He announced Monday that SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son will make a major investment during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

“Today, I am thrilled to announce that SoftBank will be investing $100 billion in America, creating 100,000 American jobs at a minimum, and he’s doing this because he feels very optimistic about our country since the election,” Trump said, flanked by Son and Howard Lutnick, his nominee to lead the Commerce Department.

The investment is another win for Trump, roughly one month before he is sworn into office, along with a GOP-controlled Congress.

TRUMP CABINET PICKS: WHO’S BEEN TAPPED TO SERVE IN THE PRESIDENT-ELECT’S ADMINISTRATION

During his first postelection press conference, Trump called on his predecessor, Biden, to stop selling the U.S. southern border wall and defended Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his pick for health and human services secretary, as he meets with senators Monday afternoon and Pete Hegseth, his defense secretary nominee.

He also claimed that he would consider pardoning indicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams and that he had a “warm spot in my heart” for TikTok, the social media app facing a ban in the U.S., and he called the Russia-Ukraine war more grave than Israel’s battle against Hamas.

Here are the top takeaways from the press conference.

1. Trump is taking a look at a possible TikTok ban

Trump did not directly claim he would stop a law that effectively bans TikTok in the U.S., but he did express some affinity for the app that is popular with younger people.

“We’ll take a look at TikTok,” Trump said when asked about the social media platform. “I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth by 34 points, and there are those that say TikTok had something to do with that.”

Chinese parent company ByteDance must either divest its ownership of the app or face a ban on Jan. 19, according to the legislation.

Trump tried to ban the app during his first term as president.

2. Trump calls on Biden to stop harming southern border wall

After commenting on the amount of money used to construct the southern border wall, the president-elect claimed that Biden was undermining American security by selling unused materials cheaply.

“We spent a tremendous amount of money on building the wall. The wall was designed specifically by the Border Patrol because it’s very hard to climb,” Trump said, referencing the concrete used for the wall.

He then complained that the Biden administration was underselling unused materials for the border wall through an online auction, which it is required to do under the National Defense Authorization Act. Congress passed the legislation last year.

“We’re going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on building the same wall we already have,” Trump said. “It’s almost a criminal act.”

The president-elect then made a personal plea to Biden.

“I’m asking today, Joe Biden, to please stop selling wall,” Trump said.

3. Federal workers must come back to the office, Trump says

Under Trump, federal government workers will be expected to work in the office after workers had been allowed to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” Trump warned. “And somebody in the Biden administration gave a five-year waiver of that so that for five years, people don’t have to come back into the office. It involved 49,000 people.”

Trump claimed he would go to court to stop the work-from-home policy.

Despite the hard-fought presidential campaign, Trump said he and Biden would have “a friendly takeover, a friendly transition.”

4. Trump tamps down fears about RFK Jr.

Trump sought to tamp down fears that Kennedy would radically revamp the Health and Human Services Department next year if he is confirmed by the Senate.

Kennedy expressed skepticism about vaccines before running for president and falsely claimed vaccines lead to an increase in autism rates.

“I think he’s going to be much less radical than you would think,” Trump said. “I think he’s got a very open mind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put him there.”

Trump also sought to ease fears that Kennedy could recall the polio vaccine. He is a “very rational guy,” Trump said of Kennedy. “You’re not going to lose the polio vaccine. That’s not going to happen,” he continued.

“I think everything should be looked at, but I’m a big believer in the polio vaccine,” Trump also said about his personal opinion.

Trump also pushed back against vaccine mandates when asked by a reporter. “I don’t like mandates. I’m not a big mandate person,” he said.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT TRUMP IS PRESIDENT-ELECT

5. Trump says DeSantis will make the right decision on Senate seat

Trump said his one-time primary rival Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) will make the appropriate decision as he weighs filling Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) Senate seat should he be confirmed as secretary of state.

When asked if he thought DeSantis would appoint his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to the seat, Trump said, “No, I probably don’t.”

“Ron’s doing a good job. That’s his choice. Nothing to do with me,” Trump said before praising the younger Trump’s work as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

6. Trump stands by embattled Pete Hegseth

Hegseth, Trump’s controversial defense secretary nominee, received another boost of support from Trump, who praised him on Monday.

“I think Pete Hegseth is making tremendous strides over the last week,” Trump said after Hegseth faced some reticence from Republican senators.

“Pete Hegseth gave up a lot because he was going big places in Fox. Big, big places. A lot of money,” Trump said. “And he didn’t even hesitate when I said, ‘Do you want to do this?’ He said, ‘Absolutely!’ I said, ‘You know, if it doesn’t work out, you’ll never have the opportunity that you have right now in terms of the world of entertainment, entertainment business, whatever you want to call it.’”

Hegseth was accused of sexual assault stemming from a 2017 incident and has been accused of a drinking problem by employees at Fox News. He has denied wrongdoing.

But after a MAGA pressure campaign, GOP senators appear to be sticking by Hegseth.

“He gave up a tremendous amount. If this doesn’t work, it would be a tragedy. Because, but that’s what he loves, he loves the military,” Trump said.

7. Trump weighs in on drone sightings

Trump accused the Biden administration of not being forthcoming on the multiple sights of drones in New Jersey and suggested he would stay away from his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort.

“The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from,” Trump said when asked. “They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don’t want to comment, and I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows, and our president knows. And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.”

The president-elect wouldn’t say if he had received an intelligence briefing on the matter, but he ruled out an adversary as the culprit of the drones.

“Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should,” he said.

8. Trump threatens to sue Iowa pollster

After a longtime Des Moines Register poll suggested that Trump would lose Iowa to Vice President Kamala Harris proved incorrect, Trump plans to take legal action within the next few days.

Ann Selzer posted the survey just days before the election, sending the political world into a frenzy that Trump might lose the reliably red state of Iowa.

“I’m doing this not because I want to. I’m doing this because I feel I have an obligation to,” Trump said.

“The people in Iowa, their newspaper had a very, very good pollster who got me right all the time,” Trump continued. “And then, just before the election, she said I was going to lose by 4 points, and it became the biggest story of all time, all over the world.”

Trump slammed Selzer’s polling as “fraud” and “election interference.”

9. Trump stands by tariffs

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly promised to impose tariffs on countries that build their factories outside the U.S. or as a means of punishment against nations that allow immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally.

Economists have warned that tariffs could increase prices, which Trump has dismissed.

“Tariffs will make our country rich,” he said when asked about the issue. “Well, I didn’t have any inflation, and I had massive tariffs on a lot of things. We put tariffs on steel.”

Trump claimed the nation made a fortune on tariffs against the Chinese. “To me, tariffs, the most beautiful word in the dictionary. It will make our country rich,” Trump said.

WHAT TRUMP HAS PROMISED TO DO ON DAY 1 IN THE OVAL OFFICE

10. Trump issues threat against Hamas again

Trump said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a “very good talk” over the weekend.

“I’ll be very available on Jan. 20,” Trump said about his inauguration. “I gave warning that if these hostages aren’t back home by that date, all hell is going to break out.”

Hamas still has not released all the hostages that were taken on Oct. 7, 2023, when it launched a terrorist attack against Israel, sparking war.

“It’s not going to be pleasant,” Trump said, if the war has not ended through a ceasefire deal by the time he begins a second term.
