Trump on Russia:

Russia didn't give oil to us. They gave it to the world.

That was a very good thing.

Elon Musk on Ukraine:

We should some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes.

NEW: The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh warns American citizens of potential attacks on Saudi airports after Houthi missile and drone strikes, saying hostilities “have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area.”

WATCH: Colombian rapper Chelo Hop stomped on an Israeli flag and chanted “Free Palestine” at the end of her set at the Hip Hop al Parque festival in Bogotá.

Several hundred young protesters briefly forced their way into Rome’s Colosseum on Saturday during nationwide demonstrations in Italy against the cost of living, Giorgia Meloni’s government and the war in Gaza.

The group broke away from a larger authorized march, pushed past the gates and entered the ancient amphitheater for a few minutes while tourists were still inside, many waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans.

Police and site staff quickly cleared them, and Italy’s Culture Ministry said there was no damage to the monument and no injuries.

The protests, organized by student groups and a newly formed “October 17 Movement,” took place in Rome, Turin, Bologna, Milan and other cities, echoing recent unrest in France.

Trump:

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed wants our Country to go to Sharia Law.

If it ever does, he should be the first that’s tried!

Trump:

FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas.

These American Patriots are being absolutely “blurred out” by the Media, and Fox is doing little to help.

That’s the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close.

Nicki Minaj flew aboard Air Force One with Trump to a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.

The rapper posted a video from the cabin with the hashtag #AirForceOneBARBIE.

Minaj has publicly backed Trump for months, calling herself his “No. 1 fan” earlier this year and urging young voters to “vote red.”

Journalist Jasper Nathaniel posted footage he said shows an Israeli army sniper aiming a laser at a car carrying clearly marked journalists in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung jokingly floated Nicki Minaj as the next White House press secretary after interviewing her aboard Air Force One.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!” Cheung wrote alongside a video of the interview, to which Minaj replied with a U.S. flag and laughing emoji.

Marco Rubio:

The conditions allowing for the safe return of Ms. Machado to Venezuela is the direct result of the U.S. supported reconciliation talks which has already seen hundreds of political prisoners freed and hundreds of political opposition figures return from exile.

The United States expects the freedoms of all sectors of Venezuelan politics to continue to be respected.

Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.

Europe is backtracking on its 2035 EV-only future.

Germany wants to save combustion engines.

France wants cars built in Europe.

And China is at the center of it all.

After years of pushing electric vehicles, Europe is shifting its focus from climate to protecting its car industry.

Serbia is recording its highest voter turnout in years in Sunday’s snap parliamentary election, seen as the biggest challenge yet to Aleksandar Vučić’s more than decade-long grip on power.

Election monitor CRTA put turnout at 67.8% by 7 p.m., compared with 55.5% at the same point in the 2023 election, with long queues reported across the country and at polling stations abroad.

Analysts say high turnout favors the student-backed Student List, which grew out of nearly two years of protests sparked by the deadly November 2024 canopy collapse at Novi Sad’s railway station.

Vučić has said he would accept defeat, with first results expected later tonight.

Netanyahu on Europe:

I see things in Israel that I don't see in Europe, which is increasingly falling behind.

I see modern infrastructure here. I see cranes everywhere.

Netanyahu:

These days, because of the rise of the left in Europe, many entrepreneurs, businesspeople and companies are leaving for more business-friendly countries.

People are fleeing closed economies for open economies like ours.

Europe is losing a valuable workforce, and Israel must become one of the leading destinations for those investors and entrepreneurs.

Netanyahu:

Today electricity prices around the world have skyrocketed, in some countries by hundreds of percent.

That has not happened here.

We understand economics here.

Zelensky:

Ukraine will demand that Russia halt strikes on energy infrastructure and shipping in any negotiations, but will not agree to limits on its army, neutrality or ceding territory.

The Black Sea has become the world’s deadliest shipping route for merchant sailors, with more than 570 vessels struck and at least 40 seafarers killed this year.

The death toll exceeds the 24 sailors killed in the Strait of Hormuz over the same period.

Attacks surged in the third quarter, with about 387 ships hit between July and September, more than four a day, after Ukraine launched a campaign against Russian-linked vessels and Russia stepped up strikes on ships calling at Ukrainian ports.

Ambrey estimates Russia has been responsible for around 90% of attacks on shipping over the past 45 days, using drones, explosive-laden sea drones and missiles.

The strikes have spread into the waters of NATO members Romania and Bulgaria, where the Comoros-flagged Khoryv capsized after a drone strike off Constanța on Friday, killing one sailor and leaving three missing.

Greater Odesa ports handled fewer than 10 ships last month compared with about 400 in July, as shipowners describe calls at Ukrainian ports as “near suicidal” and war-risk insurance premiums soar.

The spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards mocked a visit to the Strait of Hormuz by U.S. Central Command Chief Adm. Brad Cooper, posting an image of a uniformed U.S. service member looking out of a helicopter at a burning oil tanker.

“THIS IS THE REALITY,” the IRGC spokesperson wrote, with the image captioned “Brent crude: $117 a barrel.”

Zelensky:

Ukraine needs €115 billion for 2027.

Of that amount, €45 billion has already been allocated but has yet to be received.

Another €70 billion still needs to be found to cover defense and budget financing.
