We are at the heart of Europe.

If Europe is torn apart, Germany is torn apart.

A divide has opened up between Europe and the United States, and Vice President JD Vance said this very openly here at the Munich Security Conference a year ago, and he was right.

The battle of cultures of MAGA in the U.S. is not ours.

Freedom of speech here ends where the words spoken are directed against human dignity and our Basic Law.

We do not believe in tariffs and protectionism, but in free trade.

In the era of great power rivalry, even the United States will not be powerful enough to go it alone.

NATO is not only Europe's competitive advantage, but also the United States' competitive advantage.

So, let’s repair the transatlantic trust together.

Denmark knows that it can rely on European solidarity.

There is no limitation to that.

We reach out to new partners with whom we share not all but many objectives.

Canada, Japan, Turkey, India, and Brazil will play a key role in this, as do South Africa, the Gulf states, and others.

We want to work more closely together with these states on the basis of mutual respect and with stamina and determination.

We Germans know that a world in which might makes right would be a dark place.

Our country has gone down this path in the 20th century until the bitter and dreadful end.

Today, we embark on a different and better path.

2025 was about setting the table. 2026 is gonna be a banquet for the American people.

The economy is taking off.

Who gives a shit who owns Greenland?

I don't.

With President Trump's leadership, we are going to “reform” the UN to get it fit for purpose and back to basics.

He will do for the UN what he has done for NATO in the last 10 years.

If we have to reform multilateralism that hasn't been reformed, frankly, in 80 years, then I think that should be welcomed by the world.

Highly Respected Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, is a strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results.

He fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America.

Viktor works hard to Protect Hungary, Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Promote Trade, Stop Illegal Immigration, and Ensure LAW AND ORDER!

Relations between Hungary and the United States have reached new heights of cooperation and achievement under my Administration, thanks largely to Prime Minister Orbán.

I look forward to continuing working closely with him so that both of our Countries can advance this path to SUCCESS and cooperation.

I was proud to ENDORSE Viktor for Re-Election in 2022, and am honored to do so again.

Viktor Orbán is a true friend and fighter, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Hungary — HE WILL NEVER LET THE GREAT PEOPLE OF HUNGARY DOWN!

Donald Trump is temporary. He will be gone in three years.

I met with Crown Prince of Iran in exile Reza Pahlavi in Munich. Ukraine supports the Iranian people in their struggle for their future, and we sympathize with all victims of the Iranian regime.

During the conversation, attention was paid to the situation in Iran, the areas where the people of Iran need support. We discussed the importance of strengthening sanctions against the Iranian regime and any other dictatorial regimes.

We condemned the cooperation between Russia and Iran, in particular the supply of "martyrs" (Geran-2 drones) to Russia by the Iranian regime and the transfer of licenses for relevant production. Such a partnership poses a real threat not only to Ukraine, but also to the entire region.

Thank you, Prince of Iran, for your support of Ukraine's territorial integrity. It is important to make every effort to protect human lives. Ukraine is ready to help from its side.

Use economic force… there are ways that could cripple their economy.

Some of that has been in the works.

It’s not about a threat from war… it’s about just make their economy, weaken their economy.

They do have because they do have support in the rural areas and the more conservative imams and all the rest of that.

But we have to make them feel the pain as well.

We are looking at a Prime Minister for Iraq.

We have some ideas on it.

In the end, everybody needs us.
