mr. president, thank you very much. mr. president, what's your view about the regional changes you want to do? and the other question, what's your view -- and all the much more military stance? prime minister netanyahu: i think the president just said i think is the pivot of everything we're talking about. he said iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. and we fully agree with that if this goal can be achieved by a maximum pressure campaign, so be it. but i think the most porn thing is to focus on the goal, which the president just did. and i fully agree with him. president trump: i said it and he said it very well. it's -- it's a campaign of pressure to see if we can get something done. he doesn't want to do what some people think will automatically happen because they're very difficult people to deal with as you know. but if we could solve this problem without warfare, without all of the things that you've been witnessing over the last number of years, it will be -- i think it will be a tremendous thing. go ahead, please. repor

mr. president, mr. vought is dangerous and he has a total disregard for the constitution, congress, and the millions of hardworking americans impacted by decisions he will make at omb. americans need to know that omb is extremely powerful with oversight over the president's budget and functionally, all federal agency action, including regulatory decisions. with such responsibility, the person leading this office needs to be levelheaded and impartial. they need to put loyalty to the constitution above loyalty to the president. mr. vought, however, is the ultimate yes man. in trump's first term, as acting omb director, vought wrote a budget that, among other things, would have cut nearly $1 trillion from medicaid, slashed nearly $300 billion from social safety net programs like food assistance, eliminated $170 billion from student loans, and zeroed out programs like liheap and community development block grants to help with housing assistance and building community infrastructure. just like for families,

mr. president, can you discuss what your plan is for reciprocal trade. u signing anything on that today? president trump: i'll be announcing that next week, reciprocal trade so that we'll be treated equally to other countries. i'll be announcing that next week and many other things not related to trade. but sometime next week we'll have a news conference and lay it out. pretty simple. it affect everybody. reciprocal. we'll be talking about that next week.

mr. president. mr. president, last week i came to the floor to talk about the chaos that has been created by the announced proposed freeze on federal funding and loans. i want to share a few stories about what i've seen and heard since i spoke on the floor last week. sharpsburg is near my hometown of springfield, illinois, and it has a water system in christian county. it's in phase three of construction of a rural water project. 18 miles of pipeline which will provide water -- excuse me. sorry. that may be a first on the senate floor. i apologize. it contains 18 miles of pipeline providing water to 50 new rural customers. the work is under way. the project is nearly complete. it will be in jeopardy if there is a freeze permitted to take effect. what does it mean? it means that these 50 homes and families will be without clean, safe, and affordable water. that is unacceptable. the freeze also means that scie scientists at universities across the state are worried about their jobs and research. children w

mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to be able to complete my remarks before the vote. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. cornyn: mr. president, i'd like to continue along the theme that our majority whip has talked about, particularly their hand-wringing that we're hearing and fearmongering we're hearing from some of our democratic colleagues over president trump's promise to secure the border and the actions that he has taken already in his administration to do exactly that, including enforcing our existing laws by repatriating or deporting people who have no legal right to be here in the first place. so instead of the fearmongering of mass deportations, you might just call it enforcing the law. something that's long overdue and that the biden administration did not do. because the fearmongering is not based on reality. our democratic colleagues would have the american people believe that an elderly grandmother down the street, a peaceful neighbor who would never hurt a fly

mr. president. mr. president, i just come from a meeting with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. our meeting comes on the heels of incredibly good news for everyone, and that's that shoblgs are coming home -- hostages are coming home. earlier this week, keith siegel, an american hostage was released verge he's a 65-year-old american citizen who lives in israel, a father, a grandfather, and on october 27, 2023, he was a abducted by hamas, taken to the underground tunnels. his wife was also held hostage. he was held prisoner by the terrorists for 484 days. the conditions, we know, were hellish. he's finally free, united with his family, and recovering in a hospital. we look forward to more of these mom mom moments. they're the results of bold action by president trump. as prime minister netanyahu said this week, president trump is the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. we all celebrate the good news. we're also keeping an eye on alarming news, the news is the rise of ant

mr. president. i'm honored that you invited me to be the first foreign leader to visit the white house in your second term. this is a testament to your friendship and support for the jewish state and the jewish people. i've said this before. i'll say it again. you are the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. and that's why the people of israel have such enormous respect for you in your first term, you recognized jerusalem as israel's capital. you moved the american embassy there. you recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights. you withdrew from the disastrous iran nuclear deal. i remember we spoke about it. you said this is the worst deal i've ever seen. i'm elected. i'm walking out of it. that's exactly what you did. and i think it it speaks loudly for just common sense. just looking at things and seeing them as they are. and of course, you also brokered the groundbreaking abraham accords, in which israel made peace with four arab states. we did this in four months. no

mr. president. u just said that you. >> think all all the palestinians should be relocated to other countries. does that mean that you do not support the two state solution? >> it doesn't mean anything about a two state or a one state or any other state. it means that we want to have we want to give people a chance at life. they have never had a chance at life, because the gaza strip has been a hellhole for people living there. it's been horrible. now hamas has made it so bad, so bad, so dangerous, so unfair to people. and by doing what i'm recommending that we do, it's a very strong recommendation, but it is a strong recommendation. by doing that, we think we're going to bring perhaps great peace to long beyond this area. and i have to stress, this is not for israel. this is for everybody in the middle east, arabs, muslims, this is for everybody. this would be where they can partake in terms of jobs and living and all of the other benefits. and i think it's very important. it just doesn't work the o

the presiding officer: without objection. mr. cassidy: mr. president, i'd like to make a statement regarding my vote in committee to -- on behalf of robert f. kennedy to be secretary of hhs. first i think everyone who has contacted me over the last few days, almost all have been respectful and seek the best for our country. i have been contacted by text, phone, and e-mail. if i didn't respond to anyone, it's not to be rude, it's just i was getting hundreds of messages a day personally and thousands through the office and i just physically could not. mr. president, believe it or hot, of these hundreds of people calling or kakting me -- contacting me, many of them disagree with each other three dimensionally, they disagreed. the unifying factor is they all sdooir the best for -- desire the best for our country even though they differ from each other so much, and maybe that kind of frames my feelings about this nomination. for context, before entering politics, before even thinking about running for political office, i practiced medicine for 30 y

mr. president, and also together with the united states, japan and myself are determined to work hand in hand to bring peace to the world and also enable people to have their dream and their hope. president trump: thank you very much. i just want to say former prime minister was a great friend of mine. i couldn't have felt worse when that happened to him, a horrible event and he was a friend of yours and had respect for you and talked about the people in japan and as does mrs. abbe and came and visited at mar-a-lago, she was impressed by the job you are doing and i thought it was very nice but he had very respect for you and it's an honor on his behalf to say it is an honor to be with you. he was a good friend of mine. he was a wonderful man.

mr. president. are there any specific concessions that you will be asking for from japan that you can share? >> we'll be having i think it will be very easy for japan. we have a fantastic relationship. i don't think we'll have any problem whatsoever. they want fairness also. >> yes, whatever. kash patel nada bashir kara alaimo. sami abu zuhri is. thom tillis mr. president, do you have a reaction to the new time magazine cover that has elon musk sitting behind your resolute desk at time magazine? elon musk. comment dara massicot. >> is time magazine still in business? i didn't even know that. >> time magazine. >> elon is doing a great job. he's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste. you see it with the usaid, but you're going to see it even more so with other agencies and other parts of government. he's got a staff that's fantastic. he's wanted to be able to do this for a long time, and everybody else knew it was existent. but i think never so much. when you look at usaid. that's a that's
