Trump on why he doesn't call Putin a dictator:

I have to make deals with people, so I don’t go around calling them names. I’m a deal maker.

I’ve always been a very good deal maker. I became very rich because of deals. So I don’t go around mocking people.

Trump on Ukraine War:

Part of the reason you have the Ukraine War is because Biden ran around mocking Russia.

Trump on Iran:

Who are we dealing with in Iran? Nobody is exactly sure.

Netanyahu:

Gadi Eisenkot wanted to stop the Gaza War immediately. He wanted to stop it before we had even entered Rafah.

Q: Is regime change in Iran realistic before the Israeli elections?

Netanyahu: No, I don't think that's realistic.

Netanyahu on Iran:

I say it is essential to overthrow this regime.

We've done a great deal. We've crushed it. They're at the weakest point they've ever been.

But we need to finish the job.

Netanyahu:

I've dedicated my entire life to this.

I've spent a thousand hours on prime-time television in America.

Netanyahu:

Israel today is the strongest power.

And I can also tell you that our economy is booming at a level that's difficult to believe.

Marine Le Pen:

We can no longer finance Ukraine. So this funding will cease.

I think it is an act of honesty to tell President Zelensky this now, rather than lead him to believe that we could continue financing Ukraine indefinitely.

Look at France's budgetary situation. We simply no longer have the means. France is now in an extremely perilous situation.

Marine Le Pen:

The entire policy of pre-accession, support for Türkiye or development aid must come to an end.

Only sovereign nations should exercise these powers, including through cooperation within Europe.

Trump:

This is the biggest microphone I’ve ever seen. It’s the biggest. Good job, fellas.

Trump:

I called up the highly respected leader of Qatar, a young, handsome guy.

I told him, “If possible, I would love to be able to borrow or use your 747.”

Trump:

We’re respected by everyone. They respect us more than any other country anywhere in the world.

Trump on Elon Musk:

Elon is 80% super genius, and 20% he got a little problem. I always tell him.

He’s a great guy.

Trump on AI:

It’s super intelligence. Sometimes it may get too super. That’s what we have to watch. We have to watch.

NEW: U.S. intelligence officials warned the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington that if there are more strikes on Russian energy sites, the U.S. would immediately halt all intelligence sharing.

“The warnings were so widespread that anyone with a Ukrainian-sounding last name got a call,” a person familiar with the matter said.

Intelligence sharing has not been fully cut off, but the threat remains.

📸 Gaza: A 3-year-old girl watched her mother burn to death after an Israeli airstrike hit their apartment.

Maryam Ghanem was found on a bed surrounded by flames and heavy smoke in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, her mother Reem Asaad Awad, 33, burning nearby.

Maryam suffered burns and was treated at Al-Shifa Hospital.

Her father was already killed earlier in the war — her grandmother is now her only family.

Israel claimed the strike targeted a Hamas member but gave no evidence.

Trump:

Mexico’s president has a beautiful voice. I say to her, “Madam President, if I might, you have a beautiful voice.”

Trump:

I called up Google Maps about the Gulf of Mexico. I said, “Please do this.” They do what I say.

They changed it.

Trump on Canada:

They’ll end up being the 51st state because that’s the only way it works.

We don’t need them, but they need us.
