U.S. President Donald Trump made a series of key policy statements on Sunday while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One. He addressed his plans to buy and control Gaza, negotiations with Russia over Ukraine, concerns over U.S. debt figures, and upcoming tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
Flying to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, Trump detailed his administration’s latest strategies across foreign policy, economic affairs, and trade.
Trump reaffirmed his commitment to buying and owning Gaza, suggesting that parts of the land could be allocated to Middle Eastern states to assist in its reconstruction.
The statement follows his earlier speech, where he declared, “The United States will rebuild Gaza.”
However, details on how such a plan would be implemented remain unclear, and the proposal is expected to draw global scrutiny.
Trump claimed that the U.S. was making progress in negotiations with Russia over the war in Ukraine.
He declined to provide specifics on a recent discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin but suggested that more conversations were expected.
His comments hint at potential diplomatic shifts in U.S. policy toward the conflict.
Trump questioned whether the U.S. debt figures were accurately reported, raising concerns over possible fraud in debt payments.
He stated that the United States carries less debt than previously estimated, contradicting figures from the U.S. Treasury, which reports $36.2 trillion in public debt.
The remarks could signal an upcoming review of government financial policies.
Trump confirmed that on Monday, the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports.
He added that reciprocal tariffs on other imports would be announced midweek, taking effect almost immediately.
The move aligns with his administration’s protectionist trade policies aimed at strengthening domestic industries.
