- President Trump told "The Axios Show" in a sweeping 45-minute Thursday interview that his deal to end the war in Iran averted a global depression.
- Trump said Cuba could get the same treatment as Venezuela and described a leading AI lab as having looked like a national security threat "in recent days."
Why it matters: The single concrete stakes claim is Trump's assertion that his Iran deal prevented a global depression — a sweeping justification for the war's conclusion that, if credible, reframes the conflict's economic stakes, while his Cuba/Venezuela and AI-lab national-security remarks telegraph two more executive-branch postures without yet detailing mechanisms.
