APTOPIX Trump

Hamas said Friday that it reached an agreement to disarm, a significant move that could help end the war in Gaza — but one that will face many hurdles and could take a long time if ever to achieve. Israel has not commented on the deal, which President Donald Trump announced hours earlier. Fighting has continued despite a ceasefire the U.S. brokered nine months ago. Trump is taking his Friday’s Cabinet meeting on the road to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. And he remains bitter over moves by two Republican senators to put the brakes on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination for the full-time post.

President Donald Trump has used his Cabinet meeting at the historic Camp David retreat in Maryland to boast of his administration’s achievements while seizing on a migrant crisis in Spain. Trump on Friday discussed the economy, Iran and immigration and made his case for why voters should choose Republicans in the midterm elections. Trump referenced the recent surge of migrants into a tiny territory of Spain and claimed the same thing is going to happen to the U.S. if Republicans don’t get elected. The White House spent the morning highlighting that the meeting was the first televised Cabinet meeting at Camp David, which was established in 1942 during Franklin Roosevelt's presidency.
