1. Trump said that after the 60-day grace period in the Strait of Hormuz, he will not impose tolls unless the tolls are collected by the United States and shared. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, the United States may collect tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. 2. Trump admitted that his main reason for signing the interim peace memorandum between the United States and Iran was his concern about a global economic collapse. The agreement reopened the Strait of Hormuz, exempted Iran from oil sanctions, led to a drop in oil prices, and an increase in the US stock market. The US concerns about economic crisis also put them in a weak position in the subsequent negotiations between the US and Iran. 3. Trump said that Iran has been "completely defeated" militarily. 4. Trump reiterated that without the United States, there would be no Israel, and said that by terminating the Iran nuclear agreement and targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, he was protecting Israel. Though he is friendly with Netanyahu, he demands that he remain rational and is confident that Israel will listen to the US and that the US can restrain Israeli attacks on Lebanon. 5. Trump stated that the US no longer considers the American artificial intelligence company, Anthropic, a national security threat. 6. Trump took to social media to accuse Italian Prime Minister Meloni of repeatedly seeking a photo opportunity during the G7 summit, criticizing her for not cooperating with the US on the issue of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and for refusing to open Italian airport runways for US military use. He stated that the US invests a huge amount of money each year to protect Italy and other NATO allies. 7. Trump will attend the Senate Republican lunch meeting next Wednesday.
