Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

I think we made a mistake after the end of the Cold War, reducing our military spending and hoping that if anything happened then the US would come and help us.

It's simply the wrong way of looking at yourself, your countries, and your borders.

I believe that Europe needs to rearm totally and be totally able to defend ourselves.

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

Trump was very outspoken about his desire regarding Greenland.

I think we responded very clearly. We had a public discussion and then we agreed to have this high-level working group. It's still working.

Our territorial integrity has to be respected.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever:

Because of the whole woke phenomenon, a kind of macho backlash has emerged. That backlash is wrong as well. But it should be taken seriously.

Why are boys turning to the Andrew Tates of this world, who are complete fools and idiots? Why are they being taken seriously?

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

If I had small kids today, I would rather have them smoking than allowing them to stay on their own on social media.

But I am acting prime minister, so I will not say that.

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

There is a total established link between power, political power, capital, tech giants and AI. And the purpose of this is undermining democracy.

That's the goal because the people who are developing this stuff are against democracy.

I met Sam Altman a couple of years ago. I spent hours with him and at the end of the discussion I said to him, "You have created a monster."

And he said, "Yes, and now it's up to you to find out how to deal with it."

Iran's Tasnim:

If Trump proposes changes to the draft agreement, Iran will make its own revisions as well.

Nothing is finalized. Iran says it will only accept terms it agrees with and is also prepared for the possibility of no deal.

Trump continues to post photos of himself with Xi.

Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur have been barred from entering the UK ahead of SXSW London, where both were scheduled to speak this week.

The U.S. military has quietly coordinated the safe passage of about 70 commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz over the past three weeks, according to U.S. officials.

Trump:

Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us.

Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!

Trump:

Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon.

It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about.

CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!!
