Trump on Ukraine War:

The night before the Ukraine War started, they had the heaviest rainfall they had in 10 years.

The land was soaking wet.

Q: For a peace deal to happen in Ukraine, that means Zelensky and Putin will have to be in the same room at the same time to sign that agreement?

Trump: I guess they can do it another way. It’s hard for them to be in the same room.

I don’t care how it’s done.

Donald Trump Jr. privately opposes his father’s war with Iran, believing it betrays Trump’s promise to avoid new Middle East conflicts.

He has reportedly expressed his concerns directly to his father but refuses to criticize him publicly.

Hegseth on Ukraine:

We haven’t changed our posture in any way toward the Ukrainians.

But certainly, with things like interceptors, we want to make sure our guys have the most possible as well.

And President Zelensky knows that.

Hegseth on Ukraine:

Ukraine has had a heroic effort, and there’s been a great deal of contributions.

In fact, so much so under the previous administration that they emptied stockpiles.

Reporter: You said the U.S. policy on Ukraine hasn’t changed. Does that include Starshield coverage?

Hegseth: We haven’t pulled anything back.

There are terms of service that ultimately need to be complied with, and that’s where Starlink has the option to make those decisions.

But nothing’s changed from our view. We haven’t made any directives or anything like that.

Hegseth to Ukraine:

We wish the Ukrainians, obviously, success.

Netanyahu on Trump:

President Trump is a once-in-a-century phenomenon.

The partnership between us is something that has never existed since the establishment of the state, nearly 80 years ago.

Netanyahu:

Some compare the partnership between Trump and me to the one between Roosevelt and Churchill. I do not presume to be Churchill.

But I say there is a partnership here, there is an opportunity.

Just as the Nazi regime was destroyed, we can destroy this neo-Nazi regime in Iran.

Netanyahu:

We have indications that, in order to influence the elections, they may initiate some kind of operation in the coming days, on the eve of the elections, in various arenas.

We have received intelligence about this from the Mossad and the military, and we are preparing for it.

Ukraine doesn’t control the internet its army runs on.

A week later, the Starlink limit is still there, and no one owns it.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

We have some of the lowest fuel prices in the European Union, although of course they are still devilishly expensive for ordinary people. I am aware of that.

Yes, Donald is responsible for this. We have no doubt. But your hero, not the Polish prime minister.

You know perfectly well who is responsible for fuel prices.

Serbia's Vučić on Putin:

Putin said, "Well, if you want to join NATO, okay. But I don't think that's good for the Serbian people. Of course, the government can do whatever it wants, but the people will remain our friends."

He spoke like that for perhaps 20 or 30 minutes.

Then I said, "Wait, who told you we're going to join NATO?"

He said, "It's your choice. We respect your choice. We don't agree with it, but it's your choice."

Serbia's Vučić on Ukraine:

The Foreign Intelligence Service provided Putin with certain information because we do not export weapons to Ukraine.

But when we supply something to Africa, or through London, or through channels I don't know, those weapons are transferred to Ukraine.

This is actually quite common, because weapons don't necessarily end their journey at their original destination.

Serbia's Vučić on Putin:

President Putin has major goals ahead of him, and he won't abandon them until he achieves them.

When he achieves them, I'm sure he'll feel freer.

Serbia's Vučić on Ukraine:

What do you think Zelensky should have done?

How could he come out and say:

"You fought, guys. Now we're surrendering and giving up Donbas."

You have to put yourself in his shoes.

Protesters attacked and set fire to a police crowd-control truck in Bandung, Indonesia.

Students and civil society groups rallied over unemployment, prices, corruption and land issues.

Serbia's Vučić:

Why do many people think Vučić must go?

First, believe it or not, sanctions against Russia. That's absolutely number one.

It's even more important than my refusal to recognize Kosovo's independence.

The fact that we haven't imposed sanctions against Russia is something people bring up at every meeting I attend in Europe.

Serbia's Vučić:

I've spoken with many European leaders.

When I speak with them, they immediately start talking about relations with Russia.

Many have told me, "We need contact with Russia. What do you think? What is Putin thinking?"

I always answered that to achieve peace, you have to talk.

Serbia's Vučić:

A few months ago, a military alliance was formed between Pristina, Zagreb and Tirana.

Against whom did they create this military alliance?

Not Austria, Switzerland or Norway, but Serbia.

We understood that message and continued strengthening our army.
