Reporter: Did you talk about elections with the President of Venezuela?

Trump: I did. By the way, she was very nice, very terrific. Venezuela is making a lot of money now for its people, really a great thing.

Trump on AI:

I would rather not integrate because we're leading by a lot. When you're leading, you don't open it up to each other.

Reporter: Did you talk to Zelensky about Patriot missiles?

Trump: I did. I spoke to him a lot, and he's going along, and Putin's going along.

Someday, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, maybe before the heavy winter, they'll make a deal.

Trump on AI:

Super Intelligence, SI. I don't call it AI anymore. I call it SI because it's a much better name.

It's a much more accurate name because when you say the other, it means it's fake. Artificial means it's fake, and it's not fake. It's very strong intelligence.

I think a lot of people are doing that now. I call it SI.

NEW: Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov met Germany's Foreign Minister on UNGA sidelines.

This is the first such meeting in 4.5 years (last was January 2022, weeks before the invasion).

Spokeswoman Zakharova said Germany requested the meeting.

Karoline Leavitt on Keir Starmer:

We were in the UK, enjoying lunch with Keir Starmer, when Trump suddenly started ripping into him over his policies.

Trump said: “Your policies here are so stupid. You need to close your borders. You need to deport these people you have in your country. I know your people. They hate what you’re doing.”

Starmer was just sitting there. This was in Starmer’s own house, in his own country. We’re not even at the White House. We’re not even on our own territory.

Of course, I found it entertaining.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov holds talks with German Foreign Minister Wadephul.

U.S. negotiators told Iran during Tuesday’s talks that Tehran does not control the Strait of Hormuz and therefore cannot make demands over its reopening.

Foreign ministers of Germany and Russia meet for the first time in years.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

We insist that Maduro and his wife be liberated immediately.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

We insist that the U.S. lift its siege on Cuba and lift all restrictions on trade with Cuba.

Israel votes next month.

But its two main Arab-led lists may not be on the ballot.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Serbia is basically being forced to impose sanctions against Russia in exchange for prospects of eurointegration.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Europe is doing everything it can to thwart peace talks in which the Trump administration is interested in.

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

The objectives of our "special military operation" will be achieved and threats to our security will be eliminated.

Peace will reign again. This will happen despite anything that might happen.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Israel:

The oppression and massacres carried out by Israel are no longer going without consequences to the same extent, as a result of the diplomatic efforts that have been made. In other words, Israel now has to pay very heavy costs for every action it takes.

This isolation, including facing legal consequences through institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, means it is encountering situations it has never been accustomed to or faced before.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: (Secretariat for Mecca Alliance)

Our Pakistani brothers put forward a candidate. Most likely, this Secretary General candidate will be appointed by the member countries, by us.

I believe that following the Secretary-General taking office, the work on making appointments to the other positions will be brought to completion.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Saudi Arabia:

The attacks from both the south by the Houthis and from the north — we made general political assessments regarding what these situations are about.

Yesterday, as you know, in Riyadh, there was a military technical assessment and meeting that our Chief of Staff also attended. I spoke with him today as well.

Our work related to military tactical matters continues well. We are pleased with the current work on this matter.

God willing, we will continue our efforts to provide a more peaceful environment, free of further conflict.

Iran's Assembly of Experts member reveals Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was pulled from rubble after hospital bombing.

Ayatollah Mohsen Heydari said Khamenei was wounded in the attack, and after it became known he was hospitalized, three Tehran hospitals were struck.

He was in the third hospital and was extracted from under the debris.

Zelensky:

Obviously, the Russians are not preparing to stop the war. At least not now. Putin constantly finds some kind of excuse not to meet, not to hold a trilateral format, not to talk, and not to end or stop these killings.

Russia needs to develop a desire to spend money not on death, but on something else — to develop a desire there to end this war.

In the coming days and in October, there will be a lot of diplomatic activity aimed at changing the situation. But in addition to this, the Lindsey Graham law and other mechanisms of pressure — all of this needs to be put into action even more.
