The president said he arranged for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to join a group of Fortune 500 CEOs traveling to Beijing. Huang traveled aboard Air Force One with Elon Musk and others.
President Trump said the Supreme Court ruling reduced expected tariff revenue from $600 billion to roughly half that amount. He stated he would seek other legal avenues to implement tariffs. The president described his approach as combining tariff revenue with equity stakes in companies. He cited the national debt of $38 trillion as a factor in these decisions.
President Trump discussed repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He said a contractor who worked on one of his resort pools would complete the project at lower cost than the original $350 million estimate. The president compared large AI data centers to the Pentagon. He said the data centers are larger than any buildings previously envisioned.
