'We gather today to honor the incredible service members who rest in glory in this cemetery and burial grounds around the world, and in a thousand lonely places known only to God,' Trump stated. 'In every hour of peril and every moment of crisis, American warriors have left behind the blessings of home and family to answer their nation's call. They've offered all that they had within them and given their last breaths to each and every one of us, that we might live safe and breathe free.' In his speech, Trump honored the 'immortal deeds' of America's fallen service members and expressed the nation's gratitude for the 'ultimate gift' that has been 'selflessly given' by service members who died for their country. 'They gave everything, and we owe them everything,' Trump said.

Trump emphasized that this year's Memorial Day celebration was 'especially significant' as the country celebrates '250 years since the first American Patriots fell on the field of battle two and a half centuries ago.' 'At Lexington Green, Concord Bridge, Bunker Hill, brave minutemen and humble farm boys became the first to give their lives for a nation that did not yet have a name,' Trump told the crowd at Arlington National Cemetery. 'Those young men could never have known what their sacrifice would mean to us, but we certainly know what we owe to them. Their valor gave us the freest, greatest, and most noble republic ever to exist on the face of the earth.' In conclusion to his speech, Trump said, 'May God bless our fallen heroes, may God bless our Gold Star families, and may God bless the United States of America.'

Videos: US brokered India-Pakistan ceasefire using trade, Trump says
During a Tuesday speech in Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump highlighted the role his administration played in brokering a 'historic ceasefire' between India and Pakistan following an escalation in tension and conflict between the two countries last week. 'Just days ago, my administration successfully brokered a historic ceasefire to stop the escalating violence between India and Pakistan, and I used trade to a large extent to do it,' Trump said during his speech in Saudi Arabia. 'I said, 'Fellas, come on, let's make a deal. Let's do some trading. Let's not trade nuclear missiles. Let's trade the things that you make so beautifully,' Trump added. 'And they both have very powerful leaders, very strong leaders, good leaders, smart leaders. And it all stopped. Hopefully, it'll remain that way, but it all stopped.'

Vance for leading his administration's efforts to secure a ceasefire between the two countries. The 47th president said that India and Pakistan were 'actually getting along' following the ceasefire and joked that the leaders of India and Pakistan could 'go out and have a nice dinner together.' 'We've come a long way,' Trump said. 'Millions of people could have died from that conflict that started off small and was getting bigger and bigger and bigger by the day.'

'We helped a lot, and we helped also with trade. I said, 'Come on, we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys. Let's stop it. Let's stop it. If you stop it, we'll do a trade. If you don't stop it, we're not going to do any trade,'' Trump said. 'People have never really used trade the way I used it, that I can tell you.' 'And all of a sudden, they said, I think we're going to stop,' Trump added. 'They did it for a lot of reasons, but trade is a big one.' Trump on India-Pakistan: "We helped a lot. I said, 'C'mon. We're gonna do a lot of trade with you guys. Let's stop it. Let's stop it. If you stop it we're doing trade. If you don't stop it we're not gonna do any trade.' People have never really used trade the way I used it." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 12, 2025 Following Trump's comments to reporters on Monday, Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesperson for India's Foreign Ministry, said that while India's leaders were in contact with U.S. officials in the midst of escalating tension between India and Pakistan, trade was not part of the conversations, according to The Associated Press. 'The issue of trade did not come up in any of these discussions,' Jaiswal said.

Videos: Trump bans ‘dangerous' gain-of-function research funding
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to ban all federal funding for 'dangerous' gain-of-function research in 'countries of concern,' such as China and Iran, and for research in foreign countries that is 'likely to cause another pandemic.' In a fact sheet accompanying the president's executive order, the White House explained that Trump's order will 'drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.' According to Fox News, gain-of-function research, which was conducted at the Wuhan Lab in China prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, usually involves the modification of a virus to make it stronger or more infectious. 'For decades, policies overseeing gain-of-function research on pathogens, toxins, and potential pathogens have lacked adequate enforcement, transparency, and top-down oversight,' the White House wrote in the fact sheet. 'Researchers have not acknowledged the legitimate potential for societal harms that this kind of research poses.'

Trump's executive order will prohibit federal funding for 'dangerous' gain-of-function research in 'foreign nations deemed to have insufficient research oversight.' The White House emphasized that the order is intended to prevent 'lab accidents and other biosecurity incidents,' while still allowing 'productive biological research' designed to keep the United States prepared for 'biological threats' and at the forefront of health and biosecurity research. Trump described Monday's executive order regarding gain-of-function research as a 'big deal.' '[It] could have been that we wouldn't have had the problem we had if we had this done earlier,' Trump said.

Kennedy Jr. said that while gain-of-function research has traditionally been defended as a tool to create vaccines to 'counter a future pandemic,' 'in all of the history of gain-of-function research, we can't point to a single good thing that's come from it.'
