Spain has returned about 37,500 of the roughly 50,000–60,000 migrants who entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco since early Friday.

Authorities said returns are continuing under an agreement with Morocco.

Russia has imported about 30,000 tons of gasoline from Morocco to ease fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on major refineries.

Russia also turns to India, Belarus and Kazakhstan for fuel while domestic gasoline production has fallen sharply.

Trump on his cabinet:

This is one of the most talented teams to ever serve in the U.S. government.

This is a talented group of people.

Trump:

We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack. They blamed it on Iran. I don't think so.

I blame it on Minnesota and its corrupt governor.

Trump:

They like to say, "Ohh, it's Iran. Iran should be so lucky."

Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.

Department of State:

The United States stands with the people of Spain, and all Europeans, against this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights.

This unacceptable incident is the direct result of the Spanish Government's deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe.

We are considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat and stand ready to assist other European allies considering similar options.

Trump:

Drug prices are going down by 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%.

Nobody has ever heard of a thing like that.

Trump:

Your drug prices have gone down by numbers not even thinkable.

Trump:

We are talking about 400%, 500%, 600% discounts on drugs.

I will say it again and again because the press doesn't want to report it.

Trump on Spain:

I saw Spain yesterday. I watched the catastrophe that took place.

It looks like the invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people.

That same thing is going to happen to us if Republicans don't get elected, except worse—much bigger.

Trump on Spain:

When I watched what happened in Spain, I said, "Boy, that's going to be a talking point for the midterms."

Spain doesn't know what to do, and it's happening again today.

They are invading the country.

That is weak law, bad management, very liberal law.

Zelensky said he had a good call with the Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance:

We discussed the results of our recent meeting with President Trump in Washington – a positive and productive meeting.

The Russian air strikes on our country continue, and air defense, specifically interceptors for Patriot systems against ballistic missiles, remains a top priority.

We also spoke with the Vice President about the consequences of the Russian war for global markets.

We agreed that our teams will stay in touch and work through everything we discussed today.

Trump on Iran:

Iran is doing very poorly. They are doing very, very poorly. They are having a very hard time.

They have been very dishonest and dishonorable to deal with.

But that makes no difference. They are doing very, very poorly.

Trump on Iran:

They have some missiles left, but they have far fewer than they had four or five months ago.

Their manufacturing capacity is almost gone. Their drone capacity is almost gone.

But they have some.

Trump on Iran:

We're in there for five months, and if you look at Vietnam, they were in there for 20 years.

Trump:

This is the golden age of America.

And we have a war that's going on. I call it a military operation.

Trump:

There is no information that the International Criminal Court is after me.

It could happen, just so you know.

Rubio is not trying to defend me. He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people.

Pete Hegseth:

You wonder why the Houthis are not involved in this conflict, even though they are a proxy of Iran?

It's because they felt the weight of American power for 45 days.

The US is withdrawing its remaining forces from Iraq ahead of a September 30 deadline, and has already removed Patriot air defenses from Erbil.

The move comes as Iranian forces and proxies continue attacking the Kurdistan Region, raising fears that the Kurds are being left more exposed.

Pete Hegseth on Steve Witkoff:

We have the best negotiators in the world.
