Trump’s Iran-Hamas blast sets stage for Saudi-Israeli DC showdown? Hegseth minces no words on armada

President Trump leads a wide‑ranging Cabinet meeting on January 29, 2026, highlighting what he calls a record‑setting first year of his second term, with major gains in economic growth, stock markets, investment, energy production, and crime reduction. He touts reopening Venezuela’s airspace to U.S. flights, massive new tariffs‑driven factory and steel investment, sharp drops in inflation, gasoline, and prescription drug prices, and expanding home ownership and “Trump accounts,” while his team briefs on Middle East peace efforts, the Russia‑Ukraine talks, border security, energy dominance, healthcare reforms, and military readiness.
