Trump on Iran:

We may have to do a little cleanup work because we had a little month-long ceasefire.

Trump on Iran:

We really did the ceasefire at the request of other nations.

I wouldn't have really been in favor of it, but we did it as a favor to Pakistan — terrific people, the field marshal and the prime minister.

Trump on China:

We made a lot of great trade deals, including over 200 planes from Boeing with a promise of 750 planes, which will be by far the largest order ever if they do a good job with the 200, which I'm sure they will.

And that's General Electric also, the engines. So they're buying General Electric.

So it's approximately 400–450 engines and 200 planes and a promise of up to 750 if they do a good job.

Reporter: Should Keir Starmer quit?

Trump: I don't say that. I think he's a nice man actually.

NEW: German Chancellor Merz called Trump on his way back from China.

They agreed: Iran must negotiate, open the Strait of Hormuz, and won't be allowed nuclear weapons.

They also coordinated on Ukraine ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara.

Trump on Cuba:

They need help. They are really a nation — or a country — in decline.

We have a lot to talk about on Cuba, but not maybe for today.

Reporter: On social, you said that Xi made a reference to the decline of the US. We didn't hear him say that.

Trump: It might not have been from him. It was somebody, but they talked about the decline.

But he said today — and he said it very publicly — he said the US was declining for the last four years.

And he said what President Trump has done in the last 15–16 months has been virtually a miracle.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

If they want to go back to war, it's up to them.

They have tested us. They can test us again.

But the result would not be any different.

Reporter: What about the political prisoners in China? Did you bring up with Xi political prisoners in China? Are any going to be released any longer?

Trump: Uh I think he's giving very serious consideration to the pastor.

Reporter: What about Jimmy Lai?

Trump: I did bring it up. It's a tougher one for him. It's a tougher one.

He told me that would be a tough one.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The Strait of Hormuz is open, except for vessels belonging to countries who are at war with us.

The Strait is located in the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. There is no international waters in between.

Everything should be managed by Iran and Oman.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the UAE:

The same country that blocked the BRICS statement provided the US and Israeli forces with their airspace, their territories, their military bases.

As far as we are concerned, they are a direct party to this aggression.

Reporter: Admiral Cooper was asked yesterday about the strike on the girls school on the first day of the war.

Trump: You're talking about the original — that is under investigation.

Reporter: Are you able to confirm that it was a US missile?

Trump: Who are you with?

Reporter: BBC.

Trump: Fake BBC.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the UAE:

Israelis cannot protect them. Americans cannot protect them.

That was proved during this war — their relation with Israel became a source of insecurity instead of security.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Israel

We know that there are spoilers who tried to derail diplomacy.

Warmongers who want to drag the US again into another war.

I hope wisdom and diplomacy would finally prevail.

Netanyahu:

The areas of buffer that we created around us — in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria — all these changed the face of the Middle East.

We will continue to struggle with determination against any threat of radical Islam.

At the same time, we will expand cooperation with the moderate elements in our region.

Reporter: Have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran or where does that stand?

Trump: Well, I looked at it and if I don't like the first sentence, I just throw it away.

Reporter: What was the first sentence?

Trump: An unacceptable sentence. If they have any nuclear in any form, I don't read the rest.

Reporter: The 1982 assurances that President Reagan gave said the United States would not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan.

Trump: I think 1982 is a long way.

Reporter: You saw the reporting on the missile capability, missile launchers that have remained. Is that accurate?

Trump: No, it’s New York Times fake news. The missile launchers are probably 80% gone.

Before boarding Air Force One to leave Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation dumped every item given to them by Chinese hosts — gifts, badges, pins, commemorative items — into a trash bin on site.

Nothing of Chinese origin got on the plane.

The delegation had already left personal devices at home and used clean burner phones throughout the trip.

Prof. Kenneth Roth | Former Director of Human Rights Watch | Princeton University:
 

The RSF is the successor of the genocidal Janjaweed, a younger generation, that just committed genocide in Al-Fasher.
 
They surrounded the city, starving it for months, then killing everyone they could.
 
This was only possible because the UAE was arming the RSF. RSF sends gold, UAE sends arms. This continued through atrocity after atrocity.
 
The UAE is guilty of aiding & abetting genocide. The task now: stop it - and bring those responsible to justice.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The crises in our immediate surroundings have once again demonstrated the strategic value of the Turkic world acting in solidarity.

Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Ukraine and many other crises indicate that we must strengthen our defense and increase our industrial cooperation.

Türkiye is ready to share the experience we have gained in defense industry shaped by high technology with the members of our organization.
