The two leaders also reviewed steps aimed at increasing bilateral trade to $3 billion and exchanged views on regional and international developments.

Erdoğan reiterated Türkiye's support for Venezuela and emphasized Ankara's commitment to deepening ties across multiple sectors.

Under the agreement, Slovakia plans to procure combat protective helmets from Croatia, while offering cooperation in the areas of ammunition production and armored vehicles, opening a new phase of defense-industrial collaboration between the two countries.

The proposed deal has stalled not because of opposition from Dassault Aviation or Taiwan but due to political concerns in Paris.

The French government is reluctant to move forward with the sale out of concern for its diplomatic relationship with China.

Taiwan previously purchased 60 Mirage 2000-5 fighters from France in the 1990s, but those aircraft are now aging, driving Taipei's search for a modern replacement.

The Israelis and the United States have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge.

I think where President Trump has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the U.S. main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.

Over the last year and a half, we've created the space necessary where the president believes, and I think that he's right, that we can get a long-term settlement to Iran's nuclear deal.

Israel may like that. They may not like that. But fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America.

We're going to keep on pursuing it because that's what President Trump was elected to do.

Everybody's always trying to play everybody. One of the most important things to whether this ultimate settlement is a success is not what the Iranians write on the paper, but whether they actually comply with some of the requirements of the settlement that we come up to.

I don't assume that anybody's acting in good faith. Let's be honest, the Iranians don't want this war to continue. It's not in their best interest.

I think they're coming to the table, putting some real things on the table. We're, of course, going to verify it.

If we get to this deal, it's going to be a home run, a win for the American people.

Venezuela's oil exports have reached 1.25 million barrels per day, the highest level in seven years and a result of Secretary Rubio's and President Trump's three-phase plan.

The ongoing collaboration between the interim authorities and private investors is driving economic recovery and greater prosperity for both the American and Venezuelan people.

The investment follows President Trump's approval of Nippon Steel’s acquisition of U.S. Steel, which was conditioned on $11 billion in investments across the company’s U.S. operations.

The project will replace the Mon Valley hot-strip mill, which dates to 1938, and is expected to create up to 6,000 jobs, generate as much as $1.7 billion in economic activity, and increase annual sheet-steel production capacity from 2.2 million to 3.5 million tons.

Company executives said the upgrades will allow the facility to produce higher-value steel for automotive and pipeline applications, while helping secure the long-term future of one of the region’s oldest steelmaking operations.

Construction is expected to begin later this year and take about three years to complete.

I rebuilt the military in my first term, and we're using it a little bit in my second term.

I could say my third term, if you want to know the truth, but I don't want the results of the second term, because that second term under the Biden administration was a horror show for our country.

The exercise involved Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force deploying the Kongo destroyer and an SH-60K helicopter alongside South Korea’s Cheon Ja Bong landing ship.

It marked the first such drill since 2017, after exercises were suspended following a 2018 dispute involving a South Korean naval vessel locking fire-control radar onto a Japanese patrol aircraft.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi described the resumption of joint training as the start of a “new chapter” in defense cooperation between the two countries.

Massie cited former officials who questioned the “mistaken identity” explanation, suggested the attack was intentional, and called for a new congressional investigation while survivors are still alive.
