Kristol pointed to Trump not mentioning Hegseth in his Truth Social post announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon as one of two key pieces of evidence that Hegseth has lost Trump's confidence.
Kushner has in the first 14 months of the second Trump administration sat down with world leaders including Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Volodymyr Zelensky, along with Saudis and multiple other actors from the Middle East.
President Trump is a man of peace. President Trump wants peace. President Trump wants stability. But President Trump has also been clear. America will not be trifled with. America will not be bullied, and America never, ever, be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. Not now. Not ever.
Chuck Todd stated, 'This is a disaster. He has screwed up this country and our foreign policy for decades, and we're going to be paying a price for this for a long time.' He highlighted that the repercussions would manifest in various ways, including at the gas pump and in trade relations.
Hegseth maintained that the zero-enrichment policy was not foisted on him, adding: As someone who, unlike the individual you referenced, is in the presence of the president nearly every day and has been inside every single key meeting that has happened surrounding the idea of Operation Epic Fury, not a single thing has been foisted upon the President of the United States.

One of the earliest exchanges with the guy described as his handler, Rashid Al Malik, in the indictment against Tom Barrack involved his success at editing a Trump speech otherwise calling for energy independence to include a commitment to "work together with our supportive allies in the Gulf."

Speaking out on Thursday, the two members of Congress reflected a national Democratic leadership that-finally, belatedly-seems to have found its collective voice in responding to what Donald Trump has unleashed on America since returning to office a year ago. Some of the President's most fervent opponents now believe, as the never-Trump conservative Charlie Sykes wrote on Thursday morning, that the recent news out of Minnesota marked a breaking point for 'patriotic, non-political normies.'
