Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2026
September 27, 2026
The President. So thank you very much. It was an exciting day. The team was unbelievable.
It was one of the greatest comebacks in the history of golf. I could say history of sports, but certainly in the history of golf. It was amazing. They played—our team played unbelievable golf. They went in with a massive deficit, and they came out with a tremendous victory. Just a great comeback, one of the biggest ever.
And I want to congratulate Brandt Snedeker, who's, by the way, a great player, but he turned out to be an unbelievable captain, and he's fantastic.
And by the way, the other team, composed of various nations, was fantastic. They played two days, unbelievable, and got beaten in the last day at a record level.
But it was just a tremendous thing to watch, a tremendous comeback. And again, Brandt Snedeker was incredible the way he maneuvered the teams. I think both captains did a great job. It was a great tournament, and it was an honor to be involved. Really, an honor. It set a record for attendance, and I'll bet it got great television ratings too because it was very exciting. But the American team was unbelievable. It was a big, big win.
So I want to thank you. I hope you had a good time. Some of you aren't into the world of golf, but you witnessed a very historic event today. It was actually—in terms of sport and in terms of golf, and in terms of our country, it was a great win.
So I just want to congratulate the team, the captain, and everybody involved.
And by the way, the golf course and the people involved with the course did a great job. It's a storied course, Medinah, near Chicago, right outside. A storied course, and it showed so well, and they did such a great job. It was beautiful. And that's my world. The job they did of conditioning and everything else was amazing.
So I want to congratulate all of the people that are members of Medinah. They did a great
job.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Security Incident at Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, United Kingdom
Q. Mr. President, do you know any more about the attacks? Were these suspects migrants in U.K.? And is there a connection to Iran by chance?
The President. We know all about them, and you'll be hearing about it very soon. We caught them.
Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei of Anthropic
Q. What's your 2 o'clock announcement about tomorrow? Your big announcement tomorrow, what is it about?
The President. Well, we're meeting with Anthropic, as you know, on Tuesday. That's going to be big. And we have a couple of unrelated things tonight.
And tonight I'm having dinner with the head of Anthropic.
Q. Late dinner.
The President. So these are long days, but I seem to be able to handle it, right? These are long days. People said, "Really?" I said, "I'm having dinner at 10 o'clock tonight." So we travel all over the world and we have dinner, but that's all right.
So, no, I'm having dinner with Dario from—as you know, very highly respected—from Anthropic. He's the head of Anthropic.
Governor Jay R. "J.B." Pritzker of Illinois
Q. Did you get any congratulations from Pritzker? Did you hear from him at all? The President. No. No, no. I didn't hear from him. I didn't hear from him. [Laughter] [At this point, the President addressed a member of the gathered press as follows.] You okay?
Q. Great.
The President. Great photographer.
So that's a long day, right? We leave early in the morning, and now I have a dinner with Anthropic. But that's okay. It's good stuff.
Q. What are you having for dinner?
The President. You know why it's good? Because our nation is winning.
We had an incredible meeting with President Xi. It lasted for a long time. I mean, actually 2 days, if you think about it.
Q. [Inaudible]
The President. And we made tremendous—we made tremendous progress.
This last 3 days has been very amazing. That was a great meeting with President Xi, and a lot of good things are happening, including for our farmers.
Thank you all very much.
One thing I have to say: With the exception of oil—which is lower than the Biden administration, and we no longer have to worry about nuclear weapons with Iran because they're wiped out—but with the exception of oil, everything is going down. We have it going down. We inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country, and it's going really down; 401(k)s are at their alltime high. The stock markets are at their alltime high. And our country is doing really well.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Q. What do you think of Dario's warnings about AI?
NOTE: The President spoke at 9:16 p.m. on the tarmac after exiting Air Force One en route from Chicago, IL. In his remarks, he referred to President Xi Jinping of China.
