I have questions… Why is the U.S. Treasury secretary doing media rounds about Trump’s war in the first place, then suddenly getting summoned into the Situation Room? Clearly, Scott Bessent comes back looking shook. If the war strategy is so solid, why yank him out of a live interview?

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
