- Trump visited the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, where he spoke with an AI version of the 20th-century president.
- During the AI interaction, Trump asked whether the Panama Canal was Roosevelt's greatest achievement, to which the AI responded that it was a "proud battle," but that true greatness was measured by lives improved.
- Trump has previously stated intentions to "take back" the Panama Canal, deeming it a "VITAL National Asset," a stance Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has firmly rejected, asserting his country's non-negotiable sovereignty.
- The visit included a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the library, which is set to open to the public on July 4, and Trump also loaned Roosevelt’s Medal of Honor to the institution.
- In a speech following the tour, Trump reiterated his AI conversation, made hyperbolic claims about the Panama Canal's transfer, and made a peculiar comment about refusing to compare his vote count to Roosevelt's.
