JD Vance:

I’m one of these people who actually really believes you need an honest news media.

The problem with a few of these media outlets — I wouldn’t even say it’s most, but some of the bigger media outlets — is they’re not really news organizations.

It’s not that they have a liberal bias. I wouldn’t like that, but I’d be okay with it.

The problem is that they are effectively propaganda arms of the left.

JD Vance:

If you’re going to be a propaganda arm of the left, why would Donald Trump give you special access to his White House?

It’s not a ban. It’s the refusal to grant special access to people who are engaged in dishonest reporting.

JD Vance:

I think, frankly, if we followed the precedent of the Biden or Obama administrations, we’d be much more negative towards liberal media because they were so negative towards conservative media.

JD Vance:

I think a lot of Americans are saying, well, why are gas prices so high? It’s because the Iranians continue to fire missiles and drones at commercial shipping.

This is fundamentally about the Iranians.

Turkish President Erdogan:

My dear friend, President Trump — with the contribution of the sincere and exceptional dialogue we have, we have made, and continue to make, significant progress in every area of our relations.

Following my meeting with Trump in Washington last year, his visit to Ankara in July confirmed and strengthened our deep-rooted alliance relations in the clearest possible terms and gave them new momentum.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The conflicts, wars and crises we face in our region and around the world require Türkiye and the United States to remain in close dialogue.

Thanks to the dialogue and coordination we have established with the United States, we are achieving positive results for our countries on many issues whose global effects we are witnessing — particularly in the Middle East, but also from Africa to Asia.

We are determined to continue and intensify these efforts in the period ahead.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are ready to advance the cooperation we have established with the United States in areas including nuclear energy and LNG, civil aviation and high technology.

The further development of the defense industry — traditionally one of the strongest areas of our partnership — both bilaterally and within NATO is essential.

We want to leave behind the obstacles that should never have existed between two allies in the first place and build new momentum.

Turkish President Erdogan:

I believe that very soon we will be among the world’s top 10 countries in defense-industry exports.

Deepening our cooperation with the United States in a multidimensional way, including opportunities for joint production, will be to our mutual benefit.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We take pride in our citizens within the Turkish American community who have distinguished themselves in politics, business, science, culture, the arts, sports and other fields.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is in New York for the UN General Assembly.

Lukashenko:

Even if we wanted to supply potash to Western markets today, we simply don’t have the volumes.

Everything is already contracted.

Zelensky has arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly and talks with Trump.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

You can see a photograph of Korea at night. You see North Korea — it’s dark, there are no lights.

And South Korea is completely illuminated. There are lights everywhere.

With socialist totalitarianism, it is always the same.

Democratic socialists do things a little more slowly. That is the only difference.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

Those who say Trump is weakening the West are completely wrong. President Trump’s work is extraordinary.

He must be one of the great personalities in human history in terms of the number of conflicts and wars he has resolved.

He is not appreciated in Europe, because Europe is embarrassed by the truth that it is sinking.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

Europe has too much regulation. It is overregulated.

The migration problem is terrible, unemployment is terrible.

The reality is that wokeism has created a disaster in Europe.

It seems that if people do not become aware of this situation, Europe will cease to be what it represented for the West.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

Today, I would say there are three blocs: the U.S., Russia and China. Those are the three blocs.

With Europe, there is a big question mark.

Given my alignment with the values that made the West grow, I decided to align myself with the U.S. and Israel.

They perfectly represent the great values of the West.

Iranian judicial official Hassan Abdolianpour said U.S. and Israeli vessels and cargo seized by Iran are “up for sale,” with proceeds to go to families of those killed in the U.S. war on Iran.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

I quote passages from the Torah, particularly the Book of Shemot.

For me, it is the most important story of liberation in humanity.

It is the story of two brothers, Moses and Aaron, who faced Pharaoh — the equivalent of the U.S., Russia or China today.

They succeeded in freeing their people.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius said the country has evacuation plans in place amid threats from Russia but would resist any attack.

“If we are attacked, we will fight back... we will engage,” he told the BBC, adding: “We will not surrender.”

Xi is expected to press Trump at this week’s Washington summit to halt U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, citing the 1982 U.S.-China joint communiqué.

Beijing is also pushing Washington to stop deliveries of weapons Taiwan has already ordered. One source said Xi may argue that “Taiwan is the provocateur and the sole source of instability in U.S.-China relations.”

The U.S. said in 1982 that it intended to gradually reduce arms sales, but Ronald Reagan separately made that commitment “conditioned absolutely upon the continued commitment of China to the peaceful solution” of differences with Taiwan.

Trump has yet to approve a new $14 billion Taiwan arms package, which he previously described as a “very good negotiating chip.”
