NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

You could argue that Trump is the third POTUS since Eisenhower who has been able to bring about a situation where the Europeans and the Canadians spend the same as the Americans.

Senator Ted Cruz to Trump:

On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

Türkiye has one of the biggest armed forces in NATO, well trained.

Particularly in the last 5–10 years, you have rapidly developed your defense industrial base. You now have about 3,000 companies turning out the defense industrial output that we need to defend ourselves.

Ankara, Istanbul, Türkiye as a whole is really important. Your place on the map is important. Your leadership in NATO is important. The fact that you organized this summit in Ankara is evidence of that.

Reporter: The U.S. is splitting NATO, isn't it, rather than bringing it together?

NATO's Rutte: It is not. It is bringing NATO close together.

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

Putin is willing to sacrifice 35,000 of his own men, which is crazy.

Can you imagine the impact on all those families?

NATO's Rutte in Ankara:

If you are a young guy living in Russia and you contemplate joining the war effort, think again.

Reporter: Putin, shortly after speaking to you on July 4, struck Kyiv and killed innocent civilians. Why isn't he feeling any pressure after speaking with you?

Trump: I think he does feel pressure. He wants to end it.

Trump on Ukraine War:

I think we're getting much closer than people realize.

Putin wants it to end. I will tell you that very strongly. We had a good call.

Zelensky actually wants it to end now.

We're going to be going to NATO, and we're going to be talking about it. And I think we're going to get it ended.

Trump on drone warfare:

Who would have thought that drones would have become such a factor? They're killing machines. It's amazing.

You hide behind a tree, and it goes and gets you. And I've seen scenes that I don't want to see, and I don't want you to see.

Trump on Iran:

I went in for one reason: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

I am not looking for regime change, although this is regime change.

Trump:

The famous Strait of Hormuz—nobody ever heard of it, but that is some big money machine.

Trump on Iran:

We're either going to make a deal, or we're going to finish the job, okay? And it won't be tough to finish the job.

I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour.

We can knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, modern plants. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money.

We can knock out their electricity and power-generating plants in, I would say, a small part of an afternoon. Every plant will be gone, and they know that.

Trump on Harry Kane:

Harry Kane is a great player. I played golf with him, and I like him a lot.

Trump on football:

We call it soccer. It's called football, I guess, but we can't really call it football because there is a little confusion.

Trump on Balogun's red card:

That wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction.

They crashed into each other.

Trump on Balogun:

Balogun is our best player. He got a red card. I didn't know what that meant, but then I heard that it means you cannot play in the next game.

That's very unfair. How do you penalize him for a game that hasn't been played yet?

I asked for a review by FIFA.

Trump on Balogun's red card:

I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul.

That was not a guy punching somebody in the face.

Trump criticizes the concept of a red card in football.

Trump claims wind energy is bad for the environment.

Trump:

Every time I see a crypto guy where they dropped an investigation, I say, "You're lucky I'm president."

Trump:

My uncle was a big nuclear guy at MIT. He knew nuclear better than anybody in the world, I think.
