Trump:

I greatly respect the fact that all scheduled hangings, which were to take place yesterday (Over 800 of them), have been cancelled by the leadership of Iran.

Senator Graham:

I just landed in Israel, the one and only Jewish State, and America’s strongest ally and friend since its founding.

I look forward to meeting with our Israeli allies to see how we can build upon the momentum created by President Trump’s bold and unprecedented leadership in Iran, where he picked the people over the ayatollah. The people are right to demand an end to this regime.

We cannot allow this historic moment to pass – and I agree with President Trump. The downfall of the ayatollah and his regime would be on par with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Remember President Trump is not Obama. I believe he is Reagan Plus.

Trump:

NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland.

We are talking to NATO.

Reporter: Is help still on the way for the Iranian protesters?

Trump: We are going to see. Iran cancelled the hanging of over 800 people.

They were going to hang over 800 people yesterday, I greatly respect the fact that they cancelled that.

Reporter: What do you think about Carney signing a trade deal with China?

Trump: That is okay. That is what he should be doing. It is a good thing for him to sign a trade deal with China.

Reporter: Did Arab and Israeli officials convince you to not strike Iran?

Trump: Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself.

Reporter: Why would you want someone else's Nobel Prize?

Trump: She offered it to me. I thought it was very nice.

She is a very fine woman and we will be talking again.

Trump on The Insurrection Act:

I don't think there's any reason right now to use it. But if I needed it, I’d use it. It's very powerful.

Reporter: Why align with Delcy Rodríguez instead of Machado?

Trump: If you ever remember a place called Iraq where everybody was fired, every single person, the police, the generals, everybody was fired, and they ended up being ISIS.

Instead of just getting down to business, they ended up being ISIS, so I remember that.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

Allah has raised the status of reform and piety over that of belonging. For, by Allah, there is no preference for an Arab, nor a Kurd, nor a Turk, nor anyone else, except by the piety of Allah and the righteousness of the person, whoever their people may be.

O our Kurdish people, O descendants of Saladin: beware of believing the narrative that we want evil for our Kurdish people. For, by Allah, whoever touches you with harm is our opponent until the Day of Judgment. Your life is our life.

We desire nothing but the reform of the country and the people, development, reconstruction, and the unity of the country. Let no one miss out on their share of this good.

Today, I am honored to issue a special decree for our Kurdish people, guaranteeing their rights and some of their particularities by the text of the law.

I urge everyone who was forced to emigrate from their land to return safely and peacefully without condition or restriction, except for the laying down of weapons.

I call upon you for active participation in building this homeland and preserving its safety and unity, and that we reject everything other than that.

Trump on María Corina Machado:

She gave me her Nobel Prize. But I'll tell you what, I get to know her. I never met her before. And I was very, very impressed.

This is a fine woman.

Trump:

We spent what would be the equivalent of $5 trillion building the Panama Canal.

It was also the most successful thing probably we’ve ever built, and to this day.

And then Jimmy Carter gave it away for $1.

Venezuela’s Acting President, Delcy Rodríguez, meets with CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado:

For the first time in history we will have the Americas free of communism, dictatorship and narco-terrorism for the first time in history.

Imagine what this will mean to have these dictatorships finally gone in Venezuela, in Cuba, and Nicaragua.

This is equivalent to the fall of the Berlin Wall in the Americas.

María Corina Machado:

Delcy Rodríguez — yes, she’s a communist. She’s the main ally and representation of the Russian regime, the Chinese, and the Iranians. But that’s not the Venezuelan people, and that’s not the armed forces as well.

I am profoundly confident that we will have an orderly transition. This is a complex phase where right now some of the dirty work is being done by them.

But the result of a stable transition will be a proud Venezuela who’s going to be the best ally the United States has ever had in the Americas.

María Corina Machado:

We are absolutely grateful to President Trump, his administration, and the people of the United States. It took a lot of courage to do what he did.

He did it not only on behalf of the American people, but because he cares for the people of Venezuela.

María Corina Machado on her escape from Venezuela:

There was a certain moment in the trip in the boat where I was hurt. The waves were very high, over six feet, and there was a strong wind.

We got lost in the ocean. We lost the GPS, the satellite phone stopped working, and the Starlink antenna did not work — all at the same time.

It was a very risky, dangerous, and scary moment, and it lasted several hours. At the end, I believe it is a miracle that I am here.
