Our goal at the border is to deliver decisions on asylum as quickly as possible.

Quicker decisions mean that a migrant is less likely to pay a criminal smuggler thousands of dollars to take them on the dangerous journey here.

One critical step we've taken that has made a huge difference is that we've chosen to work with Mexico as an equal partner – as friends and neighbors – instead of attacking Mexico.

And the facts are clear.

Due to the agreements that I've reached with President López Obrador, the number of migrants coming to our shared border unlawfully in recent months has dropped dramatically.

I would have preferred to address our issues at the border through bipartisan legislation because that’s the only way to actually fix our broken system –

But Republicans in Congress have left me no choice.

So today, I’m announcing actions that bar migrants who cross our southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum – unless they seek it after entering through established lawful processes.

We are working for a ceasefire and hostage deal that would allow the United States and our partners to begin the work to rebuild homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza to help repair communities destroyed in the chaos of war.

This deal must get done.

Today I welcomed Prime Minister De Croo of Belgium to the White House to discuss our shared commitment to Ukraine's defense in the face of Russia’s war, and recognize Belgium’s contributions to transatlantic security.

I look forward to a future of closer cooperation.

This is a decisive moment:

Israel has made their proposal. Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove they mean it.

Hamas needs to take the deal.

Our proposal to end the war in Gaza begins with a complete ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas in Gaza, the release of hostages and hostage remains, the ability for Palestinians to return to Gaza, and a surge of humanitarian assistance.

Israel has now offered a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire – and the release of all the hostages.

Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas.

Today, I want to lay out its terms for the world.

Costs are still too high, but today’s report shows progress – with core inflation at its lowest since March 2021, and overall inflation down 60%.

I have a plan to lower housing and health care costs and will continue to call on corporations making record profits to lower prices.

Later today, I’ll deliver remarks on the Middle East.

You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get what you are owed.

My Administration is requiring airlines to provide automatic refunds when flights are canceled or significantly changed.

Americans deserve a better deal.

As the summer travel season begins, my Administration is working to get Americans a better deal by mandating that airlines show upfront the price of checked bags, flight changes, or cancellations.

All told, it's going to save families half a billion a year.

Gas prices are down $1.40 from their peak after Russia’s war, but they’re still too high.

My Administration is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve ahead of July 4th, which will lower prices at the pump when folks need it the most.

Jill and I are praying for those who lost their lives as a result of devastating tornadoes that tore through Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

We are immensely grateful to our first responders and emergency personnel who have been working around the clock to save lives. FEMA has been on the ground conducting damage assessments and we stand ready to provide support as needed.

With more severe weather expected, we urge residents to remain vigilant and heed the warnings of officials.

Today, we join our grief with gratitude.

Gratitude to our fallen heroes, to their families, and to the brave souls who continue to uphold the flame of liberty around the world.

It is because of them, all of them, that we stand here today.

We will never forget that.

Since America's founding, our service members have laid down their lives for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States.

Today, as generations of heroes lie in eternal peace, we live by the light of liberty they kept burning.

May God bless them, always.

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.

Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.

He changed the world.

Now, let's act in his memory.
