Trump:

I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax.

The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form.

Hungary's Orban:

I just got off the phone with President Trump.

Preparations for the USA-Russia peace summit are underway.

Hungary is the island of PEACE!

Zelensky arrives in the US.

He will meet with Trump tomorrow.

Zelensky:

Putin is certainly not braver than Hamas or any other terrorist.

The language of strength and justice will definitely work against Russia as well.

We already see that Moscow is rushing to renew dialogue just upon hearing about "Tomahawks."

No Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will be allowed at Villa Park for Aston Villa’s Europa League match on November 6 after authorities deemed the fixture “high risk.”

We just had a call with Putin. I thought it was a very good call.

Trump on Gaza:

It is a tough neighborhood, we know that.

If Hamas behaves, good, we will take care of it if they don't.

Trump:

We won't go into Gaza. There are people very close that will go in.

Reporter: Do you have a timeline for the Putin meeting?

Trump: Within two weeks or so, pretty quick.

Trump:

I don't think any President has ever ended a war. I did eight.

Did Bush or Biden ever ended a war? Biden started wars.

Because he was stupid.

Trump:

We need Tomahawks — the United States has a lot, but we need them. We can’t deplete for our country.

We need them, too.

Trump:

Europe wants to end the war in Ukraine, but they are unable to do it.

I am able to do it. I think we will be succesful.

Reporter: Did Putin try to stop you from selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine?

Trump: Of course, what do you think? Is he going to say "please sell those Tomahawks, I really appreciate it?"

Trump:

I said to Putin: "would you mind if I gave a couple of thousand Tomahawks to your opposition? "

He didn’t like the idea.
