Trump to welcome Saudi Crown Prince to White House

Tue, Nov 18, 2025 at 6:36 am

President Trump welcomes the Saudi crown prince to the White House. The visit begins with a formal arrival ceremony, followed by talks in the Oval Office and lunch. In the evening, the White House will put on a lavish dinner. It has all the trappings of a state visit, but it’s an official visit because Crown Prince Mohammed is not technically a head of state. He and the president are expected to formalize several economic and military agreements.

GOP Promises Thorough Oversight Hearings On Trump Executive Moves

Wed, Sep 24, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Senate Republicans say upcoming hearings will provide thorough oversight of President Trump’s use of executive power. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) says he;s observed a lot of presidents and says they all try to exert as much executive power as they can. Then he says as a matter of course those decisions often have to face scutiny from the courts and Congress, Thune told CNN Republican senators “have a responsibility as an independent, coequal branch of the government to make sure that we’re doing appropriate oversight of these decisions.”

Trump Wants Normalized Relations Between Israel and Saudi Arabia

Sun, Nov 16, 2025 at 10:06 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump has not been subtle about how badly he wants to see Saudi Arabia and Israel normalize relations. Correspondent Bernie Bennett has details.

VERBATIM:
The President has talked up his push to extend his first term Abraham Accords – the project that formalized commercial and diplomatic ties between Israel and a trio of Arab nations – as key to his plan for bringing long-term stability to the Middle East as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza continues to hold.

The normalization push is expected to be high on the agenda when Mr. Trump hosts Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday for talks during a pomp-filled White House visit.

Bernie Bennett, Washington.

A date has been set for a key Supreme Court case

VERBATIM: The justices will sit on January 13th to hear arguments on the constitutionality of two state laws that bar boys from playing on girls sports teams in Idaho and West Virginia. A growing number of states are passing similar statues amidst backlash from parents, coaches and feminists over the gradual invasion of female sports by males. A ruling in the case is expected in the summer of next year and promises to be another landmark. MH REPORTING
