Trump says six people have been arrested and seven cited over reflecting pool changes - US politics live

Key Points:

• Donald Trump claims six people have been arrested and seven cited for alleged vandalism to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, increasing previous reports of five arrests and five citations, though no evidence has been provided for these claims.
• Trump’s $14 million renovation of the reflecting pool, intended to turn the water “American flag blue,” has faced issues including algal blooms and peeling paint, but he blames “vandals” for the damage instead of acknowledging problems with the project.
• The Department of Homeland Security will allow the Iranian World Cup team to enter the US two days before their match against Egypt, easing previous travel restrictions that had disadvantaged the team’s preparation and recovery.
• A federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to expand a fast-track deportation process, enabling expedited removal of migrants living far from the US border, overturning a prior lower-court ruling that blocked this expansion.
• In Pennsylvania, Trump promoted job creation and manufacturing at a Mack Trucks plant amid rising living costs, while also doubling down on claims regarding Iran’s nuclear inspections and the reflecting pool vandalism.
