Steve Bannon Meets Up With President Trump At The White House

It’s good to see these two together again.

Former senior adviser to President Trump and host of the War Room, Steve Bannon, was spotted at the White House on Thursday afternoon.

Bannon was at the White House to have lunch with President Trump.

The NY Daily News had more details to add:

President Trump delayed his decision on whether attack Iran for two weeks following a Thursday sighting of Steve Bannon at the White House. The visit comes amid big divisions in his MAGA movement over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

“There’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran,” Trump said in a statement issued by the White House, adding, “I’ll make my decision to go within the next two weeks.”

The two-week framework for deciding whether to attack Iran marks a significant delay from the urgent timeline of days or hours that advisers and Israeli officials had previously been presenting.

European diplomats are expected to meet with Iranian officials for talks over the weekend, but American envoy Steve Witkoff is not expected to attend.

Bannon, a key voice in the far-right isolationist wing of Trump’s base, had lunch with Trump, a get-together that was rescheduled from a previous date because he was ill, NBC News reported, quoting White House aides.

The firebrand podcast host and former White House political adviser has repeatedly warned Trump not to join Israel’s military campaign against Iran.

Trump’s lunch with Bannon is significant considering Bannon has been on his podcast for the last several weeks urging Israel to finish what they started in Iran without the United States’ involvement.

Watch here:

The USA Today reported what Bannon believes will happen to the MAGA base if Trump decides to do an airstrike on Iran:

The “vast majority” of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement “will get on board” with strikes on Iran, if the two-term Republican goes ahead with military action, his former chief White House strategist Steve Bannon says.

Should he decide there’s no diplomatic solution to be had, Trump will need to walk the American people and MAGA through his thinking, Bannon told reporters at a June 18 breakfast hosted by Christian Science Monitor. But Trump is also likely to win most of his naysaying supporters over.

“There will be some, but the vast majority of the MAGA movement will go, ‘look, we trust your judgement, you’ve walked us through this, we don’t like it, in fact maybe we hate it, but we’ll get on board,’” Bannon said.

Bannon is one of a number of MAGA stars who’s come out against the U.S. actively aiding Israel in ongoing airstrikes on Iranian uranium enrichment and military sites. He said that U.S. military involvement could “blow up the coalition” during a June 16 appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show.

Bannon at the breakfast railed against “old Republican Party” members and media personalities, who he said are “forever war types” who supported the Iraq invasion and other conflicts the MAGA movement opposes.

Steve Bannon speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland, U.S., February 20, 2025. Bannon is among a group of MAGA figures who have concerns about potential U.S. military involvement in Iran.

Bannon also chided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for trying to present strikes on Iran as consistent with ‘America First’ values during a recent interview with a United States broadcaster.

“I do believe that even as we speak that President Trump is looking for potential alternatives,” Bannon said, telling reporters that Trump prefers “optionality” in his decision-making process.
