US National Security Advisor Waltz:

The United States will unleash holy hell on the cartels.

Trump:

Treasury Secretary’s trip to Kyiv was a wasted trip.

Zelensky makes it very hard to make deals.

Trump on Zelensky:

I don't think he's very important to be at meetings.

Trump:

Biden and Zelensky said the wrong things.

Russia could have been talked out of that so easily.

Zelensky did such a bad job in negotiating so far.

Trump:

Putin wants to make a deal but he doesn't have to make a deal, because if he wanted, he'd get the whole country.

I'm not trying to make Putin like nicer or better.

Trump:

Zelensky has no cards up his sleeve for negotiations with Russia.

Trump:

My plan on Gaza is good, but I am not imposing it and will only recommend it.

Trump:

I was surprised that Jordan and Egypt did not welcome the plan I proposed regarding Gaza, while we provide them with billions of dollars annually.

Trump:

Gaza is currently uninhabitable and if given a choice, its residents will leave.

Gaza Strip has a great location and I wonder why Israel abandoned it.

Trump:

According to my plan; The United States will own Gaza, there will be no Hamas and we will start developing it.

“It’s a sh*t sandwich,” admitted a Trump official.

“But Ukraine has to eat it—[Trump] made it clear this isn’t our problem anymore.”

Trump:

Zelensky is not important enough to attend the meetings.

U.S. drone strike targeted a single vehicle in Idlib, Syria, reportedly using a Hellfire R9X missile, known for its kinetic warhead and deployable blades—evident from the impact marks.

The strike reportedly targeted a high-ranking member of Hurras al-Din group.

Trump:

Ukraine has no cards to play!

“Betrayed. First Zelensky, Soon Us?”

The headline of today’s cover of Der Spiegel, one of Germany’s most renowned weekly magazines.

Trump says he doesn’t blame Russia for the Ukraine war, instead blames Zelensky and Biden.

Trump:

Putin doesn’t have to make a deal; if he wanted, he could take all of Ukraine.

Honestly, it gets exhausting. Even my patience has run out.

US Secretary of State Rubio:

JD Vance and I sat down with Zelensky and he left the meeting and started lying about what transpired.

Trump: Zelensky had the most beautiful cities, and now they’re all destroyed.

Host: But that’s Putin’s fault, wouldn’t you agree?

Trump: I’m tired of hearing that, I’ll tell you that much.

Host: Isn’t Putin to blame?

Trump: *ignores the question*

Asked about Germany seeking France’s nuclear protection, likely next German Chancellor Merz noted Macron’s repeated offers, which past German governments left unanswered.

“We must discuss with the U.K. and France—Europe’s nuclear powers—whether nuclear sharing or security could extend to us.”
