Trump’s 22nd week in office: Here’s what happened this past week

president Donald Trump spent his twenty -second week at the Oval Office participating in the Group 7 summit, while he was dealing with the conflict in the Middle East, after Israel launched preventive strikes on Iran after months of attempts and nuclear negotiations suspended amid anxiety concern that Iran was advancing on its nuclear program.

The country and the world waited during the twenty -second week of Trump as the highest leader to find out how the president planned to respond to the crisis in the Middle East.

The week started after the president celebrated his seventy -ninth birthday and participated in the huge show in Washington, DC, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States army on Saturday.

Then he traveled on Sunday night to Alberta, Canada, G-7, where he participated in multiple meeting sessions with the allies. The president met with leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union.

But the situation in the Middle East brought the president back to the White House early.

Israel’s initial strikes in Iran on June 12 were part of the “RISing Lion”, which targeted the Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure. The strikes have killed senior Iranian military leaders and beyond.

Iran said that the strikes were a “declaration of war”, and launched its own strikes on Israel – with a barrage of missiles that hit the Jewish state throughout the week, as some penetrated the defense of the Israeli iron dome and caused the destruction.

On his way back to Washington, the President, the President stressed that Iran is “very close” to develop a nuclear weapon.

Earlier in June, the International Atomic Energy Agency estimated that Iranian stocks included 60 % of enriched uranium that could become 90 %. Last week, General Eric Corella, head of the US Central Command, said before Israel’s preventive strikes that Iran had materials to build a nuclear weapon within one week.

The Trump administration participated in talks with Iran to conclude a deal on its nuclear program, and urged the Islamic State to hold a deal. But the country withdrew from the ongoing talks with the United States. The latest round of talks was to be held on June 15.

The president said, on Monday night, before leaving the Group of Seven, again, that Iran “should have signed the” deal “that I told them to sign.”

Trump said: “What a shame, and a waste of human life.” “Simply put, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

In fact, the president added, “He said that again and again!”

“Everyone should evacuate Tehran immediately!” Trump published.

Trump weighs amazing Iranian nuclear facilities: “I may do that, I may not do that.”

By Tuesday, the President announced that the United States “has full control over the sky on Iran.” He also said that the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khounai, had been identified.

The president said that our crude is “an easy goal”, but he was “safe” in his hidden place.

“We will not take it out (killing), at least at the present time,” the president said. “But we do not want to shoot missiles for civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.”

As for whether the United States will strike Iranian nuclear facilities, the president said: “I may do that, I may not do so.”

“Yes, I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, no one knows what I will do. I can tell you that, that Iran is facing a lot of troubles, and they want to negotiate,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday. “And I said, why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn’t you go?

Trump, who dates back to his first administration, said he refused to broadcast his military plans early. The White House said the president will make its decision on how to deal with Iran in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, anti -migration and customs riots that erupted in Los Angeles were slowed earlier in June when the president was waiting for the ruling of the Federal Court in the case of California Governor Gavin Gavome against the Trump administration to send it to the National Guard without his authority.

Trump, earlier in June, ordered the National Guard to help law enforcement amid violent protests.

On Thursday night, the US Appeals Court of the Ninth Chamber sentenced Trump, saying that the president is allowed to control the forces of the National Guard deployed in Los Angeles. The ruling remained an order in the minimum order to lead the forces to news.

The president has not taken a decision regarding the deployment of the National Guard without permission from the state ruler since 1965.

Trump, in a publication of a reality of social truth, praised the Court of Appeal for their decision, describing it as a “victory”.

“A great victory in the Court of Appeal in the ninth district over the President’s Basic Communication Authority!” Trump published. “It is clear that the judges realized that the NewScum Gavum is inconvenient, but this is much larger than Gavin, because in all parts of the United States, if our cities, our people, we need protection, and we who offer them should mention and the local police are unable, for any reason, to accomplish the task.”

The president added: “This is a great decision for our country, and we will continue to protect and defend Americans who are committed to the law. Congratulations to the ninth circle, America is proud of you tonight!”

By Friday, Vice Vice President JD Vance traveled to Los Angeles to take a tour at the Center for multi -agent federal operations and the FBI.

The Vice President also met with federal law enforcement leaders who were deployed in Los Angeles, as well as the American Marine Corps spread in the city.
