“The ongoing operation of enrichment facilities at Kangson and Yongbyon and the reported further expansion of the DPRK’s production of weapons-grade nuclear material is a cause for serious concern.”

“We can’t predict the future, but I think the president is right to say that this thing will enter a much different phase in a couple of months. He’s also the commander in chief, so he’s the person who determines … when conflicts start and when they stop.”

This week, Saudi warplanes launched more than 450 airstrikes using F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets, which took off from Khamis Mushait and Taif airbases, these airstrikes targeted the governorates of Taiz, Lahj, Al-Jawf, Hajjah, Ma'rib, Sa'dah, and Al-Bayda, resulting in martyrs and wounded of civilian casualties

In the face of this brutal aggression against our country and people, the Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah's help and grace, were able to shoot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet while it was conducting hostile operations in support of its military buildup in the skies over Marib Governorate, the fightr jet was downed using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.

In a related operation, the Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah's help, engaged with two Saudi F-15 and Typhoon fighter formations in the skies over Marib Governorate using locally manufactured missiles, these formations were searching for the wreckage of the downed aircraft and, by Allah's grace, were forced to retreat.

The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to protect our country's airspace and sovereignty from any aggression or violation by all available means, Allah's willing, Yemen's skies will not be violated.

The fabrications and lies propagated by the criminal Saudi regime regarding targeting Mecca cannot deceive anyone, they are the ones who defile it with immorality, debauchery, and the importation of prostitutes, there is no threat whatsoever from Yemen to the holy sites, our operations target their oil facilities and military bases, and are far removed from the holy places.

We cannot let our Middle Eastern foreign policy be subservient to the state of Israel.

We're going to work with people when we work with them. We're going to disagree when we disagree.

Trump has shown a willingness to actually part ways with Netanyahu when he feels like the interests of the American people are different from the interests of the government of Israel.

And I find it a little ironic Jason that you have Democrats criticizing Donald Trump for his relationship with Bibi when Donald Trump is the one president of the last 40 years who's been willing to say, you know what, yeah, Bibi's a good partner, but also Bibi and I have a different opinion on this, or Bibi's wrong about this, or maybe Bibi's right about this from the perspective of Israel, but the American people need us to go in a different direction.

Israel has been an important partner when it comes to military technology, when it comes to intelligence sharing, but also sometimes the United States doesn't always agree with Israel.

If you look at the history of Western governments in the post-war era, they open the border. They invite border invasions, but they never actually reverse it. At best, they slow it down.

I think Trump was the first president in my lifetime to actually reverse that flow of illegal immigration. I'm extremely proud of that.
