• Trump hosts Saudi officials at Mar-a-Lago while market crashes — While the stock market experienced significant declines, Trump hosted Yasir Al-Rumayyan, head of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and LIV golf league, at his Trump Doral resort in Miami. All 643 rooms at the resort were sold out for the weekend. Trump also hosted a $1 million-per-head dinner at his private club in Palm Beach. Tournament sponsors included Saudi oil company Aramco, Saudi Riyadh Air, and TikTok. The White House issued a statement about Trump winning his second-round match in a senior club championship, but banned all reporters from observing him play.
• DHS used British man's tattoo in gang-identification document without consent or verification — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security included a photograph of a British man's forearm tattoo—depicting his daughter's birth date and time—in an official document used to identify alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Pete Belton, a 44-year-old from Derbyshire, discovered his tattoo image, sourced from a decade-old Instagram post by a UK tattoo artist, was listed among nine tattoo images purportedly linked to gang affiliation. The BBC's reverse-image searches found several tattoos in the DHS document had no obvious gang connections and originated from tattoo websites. The same image also appeared in a Texas Department of Public Safety report.
• Trump endorses Saudi-backed LIV Golf takeover of PGA Tour — President Trump has given explicit backing to the controversial proposed takeover of the PGA Tour by the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, attending an LIV tournament at his Miami resort (Trump National Doral) last week. This is the fourth LIV tournament held at the president's resort. Critics argue the deal would effectively hand control of US golf to Saudi Arabia. The deal has not been finalized but has received Trump's public support.
