On June 10, 2026, Trump signed the Secure America Act, a $70 billion bill funding the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and Border Patrol through the end of his term. During the signing ceremony, he praised Republican congressional leaders and criticized Democratic opponents, accusing them of supporting open borders and other policies he described as harmful. He also claimed that crime in Washington, D.C., had fallen to its lowest level in 58 years and that the city had become one of the safest in the country, attributing the improvement to his administration's actions. On June 11, Trump spoke from the Oval Office and at a White House event, stating that a deal with Iran to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon could be signed within days. He said the U.S. had been conducting nighttime strikes on Iranian ships, destroying dozens over the previous month, and that oil prices had remained stable as a result. Trump also discussed fishing policy, claiming his executive orders had expanded access to fishing grounds and boosted the economy, and asserted that $18 trillion had been invested in the U.S. during his term.
