What we found

Supports. Trump told reporters at the Oval Office that Flock cameras were 'being studied right now' and that 'we'll have an answer soon, as to our views on it, in the coming weeks,' according to reports dated August 17–18, 2026.[1][2]

Context. Trump later expressed support for Flock cameras on September 14, 2026, aboard Air Force One, which is after the claim date and does not affect whether he was preparing a judgment on August 18.[3][4][5]
