He's like, "Mike, I love that idea!"

Trump on Iran:

They want to make a deal. We'll find out about that.

Negotiations are going fine, but they're not very reliable, I will tell you.

They make a deal and then they back out. They want to make a deal. We'll see if they make a deal.

Trump on Iran:

We still have to take care of, I would say, one or two sites, but we can do that in 10 minutes.

Ten minutes. So we have that plan.

Trump on Flávio Bolsonaro:

No plans to meet, but I think he got treated very shabbily. Very shabbily.

So he can stay here as long as he wants.

The election was a disgrace.

The war between Ukraine and Russia has caused enormous damage to the global economy.

For a long time, everyone, particularly European countries, tried to conceal its economic and social costs. But now, it is having a major impact on political governments in European capitals and elsewhere.

With the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, this impact has been multiplied, taking it to a much more serious level.
