U.S. President Donald Trump on Truth Social:
"The White House was in very bad condition, both inside and out. Frankly, it was a “dump!” Past Presidents did not take care of it. I love renovating it during my spare time, which is not much. The Department of Interior, and various contractors, are doing a fantastic job. Attached are pictures of BEFORE and AFTER. The exterior “skin” of the Building was practically falling off! It is now in better shape than when built in 1792. Such an Honor to have the privilege of saving this Great Structure! More time without renovation would have destroyed our beloved White House! President DONALD J. TRUMP".
Trump is set to meet major U.S. refiners at the White House Tuesday, days after accusing the industry of price gouging. Talks will center on lowering gasoline prices and boosting refining capacity, per Reuters.
White House press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Iran: “President Trump continues to retain all options on the table, and the naval blockade continues to be in effect as well."
"No negotiations are happening right now with Iran. This will continue until Trump feels that maybe they come to the table in a meaningful way. We haven't seen that yet."
REPORT: The State Department has provided the White House with a file detailing what it described as Ambassador Tom Barrack’s “biggest screwups” over the past 2 years, according to Laura Loomer.
Loomer cited a White House source as saying Barrack’s friendship with President Trump is currently protecting him from being fired, while State Department officials reportedly want him recalled as soon as possible.
Sources tell Fox News and Semafor that President Donald Trump remains "truly undecided" on who will succeed White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. In the meantime, the White House is weighing rotating Cabinet officials at the podium until a permanent replacement is named.

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"During Shannon Bream’s show, they showed pictures of the Military Complex/Ballroom site at the White House. Unfortunately, the pictures were months old, before much work had been started. Now the hardest work is substantially complete with work on the roof/DronePort to begin very shortly. Why didn’t Shannon Bream, “Milktoast” to her friends, show the updated pictures instead of ones that were so old and irrelevant? Her show, Fox News Sunday, is so biased against MAGA, “TRUMP,” and Republicans, that it is ridiculous! Even Chris Wallace was better, and he was really bad (WHERE IS CHRIS WALLACE?). Also, she, Brett B, and others, should stop showing Fake Polls — They’re just embarrassing themselves. It reminds me of the November 5, 2024 Presidential Election, just prior to winning IN A LANDSLIDE, including 7 out of 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, 86% of the Counties, and the Electoral College, 312 to 226! President DONALD J. TRUMP".

Washington Post Report: The Trump administration plans at least $900 million in construction and modernization across the White House grounds. Funding was pulled from other agencies and private donors rather than Congress, then moved into a routine-maintenance account tied to confidential "modernization" contracts.

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"Two Judges, one appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the other by Sleepy Joe Biden, said in a ruling on the desperately needed SECURE Ballroom/Military Complex, including a major DronePort on the roof, that “Each President is a temporary tenant…of the White House.” We are not tenants, who pay rent and do all other things that a tenant must do, we are PRESIDENTS, elected by the people of the United States States of America, and have many rights, including the right to fix, renovate, secure, protect, and beautify the White House grounds, which has been built and rebuilt, renovated and rerenovated, repaired and, simply, MADE BETTER, many times since 1792, and never needing the permission of Congress, or anyone else, to do so. This decision, made after much of the work has been done and paid for, is a National Security Threat at the highest level. It is also a National Disgrace. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP".
CORRECTION: A U.S. appeals court has paused the order blocking President Trump’s White House ballroom project for 14 days, allowing the Trump administration time to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump told the Financial Times he is "not sure" whether the US will license Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptors, saying Washington must be "a little bit careful of who we licence to." Zelensky had said Trump "accepted that he will give us licences" after their White House meeting.
Senior Israeli officials to Channel 12 News: Trump and Netanyahu covered all areas of concern at their White House meeting, with Iran the primary focus. Both reaffirmed their shared commitment to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
