President Donald Trump threatened to take State Department paintings home during a mining roundtable Friday, breaking off mid-speech to size up the room's art and declare, "I'm taking it." The event was held in the Benjamin Franklin State Dining Room at the State Department, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted nearly 200 mining executives. Trump opened his remarks by touting the administration's mining investments, according to a White House transcript. "I'm delighted to be here at the Department of State to announce some of the largest ever investments in American mining," Trump said. The White House said Trump announced more than $2 billion in mining investments and $180 million in mining school grants at the event.
