During a special Hannity event Tuesday night, Fox News host Sean Hannity sat down with President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One during his swing through the Middle East.
Trump discussed his administration’s recent accomplishments, including a trade truce with China, a peace deal between India and Pakistan, slashing drug prices, the release of the last American hostage held by Hamas, and more.
“I’ve been busy,” Trump quipped.
.@seanhannity: This is an amazing week so far. You get a deal with China. India and Pakistan. You slashed prescription drug prices. The last American hostage has been released. @POTUS: “I’ve been busy but I’ve enjoyed it because we’re getting things accomplished.” pic.twitter.com/WKJYJMx6r5

While commenting on trade developments with China, Trump said it’s time for the country to “open up” to U.S. business; “That’s part of our deal,” Trump said.

Trump addressed his recent executive order to slash prescription drug prices in America by 30 – 80%; “For many years, we were taken advantage of by other countries and the drug companies… it turned out that we were paying, and sometimes you saw it, ten times more for the same drug… and it got to a point where I said, ‘We’re not going to do this anymore.'”

Trump also commented on the media mob’s outrage over the Defense Department accepting the gift of a private jet from Qatar that may ultimately be used as the new Air Force One.
Trump stressed Air Force One is 40 years old and America should have “the most impressive plane” to represent the country.
"There are those that say we shouldn't be accepting gifts to the Defense Department — and I would say only a stupid person would say that," says @POTUS.

"You see Saudi Arabia and you see UAE and you see Qatar and they have these brand new Boeing 747s — and you see ours next to it," @POTUS says of the 40-year-old Air Force One plane.
"We're the United States of America. I believe we should have the most impressive plane." 🇺🇸🔥 pic.twitter.com/aQBHz2dibk
