Today, at his first news conference since winning the 2024 election, President-elect

Donald Trump spoke about a number of his policy priorities and answered questions on

a wide range of issues.

Despite the potential U.S. ban of TikTok next month, Mr. Trump said he had what he called

a warm spot in his heart for the popular social media app.

That's after winning a larger share of Gen Z voters than he expected in this year's election.

And that's as the Chinese own app asked the Supreme Court today to block that law that could result in a U.S. ban.

When it came to foreign policy, Mr. Trump declined to say whether he'd spoken with

Russian President Vladimir Putin since the election. But he did reiterate his goal to end the war

in Ukraine as quickly as possible, adding that Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky,

should be prepared to make a deal. And he criticized the Biden administration's recent

decision to allow Ukraine to

fire U.S. supplied long-range missiles into Russia. I don't think they should have allowed

missiles to be shot 200 miles into Russia. I think that was a bad thing. I don't think that should

have been allowed, not when there's a possibility, and certainly not just weeks

before I take over. Why would they do that without asking me what I thought? I wouldn't have

had him do that. I think it was a big mistake they meant. Mr. Trump also weighed in on a defamation

lawsuit he settled with ABC News for $15 million. The suit followed an ABC segment earlier this year in which George Stephanopoulos said

Mr. Trump had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll, a New York jury

found him liable for sexual abuse.

The $15 million will be contributed to Trump's future presidential foundation and museum.

Mr. Trump was asked about the settlement and whether he plans to file similar suits attributed to Trump's future presidential foundation and museum.
