Trump on China:

China has been, I think, very fair with us over the last number of years that I’ve been there.

We have a great relationship.

Reporter: When do you see democratic elections happening in Venezuela?

Trump: When they are ready. People of Venezuela are very happy now.

Reporter: Should the AI industry slow down or be more regulated?

Trump: You have a lot of negative forces that are bringing it up, that are bringing up things that won’t happen.

BIG: Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Merz's top security adviser, and security advisers from UK, France, and Italy were all on a chartered night train from Kyiv when a Russian drone hit the locomotive of a passenger train on the same route near the Polish border.

Their train was stopped and partially evacuated at 5am before an all-clear.

They were returning from the YES security conference in Kyiv.

Polish jets scrambled, sirens sounded on the Polish side.

WATCH: Reporter: UK PM Andy Burnham said there won’t be a referendum on Northern Ireland until the majority of people...

Trump: Everybody says that, and then things happen.

Trump:

If you have a windmill near your house, your house is practically valueless.

Trump:

Here’s a good thing about a windmill: it can be taken down.

You know what’s so pathetic? You can’t really bury them. They say the blades will cause all sorts of problems.

Reporter: What do you make of the Gulf nations meeting with Iran?

Trump: I don’t care. That’s up to them. It’s fine.

Trump on Iran:

We will ultimately get out, unless we decide to stay and keep the oil! Like Venezuela.

Trump:

I know more about formulas than anybody.

Trump:

We make other countries rich. We can turn that off in two minutes.

Reporter: Do you expect Congress would need to approve the $5,000 dividend?

Trump: It’s $5,000 to all adults in the country, and we can easily handle that because we’re taking in so much money.

Trump:

Iran will end right after, maybe before, the midterms. Gasoline is gonna drop like a rock.

Trump on Iran:

Iran wants to make a deal so badly. They are calling constantly.

I am not going to make a deal that’s no good. We gotta make the right deal.

Iranian hard-liners secretly sabotaged a peace deal with the United States reached in early July by ordering attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on July 7, according to Iranian officials.

President Masoud Pezeshkian and much of Iran’s leadership were reportedly unaware of the operation.

Investigators traced the decision to a faction linked to influential cleric and former intelligence chief Hossein Taeb, who had opposed the deal from the outset.

The July 7 attacks triggered renewed U.S. strikes the following day and a major internal power struggle.

By September, hard-line generals had gained the upper hand, pushing a strategy of escalating attacks on U.S. forces and regional oil infrastructure rather than returning to negotiations.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna on US-Russia relations:

There's a lot of cultural similarities and I think it'd be really cool to open up our countries to one another to do those exchanges.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

We need to make this technology carefully, and we need to make sure that our safeguards, our ability to understand it, our ability to control it, keeps up with the pace at which the technology is happening.

So far we’ve been trying to do that by building the safeguards fast, but I think we’ve reached the point where, at least to some extent, we need to moderate a little bit the pace at which the technology is being built.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

We should go directly to even authoritarian countries, even to the Chinese, and say, "Look, there are potentially threats here that are concerning to all of us."

It’s not just out-of-control AI. Two days ago, we put out a report that people were trying to use AI potentially for bioterrorism, for enhancing the infectiousness of viruses. That’s scary.

And you know what? Even the Chinese don’t want that. It’s not in any government’s interest to have bioterrorism.

And so we should talk with the Chinese and see if we can work together to put limits — to put a speed limit — on the rate of this technology.

BIG: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

If an AI model is powerful enough, it can circumvent attempts to shut it down.

And we’ve seen that in simulations as well.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

I’m made fun of on social media because our model’s biology safeguards are too strong, and biology students complain — you know, they make jokes that we can’t use the model.

I would rather they make fun of me than wake up one day and discover that someone used our model, Claude, to kill a bunch of people.

I don’t want that. So I feel both sides of it. I feel both sides of the responsibility.
