Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev:

We will continue, because it's not just uranium that is supplied to the United States. We need to supply more fertilizers, aluminum and rare earth metals.

Our list of projects being discussed with the American side also includes various projects in the Arctic, energy projects, LNG projects and other areas.

Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev:

More and more Americans, including within the administration, understand that sanctions harm the United States itself.

I can confirm today's news that the U.S. Treasury Department asked the Russian Direct Investment Fund to help with the diesel deal, including processing payments and resolving purely tactical issues related to the deal.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund will be involved specifically at the request of the U.S. Treasury Department.

Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev:

We see that the Graham Act undoubtedly harms joint Russian-American projects and harms the role of Russia and the United States in restoring energy markets and working in global markets.

And we see that this law, which is supposed to come into force within the next two days, is increasingly being recognized in the United States as the wrong law.

Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev:

What is important is that this hostility, this criticism of any deal between Russia and the United States, has finally begun to have very significant consequences.

We see that the hostility from the Ukrainian side has effectively and significantly worsened relations between Ukraine and the United States.

We see President Trump's reaction to this criticism.

Hillary Clinton:

People ask me all the time, are we going to be able to rebuild and repair the damage? I hope so, but it's going to take time because a lot of people feel that they've been let down, maybe even lied to from time to time.

And that's not just a problem of our government. That's really a national problem.

We have to restore our trustworthiness in order to restore our leadership.

Hillary Clinton:

I want to see the right people in the room again making the hard decisions. Nobody makes the right decisions all the time.

We approach it with the idea that we're putting our country first. We're putting the people first.

We're not putting our personal financial interests first. We're not putting our partisan political interests first.

Zelensky:

At a time when Russia has launched massive attacks on our energy infrastructure, America has unfortunately decided to completely ignore the Lindsey Graham Act, which was meant to pressure Russia to end the war.

We must not give up and must strive to end the war.

End it, not give Putin every reason to continue it indefinitely.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

The coming period, 2030, will be the end of my term as head of state, if I live that long.

This is completely settled and will not be discussed.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

If our brothers in the Gulf had not stood by Egypt in 2013, I don't know what would have happened.

Ships carrying oil, gas, cooking gas and wheat were arriving without any charge.

I will not be ashamed or embarrassed to thank and appreciate our brothers in the Gulf: Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

We are not looking for a role to play, but it is absolutely unacceptable for us to hear that Saudi Arabia or its security or stability is being harmed.

Egypt, in accordance with the directives of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will take whatever measures are necessary to protect and defend you.

I hope the Egyptian parliament will hold an emergency session to approve this if we are asked to act.

Egyptian President el-Sisi on leaving office by 2030:

I’m saying this more than 40 months in advance so that no one can claim I’m preparing someone from my family or relatives to take over.

No, no, no. Nothing like that. This is a very big country, and such things cannot happen here.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

We will not leave the Egyptian state without ensuring that it is full of capable people who can assume responsibility.

The Military Academy will now have another role: preparing another generation of leaders who will take responsibility for leading the Egyptian state.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

From now until 2030, we have approximately 43 months left.

We are talking about 30 months of preparation for people holding doctorates, whether from prestigious Egyptian universities or prestigious foreign universities.

A comprehensive mechanism will be established, overseen by the speaker of the Egyptian parliament, together with a group of trusted intellectuals, politicians, the minister of higher education and the minister of justice.

Whether there are 200, 300, 500 or 1,000 of them, they will spend 30 months here at the Academy learning what a state is, what its capabilities and resources are, and how to preserve them.

The Egyptian people will then have the opportunity to elect and choose from among this elite.

Egyptian President el-Sisi:

No ill-intentioned person, traitor or criminal will assume responsibility, in accordance with the constitutional provision I read.

We will not allow our country to be handed over to such people.

Canada's Carney on Brexit and Alberta separatism:

What that referendum decision guaranteed and delivered was profound uncertainty and a UK economy which is much poorer, with many fewer options, much more divided than it was prior to it.

It is a dangerous bluff. This is not poker. This is the future of our province. It's the future of our country.

Prominent Israeli rabbi Dov Lior issued a religious ruling allowing Israeli "settlers" to take olives from Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, claiming that the land belongs to Jews and that harvesting the olives demonstrates Jewish ownership.

Lior argued that Palestinians have no ownership rights over the land or its crops, even in areas far from Israeli settlements.

Canada's Carney:

We trade more with the U.S. than elsewhere. A number of our other relationships, some of our defense relationships, technology relationships, have a high degree of integration with the United States.

That creates real leverage over Canada. And in some cases, the United States administration has either used that leverage or threatened to use that leverage.

Canada's Carney:

If they're ready to move, we'll move. We're not playing clever here.

Look, life's too short to play around other countries' political timing.

We're ready to do a deal if the U.S. is going to negotiate in good faith.

Canada's Carney:

We've got to take care of ourselves, and we always take care of each other. That's what we are as Canadians. We stand up for ourselves.

Where else in the world can I trade? Instead of going north-south, why don't I go east and why don't I go west and build more independence, more options for myself as a business?
