White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday drew a hard line against quickly blaming the government in the midst of a tragedy – in this case, the deadly floods in Texas.

President Trump said he would visit Texas on July 11 as the state reels after more than 100 people have been confirmed dead in devastating flooding.

Former Biden State Department official Monica Medina says President Trump should "stop mocking climate change" after the catastrophic floods in Texas.

Trump said after a call last week with Putin that he was unhappy with Russia’s president and “I don’t think he’s looking to stop” the war. Then, speaking at the start of a dinner he hosted for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday night, Trump said, “I’m not happy with President Putin at all.”

President Trump lashed out at the Russian leader on Tuesday, signaling an change in his posture toward the conflict.
