In today’s edition of The White House Briefing Room with Jon Decker, major global and domestic developments take center stage.

The U.S. ramps up its military presence in the Middle East, with over 50,000 troops now deployed as the Iran war intensifies. President Trump weighs next steps, including securing Iran’s uranium stockpile and reopening the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical oil routes.

Meanwhile, oil prices surge as markets react to prolonged instability, raising concerns about global supply disruptions and economic fallout.

Back home, the Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues to strain U.S. airports, with TSA staffing shortages leading to record wait times. ICE agents remain on the front lines as Congress remains locked in a funding standoff.

Plus, a major legal battle heads to the Supreme Court this week, as justices prepare to hear arguments on birthright citizenship—one of the most consequential immigration cases in years.
