Egyptian President el-Sisi:

Don’t imagine that any country can achieve complete agricultural self-sufficiency — especially a country like Egypt.

No matter what we do, we can never fully achieve self-sufficiency.

We simply do not have enough land and water to produce everything we need.

Chinese Foreign Ministry:

Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. It is never a country, not in the past and never in the future.

Taiwan independence and cross-strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water.

Trump says he “should have asked for more” than the U.S. government’s 10% stake in Intel, telling Fortune the investment has surged in value since last year’s deal.

“Do I get credit for it? Does anybody even know I did that?” Trump said.

Trump said Intel “should be the biggest company in the world right now,” arguing past U.S. trade policy allowed rivals like TSMC to dominate chip manufacturing.

“If I had been president … I would have put a tariff on that would have protected Intel,” he said.

Pakistan has shared a revised Iranian proposal with the U.S. aimed at ending the Middle East conflict, according to a Pakistani source cited by Reuters, as peace talks remain stalled.

“We don’t have much time,” the source said, adding that both sides “keep changing their goalposts.”

Trump:

The Iranians scream all the time.

They’re dying to sign a deal. But then they send papers that have nothing to do with what we agreed on.

I say, “Are you people crazy?”

Turkish Foreign Ministry:

We condemn the intervention carried out by Israeli forces in international waters against the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was formed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, as yet another act of piracy.

The flotilla includes citizens from approximately 40 countries. Israel’s attacks and intimidation policies will in no way deter the international community’s pursuit of justice and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Israel must immediately cease its intervention and unconditionally release the detained flotilla participants.

Necessary initiatives are being undertaken to ensure the safe return of our citizens aboard the flotilla to our country, and the process is being closely monitored in cooperation with other countries.

We call on the international community to adopt a united and resolute stance without delay against Israel’s unlawful actions.
