President Trump on Monday responded to a report where the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief claimed he was included on a Signal group where cabinet officials discussed military strikes on Houthi Muslims in Yemen.
The President delivered remarks Monday with Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Hyundai Motor Group executives to announce a “major economic development project for Louisiana.”
The South Korean auto manufacturer announced a $5.8 billion investment in American manufacturing to build its first-ever steel mill in the U.S., which President Trump said will produce “more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel per year” and create more than 1,400 steel jobs.
“In the next couple of years,” the President said, Hyundai will be investing at least $21 billion in U.S. manufacturing and “massively increasing its auto manufacturing in Georgia.”
“This investment is a very clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work,” President Trump added. “The tariffs are bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed.”
During an exchange with a reporter in the Roosevelt Room of the White House after the announcement, the President was asked if he had a response to the Atlantic’s reporting on military operations that were allegedly revealed to a reporter.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump-hating crank Jeffrey Goldberg claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
The so-called “Houthi PC small group” allegedly included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance.
