Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi:

I now sleep for about two to four hours, with four hours being on a long day.

So I think it's bad for my skin.

Trump issued an executive order rolling back many of his own “reciprocal” tariffs, removing duties on beef, coffee, and 100+ common food items to ease cost-of-living concerns.

SOUTHCOM:

On Nov. 10, at the direction of "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.

The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea and was struck in international waters.

4 male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.

Venezuelan President Maduro:

I speak now to the people of the United States: stop the reckless hand that orders bombings, killings, and the threat of war in South America and the Caribbean.

Stop the war—no to war! The people of the United States must play a crucial role in preventing a tragedy for all of the Americas.

Trump publicly broke with longtime ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “wacky” and a “ranting lunatic” on Truth Social and withdrawing his support.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump:

And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files.

It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.

Reporter: What did Jeffrey Epstein mean in his emails when he said you knew about “the girls”?

Trump: I know nothing about that.

Trump on Venezuela:

I sort of made up my mind… I can’t tell you what it would be.

Trump on the BBC:

We’ll sue them for anywhere between a billion and 5 billion dollars, probably sometime next week.

Trump on the Epstein Files:

This is a hoax put out by the Democrats and a couple of Republicans have gone along with it because they're weak and ineffective.

This is a Democrat hoax to get away from the fact that they just lost the shutdown and they lost the elections.

Trump on the Epstein Files:

If they had anything, they would have used it before the election.

I can't tell you what they put in since the election, but if they had anything, you don't think they would have used it before the election?

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Is it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well.

Reporter: You're meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince next week.

Trump: More than meeting, we're honoring Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince.

Mali: JNIM released footage showing its militants inside the Donzo militia headquarters they captured in Lolony, Sikasso region.

Trump on Epstein:

I was never in his island.

Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times.

Trump on Thailand and Cambodia:

I spoke to the Prime Ministers of both countries and they're doing great.

I think they’re going to be fine.

Trump on Saudi Arabia:

They want to buy a lot of F-35 jets, but they want to buy actually more than that fighter jet.

I'm looking at that.

Trump:

I hope that Saudi Arabia will be going into the Abraham Accords fairly shortly.

Senior Trump officials held three White House meetings this week to consider possible military operations in Venezuela.
