Turkish President Erdogan:

Once the separatist terrorist threat in northern Syria is completely eliminated, not only the Syrian people but our entire region will breathe a sigh of relief.

As Syria transforms into an island of prosperity and stability in the region, we will all benefit from this.

The winners of a united and secure Syria will be Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, Alawites, Druze, Christians, and all other Syrian citizens.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We will come together with the peoples of the region on the common ground of Islamic brotherhood.

We will act with common sense, patience, and calmness, and we will not fall into traps; we will remain alert against attempts to stir up the fire of discord through social media.

Polarization and factionalism bring nothing but pain to both us and our region.

Tension based on ethnicity and sect only brings sorrow to our geography.

BREAKING: Trump:

If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a “Drop Off Port” for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.

China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.

If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump used the title “Governor” for Mark Carney for the first time since Carney became Prime Minister, after previously abandoning it.

Trump told the New York Post a secret U.S. weapon called the “Discombobulator” disabled Venezuelan defenses during a Jan. 3 raid that captured Maduro in Caracas.

He claims the device caused enemy systems to fail, allowing U.S. troops to arrest Maduro without American casualties.

“They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us,” Trump said.

BREAKING: A man was reportedly shot by a federal agent in Minneapolis this morning.

Trump, one week ago:

It is a good thing for Carney to sign a trade deal with China.

This decision leaves the Chinese Central Military Commission effectively reduced to Xi Jinping + one other key figure—an unprecedented shrinkage showing extreme power concentration.

BREAKING: Trump:

The last thing the World needs is to have China take over Canada.

It’s NOT going to happen, or even come close to happening!

Trump says the U.S. plans to gain sovereignty over areas of Greenland that house American military bases.

He told the New York Post there’s a “framework” for a deal, modeled on Britain’s sovereign bases in Cyprus.

The man shot by federal agents has died, Minneapolis police say.

Trump:

The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America!

In Afghanistan, 457 died, many were badly injured, and they were among the greatest of all warriors. It’s a bond too strong to ever be broken.

The U.K. Military, with tremendous Heart and Soul, is second to none (except for the U.S.A.!). We love you all, and always will!

Department of Homeland Security:

At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.

The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.

Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.

Protests have begun in Minneapolis after federal agents killed a man.

The US has invited Italy to become a founding member of an International Stabilization Force for Gaza.

Italy wouldn’t send troops but would contribute politically and help train Gaza’s future police force.

Prime Minister Meloni hasn’t yet decided, as doubts remain over the plan and Trump’s broader peace initiative faces international resistance.

Minneapolis Police Chief:

The victim is a 37-year-old white male who is a Minneapolis resident and we believe he is an American citizen.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey:

We have seen these kinds of operations in other places in other countries, but not here in America.

Not in a way where a great American city is being invaded by its own federal government.
