NPR's Ron Elving analyzed the Oval Office meeting, characterizing it as a staged event for television intended to signal Trump's "America First" priorities to both domestic supporters and Vladimir Putin.

NPR's Ron Elving faced mockery for repeatedly stumbling over the word "Social Security," appearing to say "Social Charcuterie" during a report on federal job cuts. The report focused on the elimination of 7,000 positions at the Social Security Administration. Critics argue the media is attempting to conflate staff reductions with benefit cuts to mislead the public.
