Trump:

MAGA likes us protecting certain allies, whether it’s Israel or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or the UAE.

Trump:

Cuba is next. Pretend I didn’t say that, please.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino shows up at yet another Trump event.

Trump:

I even stopped India and Pakistan; they were going at it for a week—nine planes already shot down.

Trump:

I am a big believer in genes, by the way.

Trump:

Some allies weren’t there—we didn’t need them, but they weren’t there if we did need them.

That is going to be very costly for them.

Trump:

Nobody has ever figured out the Patriot.

Trump:

We agreed to sell the F-35 to Saudi Arabia. The F-35 is amazing; we sell them very sparingly—we don’t want other people to have them.

Trump on 2016:

I ran; everyone thought I was doing it for fun... I didn’t know what I was doing it for.

Trump on Iran:

I guess we changed the regime; the regime keeps blowing up every two days.

Trump:

I met Mr. Toyoda in Japan. He is about 92 years old.

“What is your name?”
“Toyoda,” “You are rich.”
I said, “What do you have to do with Toyota?”
He said, “I own it.”

He then agreed to invest 10 billion dollars in the U.S.

Trump:

You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex. Whatever the hell you want.

Trump:

If it’s a military operation, I don’t need any approvals. If it’s a war, you are supposed to get approval from Congress.

So I call it a military operation.

Trump:

Africa has tremendous potential if they can unify.

Trump on NATO:

I guess we don’t have to be there for NATO based on their actions.

That sounds like a breaking story, right? But that is a fact.

Trump:

I know it doesn’t sound right for me to say this, but I would love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker.

I really believe I am a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I am a peacemaker.

Meanwhile, the United States and Israel are bombing Iran.

Ten U.S. service members were injured in an Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

At a G7 meeting, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas pressed U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on why the U.S. hasn’t taken tougher action against Russia.

Kallas pointed out that a year had passed without increased pressure, asking when U.S. “patience” would run out.

Rubio, visibly frustrated, shot back that the U.S. is doing its best to end the war and suggested critics try themselves.

The USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group is being sent to the U.S. Central Command region, where American forces are operating around Iran.

It has just completed combat-readiness training, meaning it’s prepared for major operations.

Officials say it could join ongoing actions against Iran, but no final decision has been made.
