President Donald Trump's cell phone interrupted his executive order signing in the Oval Office Friday as he met with business executives from the nuclear industry.
"Oh, it's a phone call. Do you mind?" Trump quipped as those in the room laughed.
Trump picked up the phone and joked, "Just a congressman!"

Several seconds later, the phone rang again, causing Trump to look at the screen for a second time and say, "Another congressman! They're congratulating us!"
Trump didn't explain what he meant by congratulations -- if it was for passage of his "big, beautiful bill," or Friday's announcement that he was putting a 50% tariff on the European Union and a 25% tariff on Apple iPhones not made in the United States.
One reporter asked, "Is that an iPhone, sir?" prompting Trump to answer, "Yeah, lucky it is!"
