Trump Criticizes Schumer as 'Palestinian' in Meeting

President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as 'a Palestinian,' claiming he is 'not Jewish anymore,' during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin. This comment follows Schumer's defense of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, who faces accusations related to supporting a terrorist organization. Trump used this rhetoric to criticize Schumer's stance on issues involving Israel and his opposition to Trump's policies. Schumer, responding to Trump's remarks, highlighted his commitment to fighting antisemitism and criticized Trump for promoting antisemitic stereotypes. The comments come amid ongoing political tensions as Republicans seek Democratic support to pass a federal budget to avoid a government shutdown. Trump's remarks also coincided with broader discussions on tariffs and economic policies, including efforts to reduce egg prices through increased imports.
