Trump Rules Out Amnesty, Backs Permitting Bill, Blocks Wind Turbines

President Donald Trump addressed the press on November 10, stating that his administration is prepared to engage with Democrats on an immigration compromise, but will not entertain an amnesty for undocumented individuals. “We are not going to give any amnesty,” he told the reporters, insisting that legal pathways must be respected.

The discussion also covered a bipartisan permitting bill that is slated for a vote later that evening. Trump praised the draft as “a great bill that should receive 100 percent support from both parties.” He hinted that the GOP and the Democrats share a common desire to see it enacted, though he offered no details on potential pressure tactics for its passage.

A notable point of contention emerged when the president was asked about approval for wind turbine projects tied to the permitting legislation. Trump’s answer was categorical: “No, I will not approve wind turbines.” He explained that the issue is still under negotiation and no final decision has been made.

In addition to immigration, Trump defended the administration’s recent military moves in Venezuela and Iran, describing a 48‑minute operation in Venezuela and claiming a decisive victory over Iran’s air and naval forces. He warned that rising energy prices could hurt his political standing but pledged that rates would fall.

Overall, the briefing underscored the president’s selective willingness to cooperate with Democrats—limited to immigration and the permitting bill—while drawing a hard line on amnesty and renewable‑energy concessions.
