Trump on Iran:

They would like to negotiate, we are negotiating with them right now.

Trump on Ukraine:

The pause was for Sunday to Sunday.

It opened up and Putin hit them hard right now.

Putin kept his word on that. One week is a lot, we will take anything.

Trump:

If a state can't run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it.

Trump:

A reporter named Wolff and Epstein conspired. This just came out yesterday along with millions of pages of documents—it’s crazy.

They conspired against me in order to fight like hell to make sure I lose the election. That's the only thing that was mentioned about me.

Trump on Epstein:

I'll be honest with you: you've got to get back to running the country, too.

It's really a Democrat problem; it's not a Republican problem.

Trump to CNN reporter:

You're a 'worst reporter.' CNN has no ratings because of people like you.

I've known you for 10 years, and I don't think I've ever seen you smile. Why are you not smiling? It's because you're not telling the truth.

You are a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.

Bret Baier: Are you still convinced that Epstein killed himself?

FBI Director Kash Patel: Yes. 100%.

German police arrested two port workers (a 37-year-old Romanian and a 54-year-old Greek) accused of trying to sabotage German Navy corvettes at the Port of Hamburg in 2025.

They allegedly:
— dumped abrasive material into engines,
— damaged water and fuel systems,
— disabled electronics on multiple ships (including the corvette Emden).

Arrests happened in Hamburg and northern Greece, with help from Greek, Romanian, and EU (Eurojust) authorities.

The damage was discovered before ships were seriously harmed.

Motive is unknown.
