Brazilian President Lula:

First of all, when I came here I said that I would not speak to the press before the meeting.

It doesn’t make sense. I came here to have a meeting. I came here to discuss issues.

How are you going to hold a press conference before you’ve even discussed anything?

Neither I nor Trump need photographs, and we don’t need to invent things to say to the press.

So I preferred that we first have our meeting and only afterwards talk.

CENTCOM:

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

This war must end with changing the borders of the State of Israel — in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, and of course in the West Bank.

If it were up to me, we would have annexed territory long ago.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Our enemies do not care how many terrorists we kill or how many bombs we drop on them; it does not interest them.

What matters to them is that we take territory from them.

Three U.S. Navy destroyers — USS Truxtun, USS Mason and USS Rafael Peralta — came under a heavier Iranian attack Thursday while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran launched missiles, drones and fast-attack boats, prompting U.S. forces to respond with naval guns, helicopters and air support.

No U.S. ships were hit or damaged, officials said.

Trump called the recent strikes on Iranian targets “just a love tap.”

Asked whether that meant the ceasefire was over, Trump said: “No, the ceasefire is holding. It’s still in effect.”

Trump:

Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently.

Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!

A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!

Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.”

Reporter: Have you been briefed on the hantavirus?

Trump: Yes.

Reporter: What have you learned?

Trump: It’s very much, we hope, under control.

Reporter: Should Americans be concerned it’s going to spread?

Trump: I hope not.

Trump:

If there’s no ceasefire, you’ll see one big glow coming out of Iran.

Trump asks workers if they think Iran should have a nuclear weapon.

Trump:

Gas prices are way down. Have you looked?

Reporter: Why was “Project Freedom” suspended?

Trump: Because the wonderful leadership in Pakistan asked us not to do it.

Zelensky:

Russia launched more than 850 drone strikes using various types of drones: FPVs, Lancets, and others.

There was not even an attempt to imitate a ceasefire at the front.

Today, Ukraine will respond in a mirror manner.

Reporter: Why focus on all these projects as gas prices are soaring?

Trump: Such a stupid question. You can understand dirt better than I can, baby, but I don’t allow it.

Kamala Harris:

For far too many people in our country, the American dream is not real.

In fact, for many people, in their lived experience, it’s what they would consider an American myth.

Kamala Harris on Iran:

Trump talked about ‘obliterating,’ and then he said, ‘Oh, he did.’

It’s all just bullshit!

Kamala Harris:

Do you want to know who’s the big winner in the Iranian war? Russia.

Because of the oil issue, what has he done? He’s lifted sanctions on Russia. You know what that means?

They’re making money selling oil that otherwise they were prevented from selling.

Kamala Harris:

I’m not going to dismiss Trump as being an idiot. He’s dangerous. He’s dangerous.

And America’s security and prosperity are on the line in terms of what he does and does not do.

Greenland — anything we want and would have wanted, we could get diplomatically.

Canada's Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr at Türkiye's SAHA 2026:

We don't have the luxury of developing everything alone over 15 years.

Türkiye has very strong companies.

We see serious synergy potential here. We have to move fast with reliable partners.

Kamala Harris:

Donald Trump is the first president of the United States, of either party — Republican or Democrat — since World War II who has thumbed his nose at the importance of America’s relationships with our allies.

Thumbed his nose at it, walked away from them, points fingers at them, calls them names, degrades them in the Oval Office.

He’s the first president of the United States, of either party, who has not assumed a responsibility — imperfect though we may be — to be a standard-bearer around international rules and norms such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Kamala Harris:

America has become more unreliable.

We’ve become unreliable to our friends. Unreliable as a friend.

And we have also therefore lost our influence.
