Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., announced the plan at Trump Tower in
New York City
on the 10th anniversary of their father announcing his first presidential campaign.
"I'm incredibly excited to step into this new digital space, hard-working Americans deserve a wireless service that's affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality they can count on," Eric, one of the executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, said in the press release.
"We're especially proud to offer free long-distance calling to our military members and their families — because those serving overseas should always be able to stay connected to the people they love back home," he added.
The phone is being sold for $499, while the plan costs $47.45

Trump Mobile is set to offer 5G service through all three of the nation's major cellular carriers. For $47.45 per month — representative of Trump's tenure as the 45th and 47th president. The plan was dubbed The 47 Plan.
Subscribers will receive unlimited talk, text and data, complete device protection and 24/7 roadside assistance through Drive America, according to the press release.
They'll also have access to telehealth services, including virtual medical care, mental health support and easy ordering and delivery for prescription medications, the release states, as well as free international calling to more than 100 countries.
Its flagship feature, however, is free international calling to veterans or active duty military members stationed abroad. It comes with no contracts and no credit check.
Trump Mobile is also releasing a brand-new smartphone, called the T1 Phone, this August. It's described as a "sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance." It closely mirrors the look of an iPhone and features a large T on the back, with an American flag etched underneath it. The default background screen appears to say "Make America Great Again."
A disclaimer at the bottom of the press release admits that the Trump Organization seemingly has nothing to do with the sales of the phone despite being the company to organize its release.
"Trump Mobile, its products and services are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals," the release states.
T1 Mobile LLC, the company behind Trump Mobile, is also allegedly using the Trump name temporarily under a limited license agreement, "which may be terminated or revoked according to its terms." It wasn't clear whether a trademark had even been filed for Trump Mobile or any of its products and services.
Nevertheless, the Trumps expressed excitement over the sale, with Donald Jr. stating, according to the press release, "Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we're building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service. Our company is based right here in the United States because we know it's what our customers want and deserve."

Trump to leave G7 early after warning of Iran attack
US President Donald Trump was leaving a Group of Seven summit early on Monday as he hinted of greater involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict after issuing an ominous warning for the capital Tehran to evacuate. After a day of speaking with G7 leaders at a Canada summit about the need for a negotiated deal, Mr Trump took to social media to back Israel and issue a warning to Tehran, a city of nearly 10 million people. "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Shortly afterward, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Mr Trump would return to Washington due to the crisis, a day earlier than planned. Mr Trump will miss a day of meetings in the Rockies resort of Kananaskis that was also expected to include meetings with the leaders of Ukraine and Mexico. The US president has repeatedly declined to say if the United States would participate in Israeli military action, although he says it was not involved in initial strikes. He told reporters before his decision was announced to leave early: "As soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something. But I have to leave here." Mr Trump, who has praised Israel's strikes despite his stated preference for diplomacy, said Iran would be "foolish" not to agree to a negotiated settlement. "It's painful for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it's too late," Mr Trump told reporters as he met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Israel has struck major nuclear and military sites and killed leading commanders and nuclear scientists in Iran, which has responded with its own volley of drones and missiles on Israel. Onus on Iran Canada and European leaders had looked to draft a statement on the crisis, but diplomats said that Mr Trump has not committed the United States to joining it. Leaders of the club of industrialized democracies - Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States - have mostly backed Israel but concern has mounted as the violence intensifies. French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking to reporters, pleaded with Israel to spare civilians in Iran. Any statement would be expected to put the onus on Iran and stop short of calling for an immediate ceasefire. "We'll highlight the legitimate right of the state of Israel to defend itself and we will also discuss potential additional measures to reach a diplomatic solution," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that G7 leaders share concern about Iran's nuclear program but also: "I do think there's a consensus for de-escalation." Unusually, Japan - which has historic relations with Iran and limited domestic pressure related to the Middle East - has broken with its Western allies to condemn Israel's attack, calling it "completely unacceptable and deeply regrettable." Iran, since Mr Trump pulled out of an earlier nuclear deal in 2018, has ramped up uranium enrichment but not yet at levels to create an atomic bomb. Israel is widely known to have nuclear weapons but does not acknowledge them publicly. Easing tensions with Trump The summit at a wooded lodge under snow-capped mountains comes after months of tumult on the global stage since Mr Trump's return. Seeking to shatter a decades-old US-led global economic order, Mr Trump has vowed sweeping tariffs on friends and foes alike although he has postponed implementation until 9 July. However, Mr Trump voiced optimism about a resolution with Canada and signed documents with Mr Starmer to confirm an agreement with Britain. The Republican president has previously mocked host Canada, stating that the vast but less populated neighbor should become the 51st US state. But he has appeared to show more respect to Canada since Mr Carney, a staid former central banker, took over from Justin Trudeau in March. Mr Trump was "very respectful" and spoke of "how much he likes Canada," said the country's ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman. The US leader had taken office seeking diplomacy both on Iran and Ukraine, which Russia invaded in 2022. Mr Trump has since voiced frustration that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not accepted a US proposal for a ceasefire. He has previously mused about re-admitting Russia to the G8, from which it was expelled in 2014 after invading and annexing Ukraine's region of Crimea, triggering a war which accelerated in 2022 with a full-scale Russian invasion. Mr Trump said that his Russian counterpart was "very insulted" by the G8 expulsion and that if Russia was still a member, "you wouldn't have a war right now."

Donegal dad who was based in Boston deported back to Ireland after 15 years in US
A DONEGAL MAN who had lived in Boston for more than 15 years was deported to Ireland over the weekend, less than a month after he was detained by US immigration officials for violating his visa waiver. The 40-year-old man was deported from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts to Dublin on Friday evening. He is the father of two American-born children, aged nine and ten, and the former owner of a small construction company near Boston. As previously covered by The Journal , the man, who does not wish to be identified, had overstayed his travel visa, but had joined the waiting list for green card applications three years ago . He was arrested last month, and had spent some time in a detention centre run by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a driving-related conviction. The man is now attempting to find a way to 'continue to be a loving father' to his children in the US, according to Boston-based lawyer John Foley. 'His personal nightmare is over,' Foley said. He added that his client 'just wants to move on with his life'. He is gutted knowing the relationship with his children will not be what he wants it to be. Foley said he had pushed for his client's release in the US under 24/7 monitoring with an ankle bracelet. Advertisement 'They just said no,' Foley explained, adding that officials showed no hesitation in denying the request. Foley previously told The Journal that there was 'no flexibility' from US officials in their decision to detain the man, noting that ICE officers had been more willing to compromise in previous years before the Trump administration. 'My biggest frustration is the inability to speak with anyone of substance inside ICE,' Foley said. 'You send emails that are ignored, leave voicemail messages that are never returned and repeatedly go to someone's office all to be ignored. 'This administration is different – this administration is dangerous,' Foley said. The lawyer added that there is a new mentality among law enforcement and immigration officers under 'Trump 2.0'. 'They're intent on instilling fear, and it's working – they're proud of it. I've never seen anything like this before; we're in a whole new era now,' Foley said. Deportation figures under the Trump administration have not yet been made public by ICE, but NBC News has reported that ICE deported 11,000 migrants in February , just over 12,300 in the first four weeks of March , and approximately 17,200 in April . According to Foley, fear of deportation is growing among Irish immigrants and other diasporas in the US. 'It's not just the Irish, it's everybody – I'm getting calls from people I represented 20 years ago who really have nothing to worry about, but they have prior criminal convictions, so they're stressed,' Foley said. He described Trump's immigration and deportation policies as 'un-American.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
