What happened

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller took reporters’ questions outside the White House on July 24, 2026, in LiveNOW from FOX’s recording. On Saudi Arabia, Miller deferred to the President’s answers but said President Trump had been clear since his first term about ‘his expectations, timelines, and commitments on their normalization of relations with Israel and their entering the Abraham Accords,’ and that no American alive better understands ’the psychology of the kingdom.’

On Nicaragua’s shutdown of elections, Miller said the Ortega regime’s move was ’not surprising’ — ‘you can vote your way into socialism or communism, but you can’t vote your way out of it’ — and placed the U.S. response in the hemisphere realignment he said was underway, citing election results in Colombia, Honduras, Costa Rica, Peru and Ecuador aligning with the United States. He confirmed he would attend that night’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner, thanked law enforcement and the Secret Service for its security posture, and said the President’s expectations for passage of the Save America Act were ‘absolutely, unequivocally, unmistakably clear.’

Why it matters

The gaggle is Miller speaking as foreign-policy spokesman on the administration’s two hemispheric storylines at once — Abraham Accords expansion in the Middle East and the claimed pro-Washington realignment in Latin America — hours before the rescheduled correspondents’ dinner the President headlined that night.

Scoreboard watch

Scoreboard watch: the Saudi normalization expectation as stated July 24, 2026 — timelines and commitments on Abraham Accords entry, per Miller — flagged for the scoreboard editors; the entry itself remains review-gated.
