President Donald Trump has signed an executive order creating the "Presidential Military Spouse Commission." The new body will focus on identifying and addressing the specific challenges military families encounter in areas such as housing, employment, healthcare, and childcare.

“

develop suggestions to address particular challenges in housing, employment, health care, education, child childcare and just about everything else you can think of.

Jennifer Hegseth, wife of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has been appointed to lead the commission. Trump stated that the commission's goal is to develop concrete suggestions to improve the lives of those serving in the military and their families. This initiative follows similar efforts by previous administrations to support military families.

In separate remarks, President Trump discussed upcoming negotiations with Iran, describing them as the "last chance" for Tehran to reach a deal and avoid further U.S. military action. He outlined a two-phase approach, beginning with reopening the Strait of Hormuz and followed by addressing Iran's nuclear program. Trump expressed confidence in the U.S. military's recent actions against Iran but noted the challenges of sustaining a potentially unpopular war ahead of the midterm elections.

The first phase is the opening of the straits. The second phase will be the denuclearization.

The president also addressed allegations of domestic violence against Rep. Max Miller, a Republican congressman from Ohio. Trump stated he knows Miller and considers him a "good person," but deferred judgment, saying he would let the families involved "figure that out." Miller has denied the accusations made by his former wife, who is the daughter of a prominent Republican senator close to Trump.

It's a very sad thing. I know Max. He's a good person.
