Press Gaggle: Donald Trump Speaks to Reporters After Air Force One Arrival - September 27, 2026

Thank you very much. It was an exciting day. The team was unbelievable. It was one of the greatest comebacks in the history of golf. I could say history of sports, but certainly in the history of golf. It was amazing. They played -- our team played -- unbelievable golf. They went in with a massive deficit and they came out with a tremendous victory, just a great comeback, one of the biggest ever.

So, you're going to see the Presidents Cup, you'll be seeing the -- hello.

And I want to congratulate Brandt Snedeker, who's, by the way, a great player, but he turned out to be an unbelievable captain and he's fantastic. And by the way, the other team, composed of various nations, was fantastic. They played two days, unbelievable, and got beaten in the last day at a record level.

Hey.

But it was just a tremendous thing to watch, a tremendous comeback. And again, Brandt Snedeker was incredible the way he maneuvered the team.

You'll be seeing the best players, the best golfers anywhere in the world. It's going to be great. I think for those of you that don't play, you'll get it. It's tremendous power, touch, everything else. But these are the greatest players in the world, so have a good time.

I think both captains did a great job. It was a great tournament and it was an honor to be involved, really an honor. It set a record for attendance, and I'll bet it got great television ratings because it was very exciting. But the American team was unbelievable. It was a big, big win. So I want to thank you.

Mr. President, really quickly --

I hope you had a good time. Some of you aren't into the world of golf, but you witnessed a very historic event today. It was actually in terms of sport and in terms of golf, and in terms of our country, it was a great win. So I just want to congratulate the team, the captain and everybody involved.

Mr. President, any comment on the arrest in the U.K.?

And by the way, the golf course and the people involved with the course did a great job. It's a storied course, Medinah, near Chicago, right outside. A storied course and it showed so well and they did such a great job. It was beautiful. And that's my world. The job they did of conditioning and everything else was amazing.

Mr. President, are you going to pause --

So I want to congratulate all of the people that are members of Medinah. They did a great job. Thank you very much everybody.

That was a great thing.

Mr. President, do you know any more about the attacks on the suspect migrants in U.K. and are they connected to Iran?

Are you going to pause [Inaudible] exports, the arrest in the U.K.?

We know all about it and you'll be hearing about it very soon. We caught him.

The arrest -- The arrest in the U.K. was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job, we had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort, and working with the British worked out great.

[Inaudible] announcement about tomorrow.

Were they migrants?

Well, we're meeting with Anthropic, as you know, on Tuesday. And we have a couple of unrelated things tonight, and tonight I'm having dinner with the head of Anthropic. So these are long days, but I seem to be able to have them, right? People said, really? I said I'm having dinner at 10 o'clock tonight and we travel all over the world and we have dinner, but that's all right.

It may have been Scotland Yard, I don't know, we worked with a lot of them, we had them under view for a long time, and we got them. Thank you.

So I'm having dinner with Dario from, as you know, very highly respected, from Anthropic. He's the head of Anthropic.

Were they migrants?

Could you give me congratulations from Richard? Did you hear from him at all?

No, no, no. I didn't hear from him. You okay? Great photographer. So that's a long day, right? We leave early in the morning. Now I have a dinner with Anthropic, but that's okay.

What are you having for dinner?

You know why it's good? Because our nation is winning. We had an incredible meeting with President Xi, lasted for a long time. I mean, actually two days to think about it. And we've made tremendous progress. This last three days has been very amazing. That was a great meeting with President Xi and a lot of good things are happening, including for our farmers.

Thank you all very much. One thing I have to say, with the exception of oil, which is lower than the Biden administration, and we no longer have to worry about nuclear weapons with Iran because they're wiped out. But with the exception of oil, everything is going down. We have it going down.

We inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country and it's going really down. 401(k)s are at their all-time high. The stock markets are at their all time high and our country is doing really well. Thank you very much, everybody.
