JD Vance:

Neither Europe, nor the US, nor Ukraine can continue the conflict with Russia, now it is important to sit down at the negotiating table.

Zelensky:

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.

We remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas:

The Palestinian Authority will resume role in Gaza under Egypt's plan.

Zelensky:

My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

Zelensky:

The first stages of the truce could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.

Canadian province of Ontario will issue 25% export tax on electricity to the US.

Trudeau:

If US tariffs persist, Canada will also look at non-tariff measures.

Trudeau on Trump's tariffs:

There is absolutely no justification or need for these.

Justin Trudeau:

US launched a trade war against Canada.

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods.

Our tariffs will remain in place until the US tariffs are withdrawn.

Win for Trump: BlackRock will acquire two major Panama Canal ports from Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison, following U.S. pressure over alleged Chinese influence.

Trudeau on the Trump Administration:

They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense.

Canada's Trudeau on Trump's tariffs:

Donald, you're a very smart guy.

But this is a very dumb thing to do.

Justin Trudeau:

US tariffs are not about fentanyl, that is a legal pretext.

It is not very clear what Trump wants.

Trudeau to Americans:

Your government has chosen to do this to you.

Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk.

They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items.

Canada's Trudeau:

We will never be part of the United States.

What Trump wants is to destroy our economy to impose annexation on us.

Kremlin foreign-policy aide Ushakov:

Representatives of Russia and the United States in Riyadh have agreed to hold separate talks on the situation around Iran.

Canada's Trudeau makes it clear to everyone:

The United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
