In an exchange with @jeffmason1, President Trump called his decision to ease sanctions on Russia to allow oil imports to the US “good for the country” and “good for the world.” The move has sparked bipartisan backlash, including from some prominent Republican lawmakers.

.@realDonaldTrump holds a MAGA Inc. dinner at Mar-a-Lago. I asked him about Republican criticism of his decision to waive sanctions on Russia and he said this: “It’s a very good decision. And it’s going to be a decision that’s good for the country and I think good for the world.”

President Trump on risk of Bubonic plague: "Well, we're looking at it very strongly. We just heard about it. They called it pneumonia...we'll help them."

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

I asked @realDonaldTrump what the US was doing about pneumonic plague. “We’ll help them, he said, referring to Russia, where the death of a laboratory worker has raised concerns about exposure and potential spread.

On @CNN tonight discussing @realDonaldTrump’s threats to ban news organizations at the White House, challenging the First Amendment.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

“Hands off,” the crowd chants, protesting @realDonaldTrump’s plans for the Kennedy Center.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

Peaceful protestors encircle the Kennedy Center to protest @realDonaldTrump after his threats to tear it down. The president and his allies want his name added to the front of the building that honors JFK.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

Among the many questions President Trump’s announcement raises: where will this ban apply specifically and how will he enforce it? This is the latest move by the president and his administration that challenges First Amendment protections of press freedom.

[Bloomberg TV @BloombergTV]

President Donald Trump said he would ban cable news outlets CNN and MS NOW as well as online publication Politico from the White House.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

I spoke to @realDonaldTrump by phone earlier today. He said he’s not in a rush to get a deal with Iran and fighting is likely to resume as soon as the ceasefire ends, which he said would be Wednesday night Washington time.

[Dan Williams @DanWilliams]

President Donald Trump said it’s “highly unlikely” he would extend the two-week ceasefire with Iran if a deal is not reached before it ends, and said the Strait of Hormuz would remain blocked until an agreement is finalized. https://t.co/Bzx7IM7keL via @JeffMason1

Sharing some personal/professional news: After 25 amazing years @Reuters, I’m making a move, joining Bloomberg as a Washington correspondent and senior member of the White House and politics team. I’ll be writing for @business and doing regular hits for @BloombergTV. I’m excited to join a great team when I start at the end of this month. It has been an absolute privilege to work for Reuters for so long and with such terrific colleagues and friends, in the U.S. and abroad, especially on our WH team. I’m beyond grateful. It’s very hard to leave. I’m not going far, though, and I remain committed to the values that both Reuters and Bloomberg uphold to produce fair, robust journalism. Stay tuned for more of that to come.

[Jeff Mason @jeffmason1]

The architect representing @realDonaldTrump told the @NCPCgov they are considering adding a one story addition to the West Wing (over the press room) to provide symmetry with the new East Wing and ballroom project.
