Trump admin updates: Trump teases 'big day' at White House

Trump said that he met with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent Monday afternoon, according to a post on the president’s social media platform.

"The meeting was very interesting. His success and rise is an amazing story," Trump said Tan.

"Mr. Tan and my Cabinet members are going to spend time together, and bring suggestions to me during the next week," he continued.

The meeting occurred after Trump demanded Tan’s resignation on social media last week.

Wrapping up a press conference in the White House briefing room, President Donald Trump declared, "We're going to be taking back our capital."

"It's going to be a model. And then we'll look at other cities also, but other cities are studying what we're doing. And you have some capable people in other cities, they can do it too. But we have a great group of professionals, we're going to have a safe, beautiful capital and it's going to happen very quickly," Trump added.

President Donald Trump said he believed the United States and Russia could engage in trade talks as a result of the upcoming meeting of the president and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Asked if he believed "normal trade" could happen between the U.S. and Russia should the meeting go well, Trump said "I do."

"Russia has a very valuable piece of land. If Vladimir Putin would go toward business instead of toward war, you know, it's a warring nation. That's what they do," Trump said.

President Donald Trump was asked on Monday about his upcoming sit-down with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

"This is really a feel-out meeting, a little bit," Trump said.

"President Putin invited me to get involved. He wants us to get involved. I think, I believe, he wants to get it over," he said.

Trump said he would call European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy immediately after he and Putin meet.

"The next meeting will be with Zelenskyy and Putin, or Zelenskyy and Putin and me. I'll be there if they need, but I want to have a meeting set up between the two leaders," the president said.
