U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

Look, Trump is simply not going to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons.

Not only would that destabilize the region, but it would forever drive up energy prices.

You commented on how low gasoline prices were at the end of last summer. That’s what Trump energy policies do.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

In the conflict, yes, this has taken some energy resources out of the marketplace.

It is causing a short-term sacrifice for Americans right now.

But this is to end Iran’s ability to forever drive up energy prices.

Netanyahu:

We are facing a global attack on the State of Israel and on the Israel Defense Forces.

In this attack, they portray the State of Israel and Israel’s soldiers not only as perpetrators of war crimes — which is the greatest absurdity imaginable to say about the most moral army in the world — they also portray the State of Israel as persecuting minorities.

The State of Israel is like an island of progress, an island of tolerance, an island of security.

I say this regarding all communities.

Netanyahu:

The State of Israel is the only place where the Christian community is flourishing and growing — the only place in the Middle East.

Everywhere else, they are persecuted, they emigrate, or they are slaughtered.

Only here do they find their place, their home.

Netanyahu:

We are not only protecting Christians. Christians are defending us!

Q: Would you be brave enough to put a timeline on when energy prices come down?

Chris Wright: I certainly can't predict Iranian behavior.

Yemen’s Houthis say they shot down a Saudi Wing Loong 2 armed surveillance drone while it was carrying out “hostile activities” over Yemen’s Marib province.

Poland’s Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz singled out Türkiye as the model to follow on defence industry:

Türkiye's SSB cannot be compared to any other institution in the world, because it is a comprehensive institution.

They not only produce and buy for their own needs, but they also export and promote that export. This is a model that we want to implement in Poland as well.

Türkiye has made a gigantic leap over the last twenty years. It used to produce twenty percent of the equipment for its own needs, buying eighty percent abroad.

Today, it’s the exact opposite.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

18 million barrels of oil and oil products went through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

Thank God we have President Trump with some common sense on energy.

Putin:

Victory is forged by our heroes on the battlefield. It is brought closer by everyone who honestly works for the homeland and understands their responsibility for its future.

And participation in the upcoming voting is also a responsibility and a contribution to strengthening the country.

Your choice and will will once again show that behind us and our fighters stand millions of people, that we are a united people, united by common values, historical memory, and love for the homeland.

No one will succeed in splitting and intimidating us, or in undermining our statehood and socio-political system.

Putin:

The vote of every single voter matters.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Gaza:

The IDF is prepared, once the order is given, to eliminate Hamas and finish the job, so that we can also implement the migration plan.

JD Vance to voters:

Give us another chance, or give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things that we've been doing for the past two years.

Andy Burnham has been forced to scale back hopes for a major EU reset after Brussels signaled greater interest in closer ties with Canada.

Ursula von der Leyen asked Canada to become the EU’s first “associate member,” putting Ottawa ahead of the UK in improving relations.

Labour figures are disappointed, having concluded the EU is unlikely to offer better terms than those secured under the Conservatives.

London also remains frustrated over the UK’s exclusion from the EU’s SAFE defense initiative.

NATO's Rutte:

There was a casual assumption made by many that our biggest friend and ally would always provide most of the muscle and pick up the bill no matter what.

It is neither right nor realistic to expect so much from one country, even when that country is the United States.
