Trump mocked the language he said was being used by Iranian leaders, including threats to kill their opponents.

His comments came as the United States remained focused on the conflict and military pressure involving Iran.

Trump Says No Amnesty for Undocumented Immigrants

Trump said undocumented immigrants would not receive amnesty and urged voters to support Republicans.

These were Trump's political characterizations of El-Sayed.

Trump Comments on Canada and Ocean Names

According to the claims presented at the rally, a US fighter jet disabled a Panama-flagged cargo ship after repeated warnings in the Gulf of Oman.

He also cited figures concerning ships that had allegedly been turned around, disabled or destroyed during the US blockade.

These military claims were presented in Trump's remarks.

Fetterman remains a Democratic senator, and Trump's remarks were an invitation rather than an announcement of any party switch.
