Donald Trump is talking about what appeared to be a warm moment between him and Barack Obama.

Trump concedes the pair did seem to be on friendly terms when cameras captured them chatting, and Obama laughing as they sat next to each other Thursday at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

The president-elect was asked about it later in a Fox News interview from his home in Florida.

“It did look very friendly, I must say,” Trump said. “I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I saw it on your wonderful network, just a little while ago before I came in and I said ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other.’ And we probably do,” he said.

Trump didn’t say what he and Obama were talking about in the viral moment.

“We have little different philosophies, right? I don’t know, we just got along. But I got along with everybody on that. You know we met backstage before we went on, and I thought it was a beautiful service, but we all got along very well.”

Trump answered questions from Fox News’ Peter Doocy for roughly 20 minutes ahead of the president-elect’s meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago.

He again criticized state and local officials in California for their handling of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and reiterated his interest in Greenland and making Canada into the 51st state.

He didn’t have an answer on whether he supported the Biden administration’s talks with the Taliban for the release of Americans held in Afghanistan, saying he would be looking into it on Friday. Asked about recent mysterious drone sightings, he vowed to release a report the day after his inauguration “because I think it’s ridiculous they’re not telling you about the drones.”

Trump also said his team is working on scheduling meetings with several foreign leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. He said his team has also been in communication with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Donald Trump is trying again with Christine Jack Toretti — this time nominating her to serve as the next ambassador to Sweden.

During his last administration, Trump tapped Toretti, a businesswoman and GOP fundraiser, as his pick to become the ambassador to Malta. The Senate never confirmed her, returning her nomination in 2019 and again in 2020, with Democrats questioning the quality of some of Trump’s nominees. Toretti at the time was reported to have had a restraining order filed against her for allegedly putting a bullet-riddled target sheet in the office of her ex-husband’s doctor.

In a statement Thursday, Trump called Toretti an “incredible businesswoman, philanthropist, public servant, and RNC Committeewoman for the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” touting her lengthy resume, including her role as chair of S&T Bancorp and as the former director of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Bank.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s controversial pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has an experienced guide to shepherd him to confirmation in the Senate.

Ken Nahigian, who led the Trump transition in 2017, is Kennedy’s liaison to senators, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Nahigian knows the Senate well. He worked for the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee under then-Chairs John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska). He cut his teeth in politics working advance for longtime Kansas Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign.

Nahigian is currently executive vice president for policy and communications at the communications shop Nahigian Strategies.

After working on Trump’s transition in 2017, he and his firm secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal consulting contracts through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

He once lobbied for health care interests, including the Israeli drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals and the Coalition for Access Now, which promotes cannabidiol, a marijuana derivative, for medical purposes.

Nahigian is working with Katie Miller, who was then-Vice President Mike Pence’s communications director and is married to Trump adviser Stephen Miller. She is handling the communications around Kennedy’s confirmation process.

Nahigian declined to comment. He and his brother Keith have run Nahigian Strategies since 2007, and both have done stints for GOP campaigns.

Kennedy spent Wednesday and Thursday on Capitol Hill, attempting to win the votes of Senate Republicans and Democrats who will decide whether he leads HHS.

House Democrats, the Democratic governor of Hawaii, and progressive groups are urging a no vote. On Thursday, the Committee to Protect Health Care, a physicians’ advocacy group, released an open letter signed by more than 15,000 doctors calling Kennedy, who has long questioned public health consensus about the importance of vaccination, “dangerous.”

Republicans have mostly backed Kennedy and he can win confirmation if 50 of the 53 GOP senators vote for him.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who sits on the Finance Committee, which will likely hold a confirmation hearing in the coming weeks, said he would vote to confirm.

“He’s not anti-vaccine,” Cornyn said. “He is pro-vaccine safety, which strikes me as a rational position to take.”

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a longtime advocate of farm interests, told reporters Kennedy’s views on farming and food production are “much more reasonable than I expected,” despite Kennedy’s past criticism of genetically modified plants and pesticides.

“The reports I read didn’t reflect what he actually believes and how he will act in those areas,” Grassley said.

Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman of Arkansas also said he had a “good meeting” with Kennedy during which they spoke about Kennedy’s views on pesticides.

“That’s the kind of talk I like to hear,” Boozman said.

Boozman added that Kennedy would merely try to discourage consumption of ultra-processed foods, not seek to ban ingredients or manufacturing processes.

Boozman said he’d wait until Kennedy’s confirmation hearing to say if he’ll vote for him.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who leads the committee that oversees HHS, said he had a “frank” discussion with Kennedy Wednesday, offering a more tepid assessment than some of his fellow Republicans.

Democratic senators who sat down with Kennedy, including Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, wouldn’t comment after meeting with him.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) deflected on whether he would vote to confirm.

“I absolutely believe in vaccinations,” Fetterman said. “I would never argue against [vaccines].”
