'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.'

'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.'

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.'

Video: Trump order against ‘Big Pharma' aims to reduce drug prices
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to force 'Big Pharma' to reduce the cost of drugs and pharmaceuticals in the United States by using the 'most favored nations drug pricing.' 'The principle is simple – whatever the lowest price paid for a drug in other developed countries, that is the price that Americans will pay,' Trump announced on Monday. 'Some prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced almost immediately by 50 to 80 to 90%. Big Pharma will either abide by this principle voluntarily, or we'll use the power of the federal government to ensure that we are paying the same price as other countries.' Trump's new executive order implements what he calls "most favored nations drug pricing." The principle is simple but revolutionary: Whatever the lowest price paid for a drug in other developed countries, that's what Americans will pay. — Karl Mehta (@karlmehta) May 13, 2025 'Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the healthcare of foreign countries, which is what we were doing,' Trump added. 'We're subsidizing others' healthcare in countries where they paid a small fraction of what — for the same drug that we pay many, many times more for, and will no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma.' .@POTUS: "Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the healthcare of foreign countries… and we'll no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma." — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 12, 2025 According to The Post Millennial, the 47th president explained on Monday that Americans currently pay 70% more for prescription drugs than they did in 2000 and that the United States 'has the highest drug prices anywhere in the world by sometimes a factor of five, six, seven, eight times.' Trump added, 'Even though the United States is home to only four percent of the world's population, pharmaceutical companies make more than two-thirds of their profits in America.' READ MORE: Trump's newest executive order reverses Obama-era rule The president told reporters on Monday that prescription drug prices across the world will 'equalize' following his 'most-favored nation' executive order, according to The Post Millennial. 'We are going to pay the lowest price there is in the world,' Trump said. 'Whoever is paying the lowest price -that's the price that we're going to get.' .@POTUS on Most Favored Nation prescription drug pricing: "We are going to pay the lowest price there is in the world. Whoever is paying the lowest price, that is the price we're going to get — so we're no longer paying ten times more than another country." — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 12, 2025 In a fact sheet accompanying the president's executive order on Monday, the White House explained that the administration is directing the U.S. Commerce Department and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to 'ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States.' According to the White House, the Trump administration will present 'price targets' to the manufacturers of pharmaceutical drugs to ensure that the United States 'gets the best deal.' Additionally, the executive order directs Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to develop a way for Americans to bypass 'middlemen' and purchase drugs directly from manufacturers who sell pharmaceuticals at 'Most-Favored-Nation' pricing. If pharmaceutical companies do not provide American patients with 'Most-Favored-Nation' pricing, Kennedy will be directed to '(1) propose rules that impose most-favored-nation pricing; and (2) take other aggressive measures to significantly reduce the cost of prescription drugs to the American consumer and end anticompetitive practices.'

Video/Pics: Illegal immigrant chased, tackled by Border Patrol agents
A new video shows U.S. Border Patrol agents chasing an illegal immigrant, tackling him, and arresting him in Spokane, Washington, last Tuesday. According to The Post Millennial, Martin R. Diaz-Amezcua, a 35-year-old Mexican national, was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents outside his residence near Hays Park in Spokane, Washington, on April 29. The outlet noted that the 35-year-old illegal immigrant's April arrest came after federal law enforcement officials previously attempted to arrest him in February. Records obtained by The Post Millennial indicated that Diaz-Amezcua was temporarily booked into the Kootenai County Jail on a U.S. Marshal hold. A video compilation of multiple surveillance cameras that was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt, shows Diaz-Amezcua exiting a vehicle in front of his home before running across the yard as Border Patrol agents chased him. The video shows the 35-year-old illegal immigrant being chased, tackled to the ground, and arrested by Border Patrol agents. READ MORE: Border Patrol seizes monkey, 73 pounds of cocaine at southern border In the video, a Border Patrol agent can be heard saying, 'I caught you, motherf-cker,' as the illegal immigrant attempted to escape through a fence into the backyard of the house. The video then shows Diaz-Amezcua's roommate, Dylan Young, ordering the Border Patrol agents to leave the property. 'You have no right to come onto my property,' Young said. 'This is his house. YOU get the f-ck back.' In response to Young's comments, the federal agent said, 'Get back. Do not interfere with this right now.' After repeatedly telling the Border Patrol agents to 'get off' the illegal immigrant, who can be seen pinned to the ground in the video, Young said, 'He's a good guy.' In response, one of the agents said, 'No, he's not.' New: An illegal alien with a violent criminal history has been arrested in Spokane, Wash. Martin Diaz-Azmecua, 35, of Mexico, was chased, tackled, and apprehended by Border Patrol agents on April 29. This after months of trying to track him down. — Katie Daviscourt 📸 (@KatieDaviscourt) May 5, 2025 According to The Post Millennial, federal officials previously tried to arrest Diaz-Amezcua in February; however, the illegal immigrant reportedly was not at home when officials visited the residence. The Post Millennial reported that Diaz-Amezcua's arrest has led to backlash on social media after his wife, Kendall Diaz, claimed that the 35-year-old had been illegally brought into the United States by his parents when he was just a toddler. While Kendall Diaz, who is a U.S. citizen, claimed that her husband has been working towards legal status for nearly a decade, The Post Millennial reported that court records indicate Diaz-Amezcua was previously ordered to be removed from the country due to multiple criminal convictions. Pictures shared on social media show Diaz-Amezcua with his wife, as well as Diaz-Amezcua and a Border Patrol agent during last week's arrest. Outrage has since ensued over Diaz-Amezcua's arrest, with his wife reporting that he was been in the country since he was a toddler. He reportedly has been trying to gain legal status for a decade but has been unable to do so due to his criminal record, according to his wife. — Katie Daviscourt 📸 (@KatieDaviscourt) May 5, 2025
