We can reach a deal with Iran, but I am losing faith in them because they lie.

Trump on Iran:

Most people would have given up by now. They haven't, so I give them credit for that.

They are tough.

Trump on Ukraine:

Nobody wants to make concessions, but both Putin and Zelensky are going to have to make concessions to make a deal.

Reporter: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks?

Trump: I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota.

Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack.

Trump on Ukraine:

The Russian tanks were going to Kyiv, but they got stuck in the mud.

A general decided to go through the mud instead of going through the highway, where they were going very nicely.

Trump on Iran:

They talk about nuclear for seven hours. I say, "Why seven hours? You can get it done in five to 10 minutes."

Trump:

We ended India-Pakistan. Eleven planes were shot down.

I said, "If you are going to go to war, 250% tariffs to each of them." They yelled, screamed, and both were very angry.

They later called and said they were not going to war.

Trump on Iran:

Their leaders are all gone. Everything is all gone!

But they will fight onward.

Trump:

The Tomahawk missile is the most incredible—you can go through a doorway, put it through a window of a house.

Nobody has seen anything like it.

French President Macron:

I asked the Interior Minister to strengthen controls at our border with Spain if necessary: 4 units of mobile forces, aircraft, and drones have been deployed.

Trump on Ukraine and Patriots:

We have the greatest weapons in the world, and we have to be careful about giving out secrets to the weapons. You can't copy them.

It is like NVIDIA—they have a chip. They say you cannot copy it.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Solidarity and empathy are optional.

Respect for European treaties and data is not.

CENTCOM:

The Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessel transit. Iran does not control it. Thousands of ships have sailed through the international waterway over the past four months.

Italian PM Meloni:

The Government has decided to temporarily suspend the free movement regime provided for by Schengen in maritime and air connections with Spain, reintroducing border controls.

This is an extraordinary measure, adopted to safeguard national security and prevent possible repercussions for our Nation.

The measure will be kept in force only for the time necessary, with particular attention to limiting any impact on summer tourist flows.

Kamala Harris:

We need to revisit the Electoral College. We need to revisit the point of expanding the Court.

We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.

Kamala Harris on Iran War:

I would have opposed the Iran War even if Congress had approved it.

48,300 of the 50,000 migrants return to Morocco after entering Ceuta, and at least 57 died crossing.

BIG: The U.S. is reconsidering its long-standing military presence in Kuwait after the war with Iran exposed the country's vulnerability despite hosting thousands of American troops.

While Kuwait still views the U.S. as its primary security partner, the conflict has prompted both countries to rethink their defense strategy.

Washington is weighing a smaller military footprint to reduce risk, while Kuwait is seeking stronger air defenses and broader security partnerships, including a new defense pact with Pakistan.

The war has highlighted that a large U.S. presence no longer guarantees protection against modern missile and drone threats.
