FBI Director Kash Patel temporarily suspended some cooperation with Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) after Canada’s public broadcaster CBC reminded journalists of its policy to attribute the term “terrorism” to experts when describing the Sept. 11 attacks.

The move was short-lived and did not affect all intelligence-sharing, but officials said FBI meetings with Canadian counterparts were canceled, straining a close security relationship focused on terrorism and cybersecurity.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

The F-35 has also fulfilled another promise.

Together with our American allies, we will protect the peace that has made our freedom possible.

We will intensify our close cooperation in defense with the United States.

Trump on Iran:

We are winning the war in Iran very handily.

The U.S. has warned allies of missile delivery delays of up to five years as it rebuilds depleted weapons stocks after heavy use in the Iran war.

Germany and Eastern European countries face delays in receiving weapons, while Ukraine’s Patriot requests are affected by U.S. efforts to rebuild its own stocks.

The Pentagon said the conflict exposed “strategic inventory shortfalls” and production bottlenecks.

Trump:

You’re going to see a massive reduction in autism, and that’s a very big deal.

Reporter: You posted that you want to ban CNN, Politico and MSNBC from the White House. Every president takes an oath to uphold the Constitution.

Trump: I do, too — much more so than you. I banned them because they are fake news. You get so tired of seeing fake news.

Trump on Iran:

If they had a vote on lower gas prices or letting Iran have a nuclear weapon, it would be a massive landslide. People don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Trump on Iran:

The war’s going to end soon, and when it ends, your gas prices are going to drop to a level before, maybe even lower.

Trump on Hasan Piker:

Hasan Piker is a terrible liability for the Democratic Party.

He is a communist — there’s no question about it.

Trump:

It’s not possible in a world of rationality that somebody who is Jewish, that somebody who is Black, could vote for a Democrat.

The things that’ve been said about different groups of people by them are incredible.

Trump on Europe:

Russia has already attacked Ukrainian allies. They’ve been attacking Ukrainian allies for approximately five years.

I think everyone agrees with it.

Trump on Poland:

Poland has a great president. He was in 12th place. I endorsed him, and now he’s president.

Reporter: Freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment.

Trump: Thank you for telling me that.

Reporter: Are you trying to intimidate the press from doing its job?

Trump: No, no, no. I dislike dishonest press like you. I think you are terrible.

Trump:

I don't think a court should allow fake news to be written day after day after day.

I think that somebody has a right to keep them away if they are going to write false stories all the time.

Trump:

Fox has the worst polls in the whole business. I think they should’ve gotten rid of their pollsters years ago.

Reporter: China is one of the most repressive countries for journalists in the world.

Trump: I don’t know about that. I think we’re repressive also. We don’t repress, but they write fake news.

Trump:

Washington Post is disgusting. I mean, they are disgusting.

I don’t get it. Why would they be?

Trump claims the UN intentionally shut down his escalator and teleprompter during last year’s UNGA.

Trump:

If we’re going to save the Kennedy Center, I think the Trump administration should be given recognition for doing so.

Trump says his son told him he will repay a Russian who contributed to his wedding.

Trump:

They turned off the escalator. Fortunately, my first lady was very strong, and I was able to grab her back or another part of her body.

It was actually a little bit lower than the back.
