After strike on Iran, Trump focuses on his megabill

Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks on Friday after landing in Los Angeles and touring federal law enforcement operations.

Vance accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass of encouraging violent protesters and accused Newsom of “endangering law enforcement.”

“Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, by treating this city as a sanctuary city, have basically said that it is open season on federal law enforcement,” the vice president said.

“What happened here was a tragedy. You had people who were doing the simple job of enforcing the law, and they had rioters egged on by the governor and the mayor, making it harder to do their job. That is disgraceful, and it is why the president has responded so forcefully,” said Vance.

“If you let violent rioters burn great American cities to the ground, then of course, we are going to send federal law enforcement in,” Vance said when asked if he was pleased with Thursday’s federal appeals court ruling.

When asked by a reporter to comment on Democratic lawmakers getting handcuffed recently, Vance incorrectly referred to Sen. Alex Padilla as "José Padilla."

"I was hoping José Padilla would be here to ask a question. But, unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater, and that’s all it is,” Vance said. “It’s pure political theater. These guys show up. They want to be captured on camera doing something."

Padilla was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference earlier this month in LA, taken to the ground and handcuffed by law enforcement officers.

President Trump plans to travel to the NATO Summit next week with a couple of key goals in mind, a senior administration official told reporters Friday.

At the top of Trump's priorities: securing 5% defense spending from NATO members, urging alliance members to revitalize their industrial capacities for critical minerals and weapons, and bilateral meetings to reaffirm commitment to allies.

On NATO defense spending, the senior administration official said that Trump wants to "secure a historic 5% defense spending pledge from NATO allies, which will strengthen the alliance's combined military capabilities and ensure greater stability in Europe and the world," the official said.

The senior administration official said that Trump will also "urge allies to revitalize their industrial capacities in order to create Western supply chains capable of producing the critical minerals infrastructure, weapons and other products necessary for the security of America and her allies."

Lastly, the official said that Trump, "intends to hold bilateral meetings with several world leaders, which will focus on issues of shared concern and reaffirm the United States' strong ties with our allies and partners."

President Donald Trump, taking reporter questions after arriving in New Jersey on Friday afternoon, was asked for the calculus behind his two-week timeline to make a decision on whether to strike Iran.

"Time to see whether or not people come to their senses," Trump responded.

Trump also said it would be "very hard" to ask Israel to stop its attacks on Iran as different parties pursue diplomacy. Iran's foreign minister said on Friday that Israel must stop its "crimes and aggression" and added that Iran will not negotiate with any party as long as Israeli attacks continue,

"I think it is very hard to make that request right now," Trump told reporters. "If someone is winning, it's harder to do than if someone is losing. But we are ready and willing and able, and have been speaking to Iran and we will see what happens."

A federal judge is prohibiting the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

In the latest victory for Harvard in its legal battle with the Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs entered a preliminary injunction on Friday afternoon that blocks the revocation of Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, which allows the school to enroll international students.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security abruptly tried to revoke the school’s certification before walking back the policy. Judge Burroughs ordered the Department of Homeland Security to “restore every visa holder and applicant” who would have been granted their visas absent the sudden policy change.

Judge Burroughs had issued a series of temporary orders blocking the Trump administration from limiting Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, though her decision still allows the Department of Homeland Security to try the lengthy administrative avenue to limiting international students at Harvard.
