She&#8217;s releasing an EP in April and an album titled just Lara in late 2026, and the new single &#8220;Sah\u2011sah&#8221; (featuring Egyptian rapper Mohamed Ramadan) drops Friday with a sneak peek available now. The track was recorded and filmed at Trump National golf Club in Jupiter &#8211; effectively at home &#8211; underscoring her preference to stay close to family after declining a run for the vacant North Carolina Senate seat. producer LJ Fino and Warner Music Group are involved; the song&#8217;s heavy autotune and a viral clip of Ramadan teaching Lara a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnns-poppy-harlow-breaks-down-during-emotional-tribute-to-colleagues-2-year-old-son-lost-to-cancer\/\" title=\"CNN\u2019s Poppy Harlow Breaks Down During Emotional Tribute To Colleague\u2019s 2...Year...Old Son Lost To Cancer\">dance move<\/a> drew online ridicule, but Ramadan defended the collaboration as apolitical and artist-driven.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; At Davos, President Trump appeared fatigued but quipped about Greenland; his remarks drew nervous laughter. Separately, his comments criticizing U.S. officials&#8217; decision to allow chip sales to china &#8211; likening it to &#8220;selling nuclear weapons to North Korea&#8221; &#8211; undermined a recent d\u00e9tente between his team and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who had sought to repair relations with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; On the Chagos Islands\/Diego garcia issue, Trump unexpectedly slammed U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s handling of the territory transfer to Mauritius, marking a sharp U\u2011turn from earlier U.S. support for the deal. The column suggests the reversal was influenced by Nigel Farage and a conversation involving House Speaker Mike Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A lighter note: the Nuuk puzzle winners are announced; the four other capitals that can&#8217;t be colored in are Kyiv, Vilnius, Minsk, and Tunis.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is written by Rob Crilly for Washington Secrets and includes links to the single preview and related reporting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Exclusive first listen: Lara Trump is all at home with her new single<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2479999\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Welcome to the latest edition of Washington Secrets.

The video was filmed right there once the track was laid down.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing was kept not just close to home, but at home, given that Lara Trump, Eric Trump, and their two children have lived in a five-bedroom home in the gated Trump National Golf Club community for the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>A <em>Secrets <\/em>source said Lara Trump ruled out running in North Carolina because it would have taken her away from home and her young family. If she does dive deeper into politics &mdash; her huge fundraising haul for the Republican National Committee during the 2024 election suggested big things could follow &mdash; expect it to come no more than a wedge shot away from her base, somewhere in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<p>It was new territory for her collaborator, Ramadan. He is a regular on television and sits at the top of the charts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>He told <em>Secrets <\/em>that the whole thing was Lara Trump&rsquo;s idea, and he contributed lyrics in the style of an Egyptian romantic song, but with a melody that would crossover to a Western audience.<\/p>\n<p>The haters have already had their say. A clip of Ramadan teaching Lara Trump his signature &ldquo;Tiger&rdquo; dance move went viral over the weekend, with a slew of insulting comments.<\/p>\n<p>And they will no doubt have more to add about the single&rsquo;s heavy use of autotune (even though <em>Secrets<\/em>, an aficionado of Middle Eastern and North African pop, where it is treated as an extra instrument, is all in favor).<\/p>\n<p>But Mohamed said he never had any worries about teaming up with such a visible member of MAGA&rsquo;s first family.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I had absolutely no reservations at all, and I don&rsquo;t get involved in politics. I&rsquo;m an artist, and I genuinely admire Lara&rsquo;s art and her voice,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We were brought together by the song &mdash; and even if she weren&rsquo;t from the Trump family, I still would have made this song with her.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The single was produced by LJ Fino and his First Class Label Group. He believes much of the mainstream music industry has overlooked the &ldquo;America First&rdquo; audience.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Lara has a big year ahead with a collaborative EP featuring major global artists, including her record with Mohamed, and released in conjunction with Warner Music Group, followed by her debut album &ldquo;Just Lara&rdquo; arriving in late 2026,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-davos-man\">Davos man<\/h2>\n<p>Trump looked and sounded exhausted when he addressed the audience at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday morning. But then, who wouldn&rsquo;t be after a plane malfunction delayed an overnight flight by three hours? Even so, he couldn&rsquo;t resist ad-libbing and cracking jokes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Would you like me to say a few words about Greenland?&rdquo; he deadpanned. It&rsquo;s fair to say the ensuing laughter could be described as &ldquo;nervous.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4427178\/trump-davos-greenland-military-force\/\"><strong>Read more about his Davos speech HERE.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-chief-breaks-trump-truce\">AI chief breaks Trump truce<\/h2>\n<p>It&rsquo;s been barely a month since Dario Amodei, the chief executive of artificial intelligence giant Anthropic, embarked on a relationship-rebuilding tour of Washington.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It came after David Sacks, the president&rsquo;s AI czar, attacked Anthropic for its left-wing, anti-Trump bias.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to a now-deleted 2024 X post that compared the president with a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-ai-vendor-pick-anthropic-faces-scrutiny-over-democratic-ties\/\" title=\"...

He met with Trump officials and senators to assure them that they were very much on the same side, wanting the United States to win the race to dominate AI, even if he would like tighter regulation.<\/p>\n<p>So maybe the thin, mountain air at the World Economic Forum in Davos got to him yesterday. The president launched an attack on his officials&rsquo; decision to allow U.S. firms such as Nvidia to sell advanced chips to China.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think this is crazy,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a bit like selling nuclear weapons to North Korea.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>His truce went about as well as <em>Secrets<\/em>&lsquo;s dry January.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-whiff-of-cigarettes\">The whiff of cigarettes<\/h2>\n<p>A year ago, the president and his administration were relaxed about the United Kingdom&rsquo;s decision to give up the Chagos Islands, which are home to a U.S. military base, and sign them over to Mauritius. In fact, the president frequently sounded as if he had never heard of the specks of rock in the middle of the Indian Ocean when the subject came up.<\/p>\n<p>So why did he suddenly unload on his pal, Sir Keir Starmer, U.K. prime minister, on Monday night, calling it an &ldquo;act of great stupidity?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It marked a huge U-turn. American officials backed the deal, which included a 99-year lease for the base on Diego Garcia.<\/p>\n<p><em>Secrets <\/em>immediately detected the whiff of stale cigarettes.
