Trump on Ireland:

I would love to see Ireland unified.

It's going to happen eventually.

I think it would be a fantastic thing. How can it be bad?

Trump on Canada:

Canada wants to make a deal very badly, just like Iran wants to make a deal very badly.

Trump on Canada:

You will probably see a deal with Canada fairly soon.

Reporter: What would you say to the Irish people who will be protesting today because they don't want you to come to Ireland?

Trump: I didn't know there was a protest. I haven't seen any protests.

Trump on Gaza:

If you look at Gaza, a lot of good relationships are taking place right now in Gaza.

It's been quite amazing. I think we have done a great job.

Trump on Iran:

We very powerfully control the Hormuz Strait. Nobody saw that happening.

We are taking out, on average, 25 boats a day.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi:

Friends, while strengthening BRICS, we must also define the direction of global reform.

The current structure of global governance appears like a pyramid.

At the top of this pyramid, power and decision-making are concentrated. And at the bottom are countries that are affected by these decisions but are unable to shape them.

Today, the Global South is on the front line of global crises, but it remains in the back row of decision-making. We must transform this pyramid of privilege into a platform of partnership.

Houthis swept down Yemen's Red Sea coast in 36 hours, taking Mocha and Perim Island while Saudi air support never showed up.

MBS called Trump twice asking him to strike the Houthis — Trump said no.

Yemeni battalions were hollow, filled with "ghost names" at 20% real strength.

The UAE had pulled out in January after Saudi Arabia told them to leave, and Riyadh never replaced them.

"It's a Saudi-American f**k-up of epic proportions", a regional source said to CNN.

"The air support never came. And Mocha has now fallen." — senior Yemeni military source

"They don't need advanced weapons to close Bab al-Mandeb. They can just use a cannon on a car." — STC official Amr Al-Bidh

Iran now has pressure on both Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb simultaneously.

An adviser to Iran's supreme leader called it a "clear victory."

Houthis are already mobilizing eastward.

NEW: After the SDF dissolution in Syria, Iraq announces terror group PKK will surrender its weapons in Sinjar to the Iraqi state.

Iraq's PM Zeydi says the region's security and administration will come under full federal government control, with a commission to oversee integrating eligible fighters into official security forces.

For the first time ever, three Indian Air Force pilots are now serving as flying instructors at RAF Valley in Wales, training British pilots on the Hawk T2 jet trainer.

A historic reversal nearly a century after the British established India's Air Force.

Trump:

They asked me, "What do you think about the unification of Ireland and Northern Ireland?"

I gave a nice answer, I think.

That's one of those questions where, no matter what you say, there's no good answer.

Trump once again says the unification of Ireland "would be a very cool thing."

Trump:

Venezuela, we took that over. We won the war.

Houthi member Hizam al-Assad on Trump's statements:

As usual with his clownish lies, the criminal Trump comes with baseless claims.

But reality sums him up with the old proverb:

'The hand you cannot break — kiss it, and pray for it to break.'

Trump says Ireland and other countries are buying U.S. military equipment in "record numbers."

Trump on Europe:

I hate to see what's happening with Europe.

That immigration, what you are doing to yourselves, you're just killing yourselves.

Trump on NATO:

Why the hell are we helping them? You will be hearing that later.

Trump on the Irish people:

People of Ireland are some of the most vicious bastards I've ever done.

But when you want to be nice, there is nobody nicer.
