President to address Florida gathering of investors and tech moguls after he and billionaire ally Elon Musk took part in Fox News sitdown with Sean Hannity to defend DOGE cost-cutting actions and firings
Donald Trump will attend a conference hosted by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in Miami on Wednesday, mingling with global financiers and tech executives in the hope of securing further U.S. investment.
The president and “first buddy” Elon Musk took part in a primetime sitdown with Fox News on Tuesday in which host Sean Hannity mused it was like “interviewing two brothers”.
The duo insisted the media was “trying to drive us apart” and offered a show of unity as they defended the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s cost-cutting actions and mass firings.
Earlier, Trump had sparked fresh concern over the Ukraine war during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago by declaring the country “should never have started” the conflict, even though its territory was invaded by Russian troops acting on Vladimir Putin’s orders, not vice versa.
The president further dismissed Ukrainian anger over being denied a place at talks between U.S. and Russian negotiators in Riyadh.
“I hear they’re upset about not having a seat. Well, they’ve had a seat for three years,” Trump said, also deriding his counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky’s poll ratings and suggesting he “may” meet Putin before the end of February.
