El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, who met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, tweeted on Monday night, "I miss you already, President T."

While seated next to Bukele in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump spoke highly of the foreign leader, saying that Salvadorans "have one hell of a president."

Bukele took note last week when Trump referred to him as "President B" in a Truth Social post.

FIRST ON FOX: The first Mexico-born member of Congress is launching her comeback bid on Tuesday, setting her sights on a Democrat who Republicans view as one of the most vulnerable House incumbents of 2026.

"Unfortunately, we don't have that many voices in the Spanish-speaking community — in Telemundo, in television — talking to the Spanish-speaking community about the amazing work President Trump is doing, and his administration," former Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital in an interview prior to her announcement.

Former President Joe Biden returns to the national stage Tuesday to elevate liberal concerns that President Donald Trump's agenda is threatening the health of Social Security.

The 82-year-old Democrat has largely avoided speaking publicly since leaving the White House in January. That's even as Trump frequently blames Biden for many of the nation's problems, often attacking his predecessor by name.

Biden is expected to fight back in an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in...

Political violence is spiraling out of control.

I don’t care which party you identify with. I don’t care if you like or dislike Donald Trump. This has been building for years, and perhaps we’ve become as inured to it as we have with most mass shootings.

The most prominent example, of course, is the two assassination attempts against the president. On the shooting in Butler, Pa. that grazed his ear, Trump would not have survived if he hadn’t been turning his head to point to a chart. The second attempt was foiled by the Secret Service.

If an immigrant who the government claims is a gang member can be deported to El Salvador without any due process rights, then why not a U.S. citizen?

That was the nightmarish scenario immigration advocates and constitutional law experts were considering on Monday after President Donald Trump again pushed a provocative plan to deport U.S. citizens who have been convicted of unspecified crimes.

Trump discussed the issue in the White House with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who has agreed to deposit people deported from the U.S. into a...

Bachir Atallah and his wife, Jessica Fakhri, were traveling back from a quick family trip Sunday when they say U.S. Customs and Border Protection stopped them when reentering the country in Vermont.

"I literally drove my car to Canada for the weekend, and on the way back, I was treated like a criminal," said Atallah, who has been a U.S. citizen for 10 years.

He recalled being forced from his car.

A group of five small businesses sued President Donald Trump on Monday, seeking to block new tariffs he has imposed on foreign imports in recent weeks.

The lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade alleges that Trump has illegally usurped Congress' power to levy tariffs by claiming that trade deficits with other countries constitute an emergency.

"Congress has not delegated any such power," the suit says. "The statute the Presidentinvokes — the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ('IEEPA') — does not authorize the President to...

In private conversations weeks ago, senior advisers close to President Trump warned that some tariff proposals could have devastating effects on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy spiraling.

The White House has taken pains to say administration officials are unified on the tariff effort announced on April 2, which the White House dubbed "Liberation Day."

But internal disagreements over that policy manifested well before that, with leaders offering predictions of serious economic instability, multiple sources familiar with the...
