"On the one-year anniversary of the start of his second term, US President Donald Trump spent 104 minutes in the White House press room listing his accomplishments. Trump started the briefing by showing a stack of photos of people who had been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, the site of large-scale raids and counterprotests as well as the fatal shooting of an American citizen by an ICE agent."
"Trump also took questions, many of which addressed foreign policy, including his efforts to acquire Greenland, his establishment of a Board of Peace to oversee reconstruction in Gaza, and the state of the government in Venezuela after the US abduction of its then-leader, Nicolas Maduro. The press conference came a day before Trump's scheduled departure to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. On the economy, Trump said, Everyone said, Oh tariffs will cause inflation.' We have no inflation. We have very little inflation."
