Washington, DC...Thank you very much. Please. Today, Melania and I are honored to welcome President Duda and Mrs. Kornhauser-Duda of Poland back to the White House. They’ve become friends. We last hosted them in Washington, in September, and it’s wonderful to see you both again. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Great honor. Since our last meeting, the unbreakable bonds between the United States and Poland have grown even closer. This year, as our nations mark 100 years of diplomatic relations, the U.S.-Polish alliance is stronger, by far, than ever before.
Washington, DC...Thank you very much. And I think what we do — this is a meeting on opioid and the tremendous effect that’s taken place over the last little period of time. And I’m very proud of it and the people working so hard on it. But I thought what I’d do is ask Secretary Wilkie to give a statement as to what just happened with respect to Choice and the VA, because I think it’s a very, very big deal.

On these shores, on these bluffs, on this day 75 years ago, 10,000 men shed their blood, and thousands sacrificed their lives, for their brothers, for their countries, and for the survival of liberty.
Washington, DC...Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer, June 6, 1944. My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer: Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Posted by: thepinetree on 06/05/2019 03:53 PM
Shannon, Ireland...PRIME MINISTER VARADKAR: So, I just want to welcome all the members of the press who traveled here. And it’s a great pleasure to be able to welcome President Trump to the Uni — to the United States — to Ireland. And certainly not the first time he’s been here, or in County Clare. This is the first he’s been here as President of the United States. Only, I think, the sixth time an American President in office.
