President Trump is preparing for his Friday summit in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin as more details emerge about the historic meeting.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday morning that more sanctions were among the “tools at his disposal” after the president threatened Russia with “consequences” if the peace process doesn’t commence.
This week, the president’s other focus is the federalization of the D.C. police force and deployment of the National Guard in the District. The move has sparked backlash from some residents as law enforcement presence has increased in the city.
On Truth Social late Wednesday, Trump ripped the city over its crime rate, saying it is higher than the mayor says it is. On Thursday morning, he promoted a U.S. Marshals Service social media post that touted its work overnight.
Trump, later on Thursday, will sign a proclamation on Social Security, on the entitlement’s 90th birthday.
