LIVE: President Trump signs a Proclamation
President Trump: We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, and will be subject to finalization of documents; should get done done in the next few days. Probably have a signing, maybe in Europe. It's a great thing.
President Trump: Under the Obama/Biden administration, radical environmentalists drastically restricted access for fisherman in coastal communities; hundred of thousands of square miles of ocean was cut off by them. They can't fish. Other people could fish, they couldn't. These people weren't allowed to fishโฆthose decisions closed off vast resources, and really, the richest fishing grounds, they say anywhere in the world, destroyed livelihoods, and made the United States more dependent on foreign products.
President Trump: With today's action, we're officially reopening nearly half a million square miles of water around Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.
President Trump: By restoring fishing access to these waters in the Western Pacific, we're reclaiming our maritime heritage, empowering American fisherman, and putting American consumers first with lower prices. You're going to have more fish, lower prices.
President Trump: She comes in, Ilhan Omar, she comes in, she tells us how to run the United States of America, and she comes from a place without anything. Without anything. Probably among the worst countries in the world. And she says, 'The Constitution of the United States protects me'. She shouldn't be protected. She, honestly, she should be thrown out of the country. She's corrupt. And most of the people that came in [from Somalia] are corrupt, and the whole voting system is corrupt in Minnesota.
Reporter: Here in Washington, D.C., there is a democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates, Janeese Lewis George, is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign, focused on socialist policies. How will you feel if she emerges victorious in next Tuesday's election?
President Trump: Well, I wouldn't like it, and maybe we take back Washington, run it on a federal basis. We won't put up with it. We're not going to lose our businesses.
