Trump on Iran:

Their communications and telecommunications are gone.

I don’t know how they communicate now, but I guess they’ll figure something out.

Trump on Iran:

I’ll be meeting the families of the heroes who are coming home from Iran—coming home in a different way than they thought they would.

Trump:

We’ve cracked down on drugs coming in through the water—drug trafficking by sea is down 96%.

We’re trying to find out who the other four percent are, because I think they must be the bravest people in the world… or maybe they just don’t watch television.

Trump to Hegseth:

Pete you are fantastic, doing a great job.

We are proud of you.

NEW: Iraqi Kurds are trying to stay neutral in the Iran war, resisting pressure from both Iran and Iranian Kurdish militants who want to launch attacks from Iraqi territory.

Kurdish officials fear they cannot defend against Iranian drones:

“200 Shahed drones could cause a lot of damage here. We have no air defense systems.”
Iraqi Kurds say U.S. goals are unclear, especially on regime change:

“Is it full regime change, or just a change in personnel?”
Kurdish leaders believe regime change without U.S. troops is unlikely:

“There cannot be regime change without boots on the ground.”
Kurdish forces have blocked Iranian Kurdish militias from launching attacks into Iran so far.

Kurdish leaders also fear being abandoned by the U.S. if the war ends.

"We have trust issues from the past and we don't want to get involved. Who is going to defend us if the Iranian regime ends up surviving this?", the source said.

Trump to Panama's President:

Do you know you made one of the greatest real estate deals in history? He bought the Canal for 1 dollar.

I love that canal.

Trump:

I love giving endorsements to people.

But you know what? They don’t lose when I endorse them.

They spend millions and millions and millions of dollars on a campaign, and they’re losing. Then they beg me for an endorsement, I give them one, and they win by 30 points.

Trump to South American leaders:

Some of you are in danger, hard to believe.

We’ll use missiles if you want us to use a missile. Pew!

They’re extremely accurate — right into the living room. That’s the end of that cartel person.

Trump on cartels:

Many of the cartels have developed sophisticated military operations — highly sophisticated in some cases.

They say they’re more powerful than the military in the country. We can’t have that.

They’re cancer.

Trump to South American leaders:

I am not learning your damn language.

I don’t have time.

Trump on interpreters:

I had an interpreter recently that wasn't good, talking to a very strong person from a different part of the world.

And I could tell, even though I don't speak the language, I could tell the interpreter was not good.

When you go "uh, uh, uh" when I give a long-flowing, beautiful sentence, and in this case it was a woman, and she gave it in about one-fourth the time.

I said, "Well, their language may be efficient, but it's not that efficient."

Trump:

They say he is very militaristic. I am the one that ended eight wars.

Trump on Russia-Ukraine negotiations:

You know, Ukraine and Russia — you’d think there might be a little camaraderie somewhere, but the hatred is enormous. It’s very hard for them to get there. It’s very, very hard.

We’ll see what happens. We’ve been close many times, but one side or the other would back out.

But you know, we’re not really losing. They’re losing. It doesn’t affect us very much because we have an ocean separating us.

I’m doing it as a favor to Europe. For life.

Trump on Sheinbaum:

Sheinbaum is a very good person. She has a beautiful voice, beautiful woman.

“President, president, president,” I said, “let me eradicate the cartels.”

“No, no, no, please, president.”

We have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them.

They are taking over that country. The cartels are running Mexico.

Trump on Delcy Rodríguez:

She is doing a great job working with us.

If she wasn’t working with us, I would not say that. If she wasn’t working with us, I would say she is doing a very poor job, unacceptable.

But she is doing a great job.

Trump:

A great change will soon be coming to Cuba.

Cuba is at the end of the line.

Hegseth:

Mr. President, I only speak American.

Hegseth:

For far too long, our country's gaze was only on borders in far-flung places and not our own border, not our own hemisphere.

Trump:

In one case, we had an interpreter who, when she disagreed with what we were saying, actually changed it.

We considered her a foreign minister.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted.

Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.
