If we go try to do escorts — we have looked into that. That's a very challenging mission in that narrow strait when it's contested.

We're gonna have to get to a place where that strait is open with a generally accepted ceasefire before that can be turned on en masse.

Providing escort services through a contested strait will, in my military opinion, exceed the capacity of the Navy to do that effectively.

The Department of State said the Trump administration removed Albanese from the sanctions list only because of a recent court ruling, adding that the government has appealed the decision and still intends to place her back on the Specially Designated Nationals list over her work related to Palestine.

We have to be in dialogue, but we have to speak in a tone where we respect each other.

We must be at a level where we still have trust in each other. We don't have that at the moment.

It is also our responsibility to address when we think that something is not right.

I believe France should withdraw from NATO’s integrated military command.

NATO is a political military alliance. So that's the big difference with China or Russia, where one person in the end takes all the decisions.

We are a democratic alliance and a military alliance. And that means that decisions will always be informed by military and political considerations. That's how it works.

Some of our NATO allies’ responses to our operations in the Middle East are well documented, and they will have to be addressed.
