There are no confirmed reports on the subject matter of a national address announced by President Trump for Thursday at 9:00pm.  However, there is speculation in/around DC that President Trump may reveal the outcome of an FBI investigation into the 2020 election system that took place in Fulton County, Georgia.

The rumor that President Trump may be outlining evidence of 2020 election fraud was enough to spontaneously trigger Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice-Chairman Mark Warner.

President Trump calls-in to Fox Morning to discuss the passing of his friend Senator Lindsey Graham and other events of importance.    The discussion about Graham is the first 8 minutes.

The interview is prompted to [8:04] the segment where President Trump is discussing the current status of insufferable negotiations with a duplicitous Iranian negotiating team.  Obviously, President Trump is done with the word games and efforts of the Iran regime to “tap along” the negotiations while never intending to uphold their word or promises.

Previously the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain) urged President Trump to ignore the statements and promises from Iran as they could not be trusted.  However, the GCC -which is ironic considering Qatar intermediaries- then tried to directly negotiate with Iran using Pakistan.

Collectively the GCC, Trump and now NATO are all in the same frame of thinking that Iran is simply just playing games.  As a consequence, U.S. and allied military action is now taking place against Iran on multiple fronts.  WATCH:

The issue was never really about Canada tolling; the real issue was about ‘cost overruns’ against the backdrop of how the tolling revenue was being used for repayment to the govt of Canada.  It’s a rather sticky situation.

The Canadian government backstopped the financing of the bridge construction.  The deal was that Canada would use tolling to pay the govt back and subsequent tolls would split 50/50 with U.S.  However, cost overruns made the Canadian payback a little less clear as the govt expected more revenue than originally proposed.  Sketchy.

The deal currently being revealed as a compromise includes an immediate 50/50 split where Canada gets 50 per cent of the toll profits — after operational expenses — and the other half will go to a U.S-run regional development project for a 15-year time frame.

According to Global News, “The agreement also requires the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority to consult the U.S. on any toll changes greater than 10 per cent, the source said, or if it’s looking to lower tolls below those of comparable regional averages.”  Additionally, in Politico “they will guarantee and ensure that we’re not pouring Chinese cars over that bridge.”

Returning to the U.S. following the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, President Trump delivered remarks to the traveling press pool on a variety of subjects.

President Trump noted there was not a security issue surrounding the decision to switch AF1 in the U.K, gave remarks about the top-line issues from the NATO summit, said he had no information about Senator Mitch McConnell health and clarified that Spain had changed their tone in order to avoid a trade embargo.  WATCH:

President Trump noted the original intent of NATO was a defensive treaty against Soviet aggression. As a consequence of the construct the Europeans should always bear the brunt of responsibility for their collective defense.  Russia does not represent a threat to the United States.

President Donald Trump and the non-elected leader of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

After customary gracious and diplomatic introductions, President Trump held a presser taking questions from the assembled press pool.  The first question was on the issue of Iran targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with President Trump noting each aggressive action by Iran will be met with massive retaliatory action from the U.S. military.

“For 47-years they have been the bully of the Middle-East,” Trump noted, “they are not going to be the bully anymore.”

On the subject of Russia-Ukraine, President Trump complimented Ukraine’s military bravery and stated his belief that Russia is in position to seek a ceasefire agreement.  In a remarkable surprise, President Trump also noted the U.S. is going to give licenses to build Patriot Missile systems in Europe, and those missiles will likely be sold to Ukraine.
