The argumentation behind that is it's forced labor. I mean, sorry, but you can't say that for the European Union.

If you compare our labor laws to the ones of the United States—I mean, we have paid vacations, we have very good labor conditions for our employees.

So it's not really grounded.

We had a deal with America, and we have kept to that deal, our side of the deal.

I mean, the negotiations were not easy. It is important for our companies that there is predictability.

That's why the companies were saying, "Get to a result, get to a negotiated deal," because predictability is better than not having the view of what is coming.

Its size and features suggest it's comparable to the U.S. Virginia-class, while its construction at a new shipyard indicates China may be expanding nuclear submarine production more rapidly than expected.

I don't see us asking anyone for permission to connect our islands.

I don't see us asking anyone for permission to carry out our maritime spatial planning.

I don't see us asking anyone for permission to strengthen our Armed Forces.

Nor did we ask anyone for permission to begin the process of hydrocarbon exploration south of Crete and in the Ionian Sea.

I don't know what Türkiye will eventually do.

What I do know is that we have prepared responses to every possible move Türkiye could make.

There is often journalistic exaggeration—both in Greece and in Türkiye.

I keep seeing analysts with maps, drawing circles to show how far this or that missile can reach. That doesn't help.

Let's stick to reality.

We are condemned to live next to each other. That is not going to change.

I believe our peoples want good relations. We do have differences—and one very major difference, of course—which has remained unresolved for forty years.

But that does not mean we have to live in a state of permanent tension or constant dramatization.

We can talk about a realistic solution regarding issues such as the Exclusive Economic Zone and the continental shelf—we're still at that stage.

But I am never willing to negotiate from a position of weakness.

In 2019, the condition of our Armed Forces was very problematic.

Look where we are today. Look where Türkiye was in 2019, and look where we are today.

In 2019, Türkiye was ready to receive one hundred F-35 fighter jets. One hundred F-35s.

Look where we were then—and look where we are today.

Vance's recent media tour for his memoir Communion reportedly impressed Trump, with appearances on The View, Real Time with Bill Maher, Fox News, and Megyn Kelly's podcast showcasing his ability to defend the administration in varied settings.

Trump has also reportedly praised Vance's recent weight loss.

Trump was angry that Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the deal without informing him first.

The White House viewed the agreement as premature, arguing it was not finalized because required notifications to Congress had not yet been sent.

Conservative backlash quickly mounted. Fox News hosts and a Wall Street Journal editorial criticized the deal for giving Saudi Arabia nuclear cooperation without requiring normalization with Israel—a condition the Biden administration had also pursued.

Trump responded by publicly reinstating that requirement, insisting Saudi Arabia must join the Abraham Accords before the deal can move forward.

"I do believe a genocide is being committed in Gaza. I think Netanyahu is responsible," Khan told Channel 4 News. "As a perpetrator of genocide, I think he's broken the law... justice needs to happen."

Asked whether he would push the government to act, Khan replied: "If there is any evidence of him coming to London, I'll be lobbying the prime minister to make sure the law is enforced."

When asked if Netanyahu was welcome in London, Khan responded: "People who commit genocide are not welcome in London."

Türkiye is a large country—eight times larger than us. We need to keep that in perspective.

That is why I want Greece always to possess such a strong deterrent capability that no one would even contemplate challenging, in practice, Greece's sovereignty and its sovereign rights.

And we are now in that position, and we will continue to become even stronger.
