Trump on Erdogan & Netanyahu:

I like President Erdogan. He rolled out the red carpet. He's terrific.

But Bibi said rough things yesterday about Türkiye and Erdogan.

And I said, you know, I spoke to him. I said he could have gone into the war because he doesn't like Israel much. And he doesn't like Bibi much. And he didn't go because of me.

And this is a military power. Millions of soldiers. Türkiye is very strong. They have a lot of our best equipment. They're trying to get the F-35s.

But he didn't go in. He wanted. He would go in. If it weren't for me, he would have gone in. And it would have been on the other side.

Trump on Erdogan:

I don't think Erdogan likes Iran either.

Erdogan happens to be very sane, and the Iranians happen to be very crazy.

Trump on China:

I think China treated us right.

He never went into the war. He never supplied equipment to Iran.

Xi was great. I am a big fan of President Xi.

Trump on TikTok:

I'm number one on TikTok. Like 4 billion views or something like that.

So, I don't know — people have to get their priorities straight.

Trump:

I think the Iranians are incompetent.

If they were competent, they would have made a deal 47 years ago.

Trump on Iran:

I'm on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I've been a little bit lucky, but that maybe doesn't last very long.

Because that's the way it goes, but we have great people.

But these are evil, sick people, and we have to rid their cancer. That cancer. And you know what you do? You got to cut out cancer early.

Trump:

Don't even talk to Spain. They are hopeless.

They are bad people.

Trump on Spain:

Spain will come to us saying, "Please, please, we want to trade with you, sir."

I want no business with them.

Trump on NATO:

We had a time when we were paying 100% of NATO.

A lot of countries weren't paying anything.

Spanish PM's office statement on Trump ordering to cut off trade:

Spain is treating these statements as business as usual.

Spain has strong social, cultural, and economic ties with the U.S., and we do not plan to change this.

NATO's Rutte is trying to convince Trump that Spain pays for its defense.

Trump doesn't seem convinced.

Trump:

China is trying to take over the Panama Canal.

That's not gonna happen.

NATO’s Rutte on Greenland:

You and I made a deal in Davos.

I will make sure that that deal is step by step being implemented, that you can deploy if you want to Golden Dome on Greenland, you have your hot dogs.

Trump:

I am a successful dealmaker.

I deal with the Iranians, and I say this is from a different school.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa arrives in Ankara to participate in the NATO summit.

al-Sharaa will also meet with Trump.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

Everyone is talking about war, everyone is talking about rearmament, and yesterday I didn't hear the word "peace" even once.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

I think we won't reach 2% defense spending this year because we inherited a budget with a 90-billion-crown hole.

We had to decide whether to stop all highway and bypass construction or increase defense spending.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

At the dinner there was nothing about NATO spending. Nobody was interested in that at dinner.

We talked about the food, about all sorts of things, about football, Haaland being a genius, and so on.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

We asked Trump where Melania was. President Trump explained that, of course, making such a trip would be exhausting for her.

President Trump is very proud of Melania because of the film she made.

Hegseth cancels his visit to Israel.
