Trump:

China is strong, but we’re militarily stronger.

Israel continues exploring new ways to defend against FPV drones, with protective nets now appearing over vehicle parking areas frequently targeted by Hezbollah strikes.

Netanyahu is now showing off his football skills.

Prof. Nathalie Tocci | European Foreign Policy Expert | Johns Hopkins SAIS, Europe:
 

The threat of America invading Europe is very serious - and Denmark agrees.

Danish authorities don't consider the threat over. They believe Trump is obsessed with owning Greenland - and that it has little to do with Arctic security.
 
Every time Copenhagen or Nuuk propose cooperation on critical minerals, sea routes or Arctic security, Trump shows no real interest.

He wants Greenland for some sort of weird imperial obsession.

Denmark takes this so seriously that real plans have been developed - for how Denmark & other European countries would respond to an actual military attack.
 
This should not be taken lightly simply because it's Trump. It is a very serious threat to the sovereignty & independence of a European country - the same thing already happening to Ukraine at the hands of Russia.

FULL INTERVIEW

Senator Graham blasts Hegseth and Caine:

I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw them. If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan bases to protect Iranian military assets, that tells me we should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate.

No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere!

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Syria used to be a place of civil war, a cradle for terrorism, and a threat to all of the neighboring countries.

Now, alhamdulillah, it’s all gone. Syria is a stable country posing no threat to anybody, and all the refugees are coming back.

This is a big success.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

I want to make it very clear that Israel’s actions in Syria should not first be presented or identified within the perspective of Turkish security concerns.

It is violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of a nation-state called Syria, and it is occupying it. It is a major national security threat for Syria, just as it is a national security threat for Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza.

Therefore, I think all the Arab countries, the Muslim countries, the regional countries, the Europeans, and everybody else should come together and confront this policy.

French President Macron:

Whoever ignores Africa today is mistaken and is giving up on their own future.

Reporter: Are you reconsidering the Pakistanis as mediators?

Trump: No, they are great. The field marshal and the prime minister of Pakistan have been absolutely great.

Reporter: Would you send the National Guard or ICE to voting locations in November?

Trump: I would do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections.

Trump:

I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations. I don’t think about anybody.

I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.

Trump:

Iran’s leaders will either do the right thing, or we will finish the job.

Reporter: Is there any understanding between you and Putin that Russia should get the entire Donbas?

Trump: No.

Trump:

We and China are the two superpowers of the world.

Trump:

We have Iran very much under control.

We are either going to make a deal, or they will be decimated. One way or the other, we win.

Trump:

Every American understands that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

If the stock market goes up or down a little bit, the American people understand.

Reporter: Do you think you might travel to Russia this year?

Trump: I will do whatever is necessary.

Trump:

You will see the golden age of America when this war ends, and you are seeing it now.

Trump: We have a ballroom that’s under budget. It’s going up right here. I’ve doubled the size of it because we obviously need that.

Reporter: The price doubled.

Trump: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person.

Reporter: Inflation is now at its highest level in 3 years. Are your policies not working?

Trump: My policies are working incredibly. If you go back to just before the war, inflation was at 1.7%. If you want to let these lunatics have a nuclear weapon, then you’re a stupid person, and you happen to be I know you very well.
