AI-Generated Summary
Donald Trump addressed various topics in Florida, including inflation, attributing it to Joe Biden and claiming progress in the country during his recent trip.

Greetings from Florida, where Donald Trump is currently at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

I've been travelling with the President in the "Sunshine State" since Friday, but his only remarks to the travelling press pool came on Sunday, shortly after a splashy visit to the Daytona 500 Nascar race.

Speaking to reporters after descending from Air Force One back in Palm Beach, Trump spent a few minutes discussing a range of topics, including Ukraine, US weapons shipments to Israel, tariffs and inflation - for which he laid the blame squarely at the feet of Joe Biden.

"I've been here for three weeks. I have had nothing to do with inflation. That was caused by Biden," he told us.

"But I'll tell you what, this country has made more progress in the last three weeks than it's made in the last four years ago," Trump added. "And we're respected again as a country."

So far, Trump has only one event on his public schedule today: signing executive orders at 16:00 EST (21:00 GMT).

At the moment, this will take place behind closed doors - but over the last several weeks we've seen these signings open up to the press at a moment's notice.
