Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Iran:

One of the obligations of the president of the United States is to make sure that if you're going to start losing the lives of young American service people, you need to be able to look their parents in the eye—or a surviving spouse in the eye—and say, "We did everything possible to avoid having to do this."

It is patently clear to everybody and anybody who looks at this closely, the president never did that.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Iran:

Trump went after this agreement from the minute he got into the campaign.

I mean, this was sort of an Obama accomplishment—something President Obama would do.

And as we all know, that has motivated a lot of action by President Trump to sort of undo the Obama presidency, which he hasn't done.

I think he's undone his own by virtue of the rush to military action here and by the credibility that he has lost on a global basis.

WATCH: Philadelphia's opioid crisis mutates.

Fentanyl and Xylazine are turning the crisis into a public health nightmare.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are closely monitoring the attacks—particularly those targeting Lebanon—that seek to undermine the agreement which has brought a much-needed sense of relief to our region and the world.

We look to your support in ensuring that the provocations of the genocidal network, which cannot tolerate our region achieving stability and even views such stability as a threat to its own security, are not allowed to succeed.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The root cause of the tensions in the Middle East is the Palestinian issue.

Unfortunately, lasting peace cannot be achieved in our region as long as the occupation continues and Israel's ongoing land appropriation persists.

The gateway to lasting peace is a two-state solution.

An independent, sovereign, and territorially contiguous Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders must be established.

Turkish President Erdogan on NATO & EU:

Despite our contributions, it is also a fact that in some cases the indispensable benefits Türkiye provides to European security are overlooked.

As one of the countries with a say in the development of the alliance's European pillar, we have the will to be included in all defense and security initiatives on the continent.

We expect your close interest and support, as parliamentarians, for Türkiye's inclusion in the defense and security initiatives announced by the European Union.

Excluding the capacity Türkiye possesses in the defense field due to narrow political interests is of no benefit to anyone.

We must form, across the alliance, a security and defense network extending from Texas to Ankara — without any ifs or buts.

Turkish President Erdogan on NATO and Türkiye:

With its strong armed forces, modern military capabilities, and advanced defense industry, Türkiye has been among the leading Allies contributing to NATO's security for more than 70 years.

We play an active role in NATO missions and contribute to the preservation of peace and stability.

We share with our Allies both our exceptional ability to manage regional crises and our extensive experience within NATO.

Trump:

Do you think people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building and operating the Great American State Fair at the National Mall, packed with happy people, and everybody loving it?

Ask yourself this simple question, “DO YOU THINK THAT OBUMA OR SLEEPY JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE DONE IT?”

THE ANSWER IS NO!

French President Emmanuel Macron — back in his sunglasses — welcomes Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman to the Élysée Palace.

Turkish President Erdogan to NATO & EU countries:

We need to remove the obstacles in front of defense industry trade.

UK's Andy Burnham:

We cannot go through another decade like the one we have just had.

Trump:

Highest Poll Numbers Ever. Even Higher than Election Day, November 5th.

This despite the fact that, IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!

EU's Kaja Kallas on NATO Summit in Ankara:

Türkiye is a partner of strategic importance.

Of course, before every summit it is said that this is an historical one.

But it's true that right now, the transatlantic relations have also been under some heavy strain.

EU's Kaja Kallas:

Türkiye is an EU candidate country.

Of course, there have been also a lot of issues regarding fundamental freedoms that are basics of EU membership, really.

But when it comes to NATO, then Türkiye is the second biggest army in NATO and definitely with a very strong defense industry.

The Trump administration secured a deal giving U.S.-backed Kaz Resources access to one of the world's largest untapped tungsten deposits in Kazakhstan, with up to $1.6 billion in potential U.S. financing.

Shortly before the agreement was finalized, investors tied to Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's family acquired financial stakes in the project.
