Trump Boasts Economic Achievements, Attacks Somalia and Omar, and Discusses Venezuela

Donald Trump, in a recent press conference, presented data on his economic success, such as the rise of the stock market and the increase in deposits. At the same time, he launched fierce attacks on Somalia and Representative Ilhan Omar, describing Somalia as the "worst country in the world". Trump also referred to the situation in Venezuela, expressing his desire to "involve" opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in the government, despite having previously excluded her from his strategy. He stated that Machado is a "kind woman" who could contribute to the country's recovery. Regarding tariffs, Trump said he does not know the Supreme Court's decision on their legality, but warned that Washington may need to return billions of dollars if it loses the legal battle. He also reiterated that no one has done more for NATO than he has. Finally, Trump announced that his government will focus on combating drugs entering the US by land, having already achieved success in tackling drugs arriving by sea through air strikes.
