Spain’s Sanchez:

Spain has tripled its defense spending since I became prime minister. We are investing €34 billion a year in defense.

At the same time, we will not renounce public healthcare, public education, social cohesion, or development aid.

Security is not only weapons.

Security is scholarships for our children. Security is public hospitals for our elderly.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on AI:

Young people searching for jobs will find it harder to get a good placement.

The middle class is going to be squeezed.

This is my biggest worry: where are the guardrails?

Bessent: I think we almost reached a SNL moment a few years ago when it was “you’re not going to own anything, you’re going to eat insects.” I mean, it was just—the inmates were running the asylum at that point.

Dasha Burns: You’re not into the bugs?

Bessent: Well, I can tell you—after a few days of Swiss German food, I may switch to bugs.

Trump:

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha responds to Orban:

This plan is doomed to fail, Mr. Prime Minister. Your master in Moscow won’t last 100 years.

And on the day Ukraine joins the EU, we will frame this headline to remember your lies.

JD Vance on Greenland:

What keeps Russia or China from invading Greenland? Is it the power of Denmark? As much as I love Denmark, no, it's the power of the United States of America.

So the fact that we're implicitly protecting it means that we should share in the prosperity of it.

JD Vance on Greenland:

If some foreign country launches an ICBM to the United States of America, our entire missile defense system could be destabilized. If you don't control the Arctic, that means Americans are less safe.

And that is why we have this implicit protection over Greenland. It's absurd that it's taken people so long to realize that obvious fact.

JD Vance on European leaders:

They almost feel like they have to puff up their chest and posture symbolically in front of the President of the United States.

A lot of this is just politicians playing politician games. What I love about Trump is he kind of ignores that. He just goes on and goes about his business.

JD Vance on Europe:

People think that Trump, or that I, or that Rubio, hate Europe or have some problem with Europe. We don’t. We love Europe.

Why do we want Europe to control its borders? Because we love European civilization. We want it to preserve itself.

Why do we care about economic growth? Because they’re one of our most important allies in the world. We share a common civilizational heritage.

Why do we care about NATO? Because we want Europe to be able to defend itself if, God forbid, they were invaded.

We love Europe so much, we’re demanding that they do what their own leadership refuses to do, which is look after themselves and be smarter.

JD Vance on NATO:

Trump wants NATO to be stronger, but he wants it to be self-sufficient.

He doesn’t want NATO to be an American security umbrella where our troops have to go over there to fight to defend Europe.

He wants Europe to be self-sufficient, and I think that’s the right model.

JD Vance on Europe:

You can’t survive as a population if you’re doing third world mass migration that destabilizes your own country and makes it less safe.

If Europe goes down, it will be bad for America. So we’re going to look after our own country, protect our own borders, and encourage our European friends to do the same.

JD Vance on the U.S. military buildup near Iran:

We just want to make sure that we have options. We have a lot of forces in the region. We have people who could be endangered.

I think Trump just wanted to make sure that if, God forbid, the Iranians did something very stupid, that we had the resources necessary to respond.

Nigel Farage:

I think we’ve underutilized the amazing advantages we have across the rest of the world.

We turned our backs on India. We turned our backs on the Commonwealth countries.

In the seventies, we decided that Europe was our future. That became the foreign office and political priority over decades.

We’ve turned our backs on large parts of the world where there is still a remarkable relationship between those former colonies and ourselves.

So we need to think more globally in every way.

Nigel Farage on China:

They’ve become so big and to some extent we’ve become quite dependent upon them and not the other way around.

It’s a massive problem, but it’s not a relationship we should trust and we should be extremely cautious of them.

Argentina's Milei on Venezuela:

I think the plan designed by the U.S. administration is quite appropriate.

First comes stabilization, which is the current path; then reconstruction; and then the transition toward democracy.

It would not be possible to do it otherwise, stabilization needs to be done this way.

Argentina's Milei on Venezuela:

The thing we need to understand is that over the course of the stabilization process, any alternative will fail, because the force of the regime will make it fail.

So the way I see it, the approach taken by the United States to deal with the situation is the right thing to do, the right way to go at this time.

And when it comes to rebuilding and a democratic transition, that will be the time to make other decisions and see how progress can be made toward democratization in Venezuela.

Q: Are you going to call one of your dogs Lula?

Milei: I would never call my dog anything left-wing. I really love my dogs too much to insult them.

We have an adult relationship. This is not some kind of ideological paper-based battle.

Argentina's Milei:

The United States does trade with China, and the way we see it, China is a great trading partner.

It means a lot of opportunities for us to expand markets, so that is not any source of conflict.

Bloomberg: China doesn’t have a space station in the United States, the last time I checked. It does have a space station in Argentina.

Milei: Well, that’s not proven.

Argentina's Milei:

If you look at the weight of the Chinese economy in the world, I need to trade with China.

Look at the evolution of India — I need to trade with India.

Argentina's Milei:

I was more lonely than Adam on Mother’s Day. Now I have quite a few friends.
