Trump dismissed the idea that he’s pursuing a third presidential term, despite speculation fueled by campaign merchandise.
Kristen Welker, the show’s host, brought up the topic, saying, “The Trump organization is selling hats that say Trump 2028. Are you seriously considering a third term, Mr. President, even though it’s prohibited by the Constitution or is this about staying politically viable?”

President Donald Trump stated in a newly aired interview that the goal of his administration’s current negotiations with Iran is the “total dismantlement” of its nuclear infrastructure. However, he added that he would be open to permitting Iran to maintain a civilian nuclear energy program.
The interview, which took place on Friday and was broadcast Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, spanned numerous topics, including Trump’s early priorities during his second term in office.
NBC host Kristen Welker asked the president directly if he would only accept “total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program” as part of the negotiations.
“Total dismantlement. Yes, that is all I would accept,” Trump answered.

Rav Reuven Kamenetsky, a respected Rosh Kollel in Yerushalayim, has released a recorded message delivering a clear and urgent message regarding the opinion of his revered uncle, Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky.
In the message, Rav Reuven reveals that Rav Shmuel strongly endorses the Eretz HaKodesh slate in the World Zionist Organization (WZO) elections, warning that it would be a tremendous Chilul Hashem if the non-Orthodox movements gain strength at the expense of Torah-aligned parties. He stresses that Torah Jewry must make its voice heard by voting for Eretz HaKodesh.

A recently posted video on the official YouTube channel of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s office has drawn attention after it was edited to omit a moment from a speech earlier this week in which he briefly forgot the name of his son, Avner.
The updated version of the video features an obvious jump cut, removing the segment where Netanyahu mistakenly referred to his son as Abraham before pausing to ask the audience for help recalling the correct name.
“What’s his name?” Netanyahu said before asking someone in the crowd his son’s name. “Avner, thanks.”

President Trump took ABC’s Terry Moran to task during a contentious interview marking Trump’s 100th day back in office, bluntly stating why he agreed to speak with him—and delivering a dose of personal humiliation in the process.
“Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.”

As the interview grew more confrontational, Trump expressed his displeasure with Moran’s tone. “I picked you, but you’re not being very nice,” he complained.
The fiery exchange came as Moran questioned the president over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, raising doubts about whether the man’s tattoos were legitimate proof of gang affiliation.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog opened the country’s Memorial Day events on Tuesday evening with a somber state ceremony at the Kosel in Yerushalayim, honoring fallen Israel Defense Forces soldiers and victims of terrorism.
Speaking alongside Israeli Defense Minister Yisroel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and bereaved families, Herzog issued a passionate call for national unity and demanded the return of all hostages still held in Gaza.

“This year, more than ever, the siren’s sound is also a true alarm,” said Herzog. “It rises like a terrible cry … for the kidnapped, the wounded, the murdered. We will not rest and we will not be still—until all of you come home. Every single one.”

President Trump marked the milestone of his second term’s first 100 days with an energetic rally in Michigan on Tuesday evening, asserting that his administration had achieved more in that short span than others manage in an entire presidency.
“We’ve accomplished more in three months than most administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years,” Trump, 78, declared. “And we’re just getting started.
“Believe me, we’re just getting started.”
Throughout his hour-and-a-half address, Trump highlighted his aggressive immigration stance, economic measures, and strategies to reduce government spending as examples of what he described as a highly effective agenda.
