Trump's kids launch new 'Trump Mobile' service including $499 gold phone - here's how you can get access
President Donald Trump 's children Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. announced Monday their plans to launch a new 'Trump Mobile' service that offers customers a $499 'gold' phone.
The two Trump's sons appeared at Trump Tower on Monday at a press conference to announce their new service.
'We've partnered with some of the greatest people in the industry to make sure that real Americans can get true value from the mobile carriers,' Trump Jr. said, referring to the current 'lackluster performance' from existing carriers.
Trump Jr. said that the organization was moving more into technology for 'people who have been underserved.'
The phones will be built in America, a Trump mobile executive confirmed, and call centers would also be based in America.
Customers who sign up for the 47 plan will pay $47.45 a month for unlimited talk, texting, and data with 5G service through all three major cellular carriers.
Individuals who sign up for the service can bring an existing phone or purchase a new phone.
The T1 gold phone will cost $499, according to the website, and feature an American flag etched on the case.
The new T1 Gold phone will be available September 2025
The phone will use the Android 15 operating system with a 50 MP camera, a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro lens in the back. The front facing 'selfie' camera will be 16MP.
The gold T1 phone will be available in September 2025, according to the website.
Trump Jr. said the service would also include telemedicine for a flat monthly fee, roadside assistance, and unlimited texting to over a hundred countries.
The Trump-branded service is effectively a licensing agreement as a disclaimer on the website announces that the services 'are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by The Trump Organization.'
'We're also spending a lot of time in the technology field,' Eric Trump said, referring to the family's lucrative cryptocurrency efforts. 'There is kind of a key to that and that is America.'
'It's about time we bring products back to our great country,' he said.

Donald Trump repeats call for Russia to be readmitted at G7 summit in Canada
Donald Trump has displayed his disdain for the collective western values supposedly championed by the G7 group of industrialised countries by again demanding that the Russia be readmitted to the group. He also said the war in Ukraine would not have happened if Moscow had been kept in the club. Trump made his remarks in front of media alongside, Canada's prime minister, Mark Carney, who is hosting the G7, at the start of the summit's first round of talks. Russia was thrown out of the G8 after it invaded Crimea in 2014, and Trump's defence of Vladimir Putin came a day before the US president is scheduled to meet his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on the fringes of the summit. It will be the first meeting between the two men since Pope's Francis's funeral in April. Zelenskyy is pressing for a reluctant Trump to respond to Putin's refusal to agree a 30-day ceasefire by applying sanctions on Russia that the US Senate has already approved. Trump, however, has shown little sign of losing patience, and on Monday he repeated his opinion that expelling Russia from the G8 was a 'big mistake'. 'You wouldn't have that war,' he said. 'You know you have your enemy at the table, I don't even consider, he wasn't really an enemy at that time.' He blamed the former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama for Putin's expulsion. 'Obama didn't want him, and the head of your country didn't want him,' Trump said, naming Trudeau several times and calling it a mistake. The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, signalled that the EU would be asking the US and other G7 member states to tighten sanctions on Russia by lowering the cap at which Russian oil can be bought from $60 a barrel to $45. The aim is to reduce Russian revenues from oil sales. The G7 originally set up the complex price cap, so the EU needs the support of all G7 states to lower it. Von der Leyen told reporters: 'To achieve peace through strength we must put more pressure on Russia to secure a real ceasefire, to bring Russia to the negotiating table, and to end this war. Sanctions are critical to that end. As a result of the G7 and EU sanctions combined, for example Russian oil and gas revenues have fallen by almost 80% since the beginning of the war.' The EU is preparing an 18th round of sanctions heavily focussed on cutting off Russia's oil revenues. Ahead of his meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy said: 'Russia spits in the face of everything the international community is trying to do to stop this war.' He said the latest Russian attacks on energy infrastructure came right after Putin had spoken to Trump offering to act as a mediator in the Iran-Israel crisis. 'This war could have ended long ago if the world had reacted to Russia in a principled way instead of falling for manipulation and lies, he said. He said that unlike Russia, Ukraine had complied with US requests not to target its opponent's energy facilities. Trump also gave no obvious ground on tariffs in his bilateral meeting with Carney. 'I'm a tariff person,' he said. 'It's simple, it's easy, it's precise and it just goes very quickly. 'I think Mark has a more complex idea, but also very good.' Trump has imposed levies on steel, aluminium, cars and other Canadian products that don't comply with the continental free trade agreement's rules of origin.

EXCLUSIVE Moment Trump is savagely cut off by Canada's Mark Carney showcases tense power struggle amid 51st state drama
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney savagely ended President Donald Trump 's back-and-forth with reporters Monday, as the two leaders kicked off the start of the G7 Summit with a bilateral meeting. This year's Group of Seven gathering is being held in the Kananaskis region of the Canadian province of Canada, giving the newly-elected Carney hosting duties. Trump almost immediately was critical of the G7's decision to drop Russia from what had been the G8 in 2014 and voiced criticism of Carney's predecessor and fellow liberal, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 'If you don't mind, I'm just going to exercise my role, if you will, as G7 chair, since we have a few more minutes with the president and his team, and then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues,' Carney said, ushering reporters out of the meeting room in less than eight minutes. Body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail that Trump is coming in 'hot' from his military parade and is in 'fully pumped-up, grandiose global alpha leader here.' Carney, on the other hand, is showing a 'range of expression supressions and fleeting emotions while Trump is in full flow.' The Canadian prime minister starts by wishing the president - and the U.S. Army - a belated happy birthday, before remarking that Monday is also the 50th birthday of the G7. 'And the G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership and so - and your personal leadership, the leadership of the United States,' Carney added. Trump said the two men had a 'very good relationship' and that they would be talking about trade. The U.S. president then segued into criticism of the G7, which includes the U.S. and Canada, as well as France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan and Germany. 'The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in. And I would say that that was a mistake. Because I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in,' Trump said. 'And you wouldn't have a war right now if Trump were president four years ago, but it didn't work out that way.' James noticed that Trump's 'torso is puffed' with his arms at his sides in a 'power-pose.' 'He appears to be aligned with the power theme mentally too,' she continued. 'At one point he refers to himself in the third-person, telling the world that: "If Trump were president four years ago we wouldn't have had a war," as though "Trump" is some form of super-hero.' Starting in December 2024, after Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago as Trump pushed tariff threats, the now-president started remarking that Canada should become the U.S.'s '51st state.' 'With the thought of Trump's claims to have Canada as the 51st state of the U.S., Carney is in an unenviable non-verbal performance spot here,' James noted. 'His body language tends to be more about subtle hints overlaid with a layer of bemused charm.' As Trump continued to talk about Russia, Carney 'seems to keep a wide space between himself and the president, welcoming him from this distance with the politely impersonal stance of a maître d' welcoming a diner, even keeping his hands clasped behind his back in what looks like a desire to avoid touch,' James observed. Body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail that President Donald Trump's (left) 'torso is puffed' as he is in 'fully pumped-up, grandiose global alpha leader here,' during his bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (right) At the same time, Carney's face displayed his thinking. 'As he greets Trump his upper cheeks round in an unconvincing smile. His lips pucker and purse in a suggestion of suppressed disapproval,' James noticed. 'There is an overkill chuckling to suggest some inner anxiety and then when he looks back at Trump one time there is a micro-jut of the lower jaw revealing lower teeth, which looks distinctly like a suppressed desire to do battle of some sort,' she said. 'When Trump brings Putin and Russia into his monologue there is a slewing of Carney's lips as he begins to bounce up and down onto his heels in a gesture of possible impatience,' James continued. Finally she observed: 'When Trump says Russian should be in the G7 Carney's lips make him look as though he's sucking a lemon.' When the Q&A kicked off, Trump was first asked what was holding up a trade deal with Canada. Trump answered that the two leaders have 'different concepts,' with the U.S. president favoring his tariffs and Carney with a 'different concept' that is 'something that some people like.' 'Carney's downturned smile firms up here and as he turns to the press he performs an "aside" in the shape of a wink to suggest he and Trump are just doing a bit of banter,' James said. Trump then addresses the current Israel-Iran conflict and then is asked a question about Russian President Vladimir Putin - with the U.S. president admitting the Russian leader currently shouldn't be involved in G7 talks over the war in Ukraine. He then goes back to bashing Obama and Trudeau, calling the former Canadian PM sarcastically the 'proud head of your country' to Carney. 'As Trump continues his narrative of Putin though, Carney's polite smile drops and he begins to use a much darker-looking stare,' James said. 'The criticism of Trudeau prompts a wary eye-dart and he begins to rock from foot to foot, holding his left arm out to signal a desire to end the conference,' she added. Trump continued to take questions, including one from the Daily Mail about sending ICE into Democratic cities. After that, Carney was done. 'His hand performs a shooing gesture at the press and in the end he steps forward with his hands up and out to "exercise my role, that's it" in a rather abrupt and unceremonious ending of the press conference,' James said.

EXCLUSIVE Experts reveal biggest challenge to Trump's Canada-funded $175B 'Golden Dome' defense dream
When President Donald Trump first rolled out his plan for a new 'Golden Dome' to 'protect our homeland' he described it as a space age shield against growing threats. 'Ronald Reagan wanted it many years ago, but they didn't have the technology,' Trump said at the time, invoking Reagan's 'Strategic Defense Initiative or ' Star Wars ' missile defense system. He even told Canada the tab would be $61 billion if they wanted in on the project. Now, as Trump shuttles through meetings with G7 partners including Canada, some defense experts are questioning the origins of the plan and whether it can provide the security Trump claims. 'Trump thinks its cool. That's what's driving it,' Justin Logan, Director of Defense and Foreign Policy Studies at the libertarian Cato Institute told the Daily Mail. 'To me, the whole thing was undercooked,' he said. The idea, at a time when global powers like China and Russia are developing hypersonic missiles while 'rogue' states refine their own missile programs, is to use a network of space satellites and ground-based sensors to identify and blow up incoming threats to the U.S. It's a concept with considerable appeal at a time when Iran is lobbing missiles at Israel in response to a bombing campaign targeting their nuclear facilities and military leaders. But key elements of the satellite role are already coming into question, following a report that SpaceX head Elon Musk's role is now in doubt. Amid Trump's epic feud with the world's richest man, planners are now looking at a 'new framework' which would scrap the need for Musk's network of orbiting satellites. Instead the plan would be to focus on 'existing ground systems for missile defense instead,' according to one report. Musk's company had been expected to play a vital role in launching space sensors and even armed satellites that could play a role in defense. 'The Trump Administration is committed to a rigorous review process for all bids and contracts, prioritizing the best deal for America and leveraging the most advanced and innovative technology. Decisions will be made at the appropriate time, based on thorough evaluation, and will not be previewed in the press,' White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields told the Daily Mail amid the uncertainty. There is already $25 billion for Golden Dome in the House tax reconciliation bill, but if Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill fails in the Senate, the program couldn't get off the ground. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is already demanding more spending cuts, as Trump seeks to win his vote. It could be a heavy lift to really get the Canadians on board for paying for it. A new poll shows more than 60 percent of Canadians are against the idea. Canada's ambassador to the UN compared Trump's call for Canadian funding to a 'protection racket.' Trump had posted: 'I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!' Trump posted. 'In another context, this would (be) called a 'protection racket,' Rae said. Comparison to Isreal's 'Iron Dome' are proving inexact. Wrote Paul Meyer, an professor of international studies at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia: 'The President seems to have failed to grasp that Israel's 'Iron Dome' system (which inspired his vision) has succeeded as a result of the relatively small size of its territory that has to be defended and the relatively slow re-entry speed of the short and medium range ballistic missiles it has countered. 'These advantages would not pertain to the territory of the US (let alone North America) against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) with re-entry speeds of 7 kilometres a second.' Joe Cirincione of the Center for International Policy called national missile defense 'the longest-running scam in the history of the Department of Defense.' And even that system is experiencing occasional 'leakage,' with comparatively slow and easier-to-track Iranian missiles breaking through defenses to cause civilian deaths. 'The idea that you're going to model something on Iron Dome that's going to protect the us from Russia and China is just not a thing,' said Logan. 'In this case, it was like, Israel has Iron Dome. It's kind of cool. We should do the Golden Dome. And then a lot of people rush to fill the gaps without specifying what 'Golden Dome' was,' he said. There are also questions about how it might alter Cold War calculations on deterrence. If foreign adversaries conclude the Americans think they are protected, it could put the US in a more aggressive posture – which could in turn motivate foreign adversaries to strike first before it is too late. In what could be a telling sign, a senior administration official sketching out priorities for the G7 summit that gets underway Monday in Kananaskis mentioned trade, minerals, migration, drugs, wildfires, international security, AI, and energy.'
