Our warriors showed good results today in shooting down drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not against Russian ballistics.

The reason is precisely insufficient supplies of interceptor missiles.

It is very important that the world — first and foremost America and our European partners — leave the NATO summit in Ankara with strong decisions to support our sky defense, and therefore the defense of ordinary people's lives.

As long as Patriot missiles remain in allied warehouses, it only encourages Russia to keep 'defeating' residential buildings.

The US and Europe have enough power to stop this terror.

With no aides, phones, or cameras, they openly vented their frustration and anxiety over Trump's actions, including his threats toward Greenland and broader shifts in U.S. policy.

The discussion centered on a once-unthinkable question: whether Europe needed to prepare for a future in which America was no longer a dependable ally.

French President Emmanuel Macron concluded that "there is no going back," while most leaders agreed Europe had to become more strategically independent, though Italy's Giorgia Meloni argued Trump could still be reasoned with.

We only have one chance left as a nation.

We must finally end what we see as the wrong policies in Germany, as quickly as possible.

Euro bailouts, refugee rescue, climate rescue, Ukraine rescue—combined with consistent deindustrialisation and disastrous energy policy—are overwhelming the people in our country; they are overwhelming us.

They overwhelm those people who think every day about the future of their children, who think in terms of generations, and who believe in Germany’s future.

The old parties clung to this ridiculous, unsorted collection of material in order to systematically deny us the rights of the opposition in the new Bundestag and prevent us from fully carrying out the voters’ mandate of parliamentary representation.

And for the history books, dear friends, it is truly sad that the once-proud workers’ party is disappearing from German party history so quietly and without glory.

I personally will not shed a single tear for the SPD. A party that betrays workers and employees in this way has no place here anymore.

The executive board had to do a considerable amount of work to legally challenge the defamatory document of the Social Democrat Nancy Faeser. And we won.

The decision of the Cologne Administrative Court is clear: we are not right-wing extremist.

We already knew that. We are now successfully fighting back against the politically directed domestic intelligence service.

India should understand that we’re not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago,

In terms of saying, "Oh, you know, we’re going to let you be able to develop all these markets," and then the next thing we know, you’re beating us in a lot of commercial things.

We’re going to make sure that whatever we do, it’s fair to our people, because ultimately we have to be accountable to our own people, just as the government of India has to be accountable to its people.
