Pool ushered out of Oval Office at 12:28 and is now loading for motorcade to Capitol.
Oval with Irish PM
VP Vance and Rubio are on sofa to Trump’s left. Trump asks Rubio to weigh in on Cuba.
Irish PM finally gets a question and air time. No criticism of US attack on Iran. Says Ireland wants peace. "Ultimately all conflicts come to an end and we have to work toward that."
Q why should the UK be supportive on Iran…A/Trump re US-UK relationship "Always was the best until Kier came along…. Nice man with a beautiful family. Everything's perfect, but he doesn't produce."
One friction point with Starmer is his energy policy, Trump says. Goes off on windmills.
"They're very bad environmentally. They kill birds. They make noise." In UK "they have windmills all over the country, destroying those gorgeous Scottish fields…I'm proudly telling you that we're going to try and have no windmills built in the United States during my--" (questions drown out end of sentence)
Q the Irish president's comments critical of Iran war
A. Look he's lucky I exist
.. everybody in the whole world should be very thankful…"
Q re BBC lawsuit
A they admit they're guilty but we'll see how it turns out.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Foreign Pool Report # 11
VP JD Vance said, in substance, that there have been many militia attacks against U.S. positions in the region, that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tried to limit the number of people at the embassy so essential functions can continue while protecting personnel, and that the episode shows there are many terrorists in that part of the world who need to be eliminated when found.
