Who is the president doing the Naval war with Tripoli?

The president during the First Barbary War, often referred to as the Naval War with Tripoli, was Thomas Jefferson. He served from 1801 to 1809 and is notable for his decision to deploy the U.S. Navy to combat piracy and protect American shipping interests in the Mediterranean. The conflict arose from the demands for tribute by the Barbary states, including Tripoli, which Jefferson refused to continue paying.
