Trump phones into C-SPAN show and joins briefing room

President Donald Trump called into C-SPAN's new programme "Washington Journal Primetime" without prior notice, speaking for eight minutes. He fielded questions on immigration, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Iran war, and praised host Mimi Geerges for launching the show. Earlier the same day, Trump appeared unannounced in the White House briefing room alongside UFC chief executive Dana White, his first briefing room appearance in 198 days, according to a White House pool report. During the briefing he suggested he could serve as press secretary, a role he had offered to White.
