President Donald Trump spent part of his Monday trolling Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host questioned the president’s handling of Iran and conflict in the Middle East.
Last week in a newsletter, Carlson accused Trump of being “complicit” in Israel’s strikes against Iran that sparked the current days-long exchange between the two Middle Eastern powers. The newsletter <a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1933530302120669523">arrived</a> in the inboxes of Carlson’s readers under the headline: “This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.”
“Earlier this week, unnamed Washington sources expressed concern over Israel’s ability to fend off Iran’s retaliation, which would inevitably lead to Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the American military to step in and fight on his country’s behalf,” Carlson wrote. “On Thursday, Iran’s president threatened to ‘destroy’ any country that eliminates his government’s nuclear facilities. Now, the world will learn what that looks like.”
Trump responded to Carlson’s criticisms while attending the Group of Seven Summit in Canada.
“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Trump posted on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114695595047194931">Truth Social</a> on Monday evening.
Earlier in the day, Trump dismissed a question from a reporter on Carlson’s concerns.
“I don&#8217;t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,” said Trump, appearing to jab at Carlson over his exit from Fox News. Carlson now runs his own media business, the Tucker Carlson Network, and hosts a popular interview podcast.
Trump’s support for Israel and his Middle East policy appears to have alienated Carlson, as well as other isolationist-minded supporters. The comic Dave Smith recently called for Trump’s impeachment over the president’s handling of Iran.
“I supported him this last year. I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one, but he should be impeached and removed for this one,” Smith <a href="https://x.com/krystalball/status/1934628084390543399">said</a> on a recent episode of “Breaking Points.” “All of his supporters should turn on him. It&#8217;s the absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on and everything that he stood for.”

Trump Lays Into ‘Kooky’ Tucker Carlson Over Opposition To Israeli Strikes On Iran

President Donald Trump plans to leave an economic summit of world leaders early because of the conflict in the Middle East.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X Monday that Trump had planned to stay at the economic summit longer, but will return to Washington Monday night “because of what’s going on in the Middle East.” Trump left Washington for Canada this week to meet with world leaders at the Group of Seven Summit.
“President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,” said Leavitt.

The change in the president’s plans came as he posted a warning to residents in Tehran to leave the city immediately. The Iranian capital has been bombarded for days by Israel in targeted strikes on military and other key locations.
“Iran should have signed the &#8216;deal&#8217; I told them to sign,” said Trump on Truth Social. “What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Earlier Monday, the president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-trump-says-tehran-wants-to-talk-about-ceasefire-after-pummeling-from-israel">confirmed</a> that Iran has reached out through intermediaries to negotiate to end the conflict.
“They’d like to talk, but they should have done that before,” the president told reporters at the summit. “I had 60 days, and they had 60 days. On the 61st day, I said, ‘We don’t have a deal.’ They have to make a deal, and it’s painful for both parties. But I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late.”
While at the summit, world leaders were floated a draft of a joint statement on the Israel-Iran conflict that, among other stances, would have pushed both sides to negotiate and end to the conflict. Trump reportedly refused to sign on to the joint statement.

Trump To Leave G7 Early Over ‘What’s Going On In The Middle East,’ White House Says

President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday announced a trade agreement to cut tariffs between the two countries.
The two leaders announced the trade agreement on the sidelines of the Group of Seven Summit in Canada. The president said the deal is “fair to both sides.”
“We have our trade agreement with the [United Kingdom] and it&#8217;s a fair deal for both, and it&#8217;s going to produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income, and we have many, many other ones coming,” said Trump. “The level of enthusiasm is very good, but the relationship that we have is fantastic.”
Starmer called the deal a “really important agreement.”
“This is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength. So, thank you again, Donald. A really important day for both of us,” he said.

A copy of the general agreement released by the White House would set a 10% tariff for the first 100,000 vehicles imported into the United States from Britain. The agreement would also remove a host of tariffs on aerospace products.
The agreement does not set final terms for trade on steel and aluminum. The outline said that the British government would be working to meet American standards for supply chain security.

Trump and Starmer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-to-announce-major-trade-deal-with-united-kingdom">announced</a> in May that the United States and United Kingdom had reached agreement on vehicles, steel, and aluminum.
“The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come,” the president posted on Truth Social at the time. “Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement.”

‘Fair To Both Sides’: Trump, U.K. Prime Minister Starmer Say They Have A Deal On Trade

President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran wants to “talk” about a deescalation with Israel after suffering days of bombardment.
Trump is attending the Group of Seven summit in Canada this week and confirmed to reporters that he has seen messages passed from Iran through intermediaries that Tehran wants to pause hostilities between itself and Israel, according to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-g7-canada-trade-tensions-middle-east/">CBS News</a>. The president said that Iran “should have done that before” Israel began its attack.
“They’d like to talk, but they should have done that before,” said Trump. “I had 60 days, and they had 60 days. On the 61st day, I said, ‘We don’t have a deal.’ They have to make a deal, and it’s painful for both parties. But I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late.”
Tehran has expressed a willingness to negotiate to end hostilities, reaching out to Israel and the United States through intermediaries, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/a-battered-iran-signals-it-wants-to-de-escalate-hostilities-with-israel-and-negotiate-9feab4ae?mod=hp_trendingnow_article_pos2">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported earlier Monday.
World leaders at the G7 Summit were floated a draft statement on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. Among other items, the statement endorses a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and calls for both sides to protect civilians. Trump does not plan to sign the statement, according to CBS.
Iran’s willingness to talk comes as Israel continues targeted strikes against Iranian military personnel, ballistic missile launchers and stockpiles, nuclear refinement facilities, and other key sites. On Monday, Israel targeted Iran’s state-run broadcaster, which Israel said provided cover for the Iranian regime.
Iran has responded with missile and drone barrages. Most of the ordinance has been intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome, but some explosives have passed through and hit population centers such as Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined Israel’s successes so far in the four-day blitz of Iran’s most important sites.
“So far, we’ve killed 10” senior nuclear scientists, said the prime minister, according to <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-lays-out-key-israeli-achievements-in-taking-out-iranian-leadership-scientists-nuclear-sites-and-missiles/">The Times Of Israel</a>. “Our arm is still outstretched. There are a few; we will get to them.”
Netanyahu also said that Israel had delivered “an extremely severe strike” to Iran’s uranium enrichment facility in Natanz. “We are continuing to destroy nuclear targets systematically,” he added.
“We eliminated Iran’s security leadership, including three chiefs of staff,” he said. “We are eliminating them one by one.”
He also noted that Israel continues to strike and degrade Iran’s ballistic missile capacity and Tehran’s ability to hit Israel.

Trump Says Tehran Wants To ‘Talk’ About Ceasefire After Pummeling From Israel

One person is confirmed to have survived the crash of an Air India passenger jet that claimed the lives of over 240 people on board.
Air India confirmed the survivor’s status, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/12/world/india-plane-crash-ahmedabad/india-plane-crash-ahmedabad?smid=url-share">The New York Times</a>. Viswash Kumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old British national of Indian origin, was on board the flight returning to the United Kingdom after visiting family in India. A brother of Ramesh was also on board the flight.
Ramesh was sitting near an emergency exit on the plane in seat 11A. He managed to get out of the plane via the exit and was placed in an ambulance by emergency personnel, according to police.
Video appeared to catch a bloody Ramesh limping away from the crash site, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/india-plane-crash-ahmedabad-994f2876cc699465cecd23b3facd1a47">Associated Press</a>.
“As soon as the flight took off, within 30 seconds it crashed. There was no warning from the pilot or the crew members about the crash. When I found myself alive after the crash, I saw bodies ripped apart,” Ramesh told the <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/dreamliner-disaster-101749755485015.html">Hindustan Times</a>. “My leg was injured but I ran as fast as I could.”
Ajay Valgi, Ramesh’s cousin, said that Ramesh called his family after the crash to tell them that he was “fine.” Valgi added that he does not know what happened to Ramesh’s brother, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyzepxnd41o">BBC</a>.
The plane was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and was headed to Gatwick Airport in Britain after taking off from an airport in Ahmedabad.

Most of the 242 passengers and staff on board the flight were Indian. Fifty-three were British citizens and eight others hailed from Portugal and Canada. Eleven of the passengers were children.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a statement: “The tragedy in Ahmedabad has stunned and saddened us. It is heartbreaking beyond words. In this sad hour, my thoughts are with everyone affected by it. Have been in touch with Ministers and authorities who are working to assist those affected.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the British foreign office is investigating the crash alongside Indian authorities.
“The images and news from India is absolutely devastating, and I speak for the entire country saying our thoughts are with each and every one of those involved. There will be British and Indian families across the land who are absolutely impacted by this, and our thoughts first and foremost are with them,” Starmer said.

‘I Saw Bodies Ripped Apart’: Sole Survivor Of Air India Flight Details Harrowing Crash

Democratic strategy to beating President Donald Trump and the GOP revolves around “attention-seeking,” according to Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.
The latest evidence of Shapiro’s theory came Thursday and involved Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla, who was <a href="https://x.com/DailySignal/status/1933225600686149925">handcuffed</a> after unexpectedly barging into a press conference for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Shapiro called Padilla’s actions “insanity” and said law enforcement on the scene acted appropriately to stop what they believed to be a security risk.
“[Padilla] basically just rushed in and started yelling at her, yelling at her questions, and security appears not to know who he is,” said Shapiro. “They don&#8217;t know him from Adam. It&#8217;s not like he cleared his presence with security.”
Padilla crashed a press conference Noem gave in Los Angeles regarding ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the area. Padilla’s brief detainment has drawn loud condemnations from Democrats who claim to be holding the Trump administration accountable.
The stunt is the latest in a string of Democratic antics designed to draw attention, but that have little real impact, according to Shapiro.
“Let&#8217;s be clear: Democrats are all looking for attention right now. Everything is about attention-seeking,” he said. “If you think of Democrats, at this point, as a series of 5-year-olds who are desperate for mommy&#8217;s attention, then their behavior starts to make a lot more sense.”

Shapiro cited New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who set a record for the longest filibuster speech in U.S. Senate history in April. The Daily Wire host also named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who appeared to mimic the motion of being in handcuffs while she was arrested for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court in 2022.
“The Democrats are solely reliant still on this idea that whoever resists Trump the most strongly wins, that all you have to do is just yell at orange man bad and yell at members of the orange-man-bad cabinet, and that will somehow result in a magical victory for Democrats,” Shapiro continued.
“I don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re thinking,” he said. “They&#8217;ve tried this now for a full decade. If your strategy isn&#8217;t working after a full decade, you might want to try a different strategy.”
