President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland

Trump: Thank you very much. It’s a great pleasure to have President Naraki with us — in Poland. He did a good job with that — right? Maybe a little different pronunciation. I said I want to get it perfect. Did I get it right? Yeah? Good, good. No, we’re okay. I better get it right.

And the President’s been, uh, amazing. He had an incredible race. He came from behind and he won very handily. The people of Poland have taken to him immediately; they really love him. There’s great love and respect. He’s a very successful man, but he — he went into a political “hatchet,” so to speak. It was a pretty tough race, pretty nasty race, and he beat them all — and he beat them all very easily. And now he’s become even more popular as they got to know him, and know him better. He’s doing a really fantastic job. Continue reading “President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland”

President Trump Holds a Cabinet Meeting, Aug. 26, 2025

Trump:
Hello. Thank you very much. Are you all set? You all ready? Nice group. Big group. But I want to thank you all for being here as we prepare to celebrate Labor Day, when we honor the incredible, hardworking men and women of our country—which is doing very well.

I have to tell you, every policy of the Trump administration is designed to lift up the American worker, promote great-paying blue-collar jobs, and rebuild the industrial bedrock of our nation. It’s also, obviously, for great defense. We have the greatest military in the world. We rebuilt it largely in my first term. Some of it was stupidly given away to Afghanistan—for what reason, nobody can figure out.

But it was still a relatively small amount compared to the concept of what they did. However, the country is doing well. We’re respected all over the world like never before, probably. We went to NATO, as you know, and they went from 2% to 5% of GDP. Nobody expected that. And the difference is—they didn’t pay the two, and they paid the five. So, as you know, we are selling a tremendous amount of equipment to NATO. We’re not spending any money. We’re making money. Continue reading “President Trump Holds a Cabinet Meeting, Aug. 26, 2025”

President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Korea August 25, 2025

President Trump:

Well, that’s a big crowd. This is a very large crowd. You get more than most countries, I have to say. This is a very good crowd of the media.

It’s an honor to be with President Lee of South Korea. Uh, we’ve known each other and gotten along very well. We have some additional trade because I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s okay. I don’t mind that. That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind.

But we’re going to have some very serious discussions about different things, including trade, where we do a lot with South Korea, as you know. We’re thinking about contracting some ships. They build them very well in South Korea. They’re also thinking about coming to our country with some shipyards to start us on the process of building ships again. Do you know, in World War II, we’d build a ship a day? And today we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. We’re going to start that again.

We were like you—we were building ships all the time for everybody. And presidents and people allowed that to slip by. Now we buy ships, but we’re going to be buying ships from South Korea. We’re also going to have them make ships here, with our people, using our people, and we’re going to go back into the shipbuilding business again. Because, really, essentially, we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. How that ever happened—but we were the best at it.
