“If all people abandon you, we, your women, are by your side.”

Trump:

Elon Musk on Ukraine:

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Q: What hurt you most during the campaign?

Ben-Gvir: That Netanyahu didn't want to be photographed with me.

Q: You were really hurt?

Ben-Gvir: Yes. I have quite a few feelings.

Netanyahu:

They have been trying to impose sanctions on us for three years, and we have blocked every single attempt.

We have done so through countermeasures, for example against Britain, when we closed its consulate in Jerusalem, and by bringing back countries that had left us, such as Colombia or Slovenia.

We have other means. Cryptocurrency is one of those means. It is not the only one, and it is not certain that we will use it.

Trump:

You ought to look at the real corruption—Democrat corruption. And that includes Jeffrey Epstein.

Reporter: Have you spoken to Elon Musk about the Ukraine situation?

Reporter: Can you tell us about that?

Trump: No, I can't.

Trump:

I won in 2022, but it didn't work out that way. It was a rigged election—I won by millions of votes.
