Donald Trump Jr. is not ruling out the possibility of a political future, but asserts that he has no interest in making a run "anytime soon."
At the Qatar Economic Forum, he fielded a question about the possibility of running for office after his father steps down.
During his response he did not close the door on the prospect, saying, "I don't know. Maybe one day … that calling is there."

But he asserted in a post on X that he is not at all interested in pursuing office in 2028.
"And FWIW, I've always said, while I'll never 100% rule it out down the line, I have ZERO interest in running for office in 28 or anytime soon," he said in a portion of that post.

Trump Says US Won't Agree to Any Uranium Enrichment by Iran
(Bloomberg) -- The US won't allow any uranium enrichment as part of a potential nuclear deal with Iran, President Donald Trump said. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access Trump made the comment in a social media post Monday evening, without elaborating. The US president has regularly signaled that he thinks a deal may be near, and that Iran could face military action if the talks collapse. His post came after an Axios report said US negotiators gave Iran a proposal that would allow limited, low-level enrichment. Iran hasn't commented on the report. Trump has long pledged that Iran won't be allowed a nuclear weapon. He also said last week he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military strike on Iran — which could lead to the wider war in the Middle East and push up oil prices — would be 'inappropriate' right now because 'we're very close to a solution.' Netanyahu has said Iran — Israel's arch-enemy — shouldn't be allowed to enrich uranium at all, even to the low levels Tehran says its needs for nuclear power plants and other non-military uses. The Islamic Republic has consistently said it won't accept an agreement with the US that doesn't allow it to enrich uranium to a low level. At the moment, it's processing uranium to a much higher point, almost to the level required for atomic weapons. In addition to the issue of enrichment, Iran says it wants clear assurances of how sanctions would be eased as part of any deal with the US. Washington has not yet been willing to specify how sanctions would be lifted, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said on Monday. --With assistance from Arsalan Shahla.

Trump's fresh White House portrait sparks interest amid controversy over National Portrait Gallery leadership
Nearly six months into his second term, President Donald Trump has a new portrait posted to the White House website. White House officials posted an eight-second video to social media on Monday, showing the new portrait being hung on the wall at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House Campus. In his previous presidential portrait, which was unveiled just days before taking the oath of office for his second term, Trump could be seen wearing a blue suit coat, white button-up shirt and blue tie. The president showed no expression in the previous portrait, compared to an official portrait taken of him in 2017, in which he was smiling. Liz Peek: Donald Trump Is Our President And Democrats Have No Idea What To Do In the portrait unveiled on Monday, Trump is wearing a blue suit coat, white button-up shirt and a red tie. In both images, he has an American Flag pinned to his coat. Read On The Fox News App The president also shows little expression in the new portrait. White House officials told Fox News Digital the photo was taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok. Trump Portrait He Claimed Was 'Purposefully Distorted' To Be Taken Down From Colorado Capitol As of Monday evening, the photo is hanging in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and it will eventually start rolling out to other offices and federal buildings. Trump's new portrait was unveiled just days after he announced that he was firing Kim Sajet, the director of the National Portrait Gallery, for being a "strong supporter" of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). He announced Sajet's termination in a post on Truth Social on Friday afternoon. Donald Trump Fires National Portrait Gallery Director For Being 'Strong Supporter' Of Dei "Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am hereby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery," the president wrote. "She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position. Her replacement will be named shortly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" A White House official told Fox News Digital that Sajet had donated $3,982 to Democrats, including the presidential campaigns of former President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Sajet also reportedly donated to other Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris. The White House also pointed to the gallery's photo of Trump, which was curated by Sajet. The caption of the photo reads, "Impeached twice, on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials. After losing to Joe Biden in 2020, Trump mounted a historic comeback in the 2024 election. He is the only president aside from Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) to have won a nonconsecutive second term."Original article source: Trump's fresh White House portrait sparks interest amid controversy over National Portrait Gallery leadership

Chuck Todd Reveals Trump Name-Drop Led To Alarming Incident Outside D.C. Home
Former 'Meet the Press' host Chuck Todd on Friday opened up about the concerning consequences of President Donald Trump attacking him in his first term when asked about the security risks that come as a result. 'There was direct correlation, right? He'd call your name out, you'd get weird phone calls, you'd get weird death threats, I got my tires slashed in front of my house,' Todd told Times Radio's Maddie Hale. Todd, who left NBC News after nearly two decades back in January, told Hale that he had 'conversations' with Trump regarding his name-checks of people that are not in 'the public square.' 'He goes, 'Oh, isn't it good — he views it as, 'Oh, it's good publicity,'' Todd recalled. He later continued, 'I don't think he's doing it to create a security problem for these people but what he wants to do is deflect blame, 'Just remember, you blame them you don't blame me.' That's always what he's looking for. But the reality is, Maddie, it creates a security problem.' As Trump continues to embark on a revenge tour in his second term — going after his political foes and their associates — judges, their families, elected officials and more of his perceived enemies have faced increased threats leading them to boost their security. Moments earlier, Hale asked Todd about the president's response to three judges on a federal trade court who struck down his sweeping tariffs in a ruling last week (a federal appeals court would go on to reinstate them in a decision the next day). Trump — in an unhinged rant on his Truth Social platform — took aim at the trade court judges (one of whom he appointed) before making a dig at 'sleazebag' Leonard Leo, a former ally who handpicked most of his appeals court and Supreme Court nominees. Todd, later in the interview, claimed that more public officials in Washington have their own security detail now more than any point of his decades covering the nation's capital. 'And it's simply because of the name-checking [and] threats that takes place now by him,' he stressed.
