9:27Now PlayingPresident Trump on Sunday, August 2, explained his decision to cancel a new round of major strikes on Iran last weekend, saying that U.S. allies in the Middle East and Iran itself had asked for an alternative to the aggression.
Speaking with reporters the next day, Trump returned to the subject of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, criticizing the decision by District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to drop the case against Olympic canoeist David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the pool.
On Thursday, the president signed executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, expressing displeasure at the Supreme Court's reversal of an earlier action from his administration with similar goals.
