Reporters arrived at today\u2019s White House briefing with questions that spanned continents \u2013 Greenland, Venezuela, and Iran foremost among them \u2013 and our ears pricked when we heard that it would be Donald Trump himself, not his press secretary, taking the mic.<\/p>\n

But the message the president was determined to deliver was squarely for his domestic audience.<\/p>\n

Unlike all he\u2019s been saying in recent weeks, and his posts on social media last night, Trump deflected lots of foreign policy questions.<\/p>\n

On how far he\u2019s willing to go on Greenland, \u201cyou\u2019ll have to find out\u201d.<\/p>\n

On whether he\u2019s prepared to break up Nato, \u201cI think we\u2019ll work something out\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Iran, “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trump said he was frustrated that his arguments on energy, gas prices, and the cost of living weren\u2019t getting through, and he promised big new plans on housing. That\u2019s all crucial as we head towards November\u2019s mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

Marking the anniversary of his second inauguration, Trump also used the press conference to show off what the administration is calling his \u201c365 wins in 365 days\u201d since returning to office.<\/p>\n

At the top of that list was immigration – with the claim that the number of people in the United States has fallen because of Trump\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump plays to domestic audience as foreign policy questions loompublished at 21:57 GMT 21:57 GMT Gary O’DonoghueChief North…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-381105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
