How and where is Donald Trump after the attack on him?
Former President Donald Trump, victim yesterday of a failed attack during a political rally in Butler (Pennsylvania), spent Sunday in detained at the Bedminister golf club, in New Jersey, of his property.
The accesses to the golf club in this wooded area of New Jersey have been closed this Sunday both north and south, and the different roads that lead to the facilities are protected by the security services, which only allow access to some vehicles, and are extreme security around the former president.
Journalists were forced to be located about 5 kilometers from the entrances, next to the Bedminster public library. Many of them have been stationed in the place for several hours with the only hope of seeing their entourage leave on the nearby road at some point in the day, although they could also leave by helicopter or even not leave until tomorrow.
Trump, who yesterday saw himself in apparent good shape only hours after the attack – he lowered the stairs of the plane on his own foot when he arrived at Newark airport -, has promised to be at the Republican Party convention tomorrow where his candidacy will be proclaimed and where he could appoint his vice president.
Taking advantage of the presence of journalists, a group of Trump fans defied the temperatures of this Sunday and mounted a small demonstration of support next to a road crossing, to which the neighbors of this rural place with little urbanization were joining.
There were numerous vehicles that passed by them and repeatedly honked the horn to support them, or that took their thumbs out the window to encourage them. Many of them carried American flags in the wind or others with the slogan “Make America Great Again”.
One of the protesters, Nancy, 65, in a dress xerographed with a montage of photos of the former president, assures that God has marked everyone’s destiny and yesterday was not Trump’s time; about the attacker, she said that “everyone who hates Trump knows that only killing him can prevent his victory.”
On board his Harley Davidson came Miguel Madero, a Puerto Rican who works in construction and who left because he believes that only Trump “can save this country from socialism,” an idea that according to him all his clients share with whom he talks about politics.
All the participants in this small demonstration blamed the press for what happened yesterday, because according to them the “mainstream” (dominant) media have long been sowing a rhetoric of hatred against Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular that has led to this attempted assassination.

German president says trust in U.S. leadership is ‘lost’ amid global tensions
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Tuesday that trust between the United States and its Western allies has been “lost,” warning that the damage could persist beyond the presidency of Donald Trump.
“The rupture is very deep, and the loss of trust in U.S. great power policy is significant—not only among its allies, but also, as I observe, globally,” Steinmeier said during a speech in Berlin marking the 75th anniversary of Germany’s Foreign Ministry.
Referring to the future of transatlantic relations, he stated that “there is no return to the situation before January 20, 2025,” the date marking the start of Trump’s second term in the White House.
“Even a future U.S. administration will no longer be able to resume the role of a benevolent hegemon guaranteeing a liberal international order,” added Steinmeier, who previously served as Germany’s foreign minister.
He also criticized the war against Iran, describing it as “contrary to international law” and calling it “a political mistake with serious consequences.”
“This war is avoidable and unnecessary,” he said.
Although the German presidency is largely ceremonial, Steinmeier’s remarks reflect a broader concern within Germany, aligning with the government’s cautious stance while going further in tone.

Trump claims talks with Iran as G7 meets to address global tensions
U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States has held talks with Iran—a claim denied by Tehran—and has temporarily paused his threat to target the country’s electrical infrastructure.
In his first overseas trip since the United States and Israel launched their offensive on February 28, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to address key global issues, including the situation in the Middle East, according to State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven will meet in Cernay-la-Ville, close to Versailles, on the outskirts of Paris.
During the meeting, Rubio will hold discussions with his counterparts on “the war between Russia and Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, and threats to global peace and stability,” Pigott said.
France currently holds the presidency of the G7, whose members also include the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Although all G7 nations are close allies of the United States, none has offered explicit support for Washington’s military actions against Iran, a stance that has reportedly frustrated Trump.
Last Saturday, G7 foreign ministers called for an “immediate and unconditional end” to Iranian attacks against U.S. allies in the Middle East.

Pentagon to deploy 3,000 troops to Persian Gulf as Middle East tensions escalate
The Pentagon is planning to deploy nearly 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Persian Gulf, according to two senior officials cited Tuesday by Spanish newspaper El País.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah warned it would confront any attempt at occupation following Israel’s announcement that its military will take control of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, located about 30 kilometers from the border.
In recent hours, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on Beirut, while Iran and Hezbollah responded with attacks on Israel, leaving at least six people with minor injuries in Tel Aviv.
The escalation comes as global markets react to renewed instability. The price of oil rose again above $100 per barrel after a brief decline the previous day, following an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a five-day truce on attacks targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure.
Despite the announcement, Iranian authorities reported that two projectiles struck a gas pipeline in Khorramshahr and administrative buildings at a gas facility in Isfahan early Tuesday.
