🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦The United States has not provided Ukraine with Patriot missiles, despite requests from Kiev, according to Reuters.

Washington did not include these weapons in the latest package of military aid because it itself is short of them following the conflict in the Middle East.

🇮🇷🇺🇸Trump on Iran:

They made a proposal, but I rejected it.

Reporter: Do you only want outlets that support you?

🇺🇸🤡Trump: I want real news, not fake news like you. I love an open, free press. What I don't like is fake press.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Reporter: Will you strike Iran after the midterms?

Trump: I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they're losing so badly.

They want to make a deal, and I think that's fine. I like making a deal, too, but that deal would not be acceptable.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump on Iran:

They outsmarted themselves.

They said, "Let's close the Strait and cause a problem for the world." And then I came along, and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history.

Guess what? They don't have any money now because they wanted to close the Strait, and we closed it on them.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼Trump on Taiwan:

We didn't talk about Taiwan too much with Xi. Right now, it's, you know, fine. It's just moving along.

Xi understands very much how I feel.

🇺🇸🇨🇳Another name changing
Trump on AI:

Xi likes the idea of changing the name of AI to SI because it's much more accurate and elegant.

The U.S. is not going to be putting on brakes.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Trump on Ukraine:

You know what I want Zelensky to do? Make a deal. I want him to settle with Putin, and I want Putin to settle with Zelensky.

🇺🇸🇮🇶Reporter: How did your meeting with Iraq's PM go?

Trump: It went great. He is a fantastic man, a friend of mine. I endorsed him. He is a fantastic guy.

🇺🇸🇨🇺Reporter: Any military action planned for Cuba?

Trump: Cuba and us will make a deal. I don't think we'll need the military. Cuba is failing very badly. We want to help Cuba.

We want to open Cuba up to our people. We have great Cuban-Americans who want to go back.

🇺🇸🇻🇪Reporter: Did you talk about elections with the President of Venezuela?

Trump: I did. By the way, she was very nice, very terrific. Venezuela is making a lot of money now for its people, really a great thing.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺Reporter: Did you talk to Zelensky about Patriot missiles?

Trump: I did. I spoke to him a lot, and he's going along, and Putin's going along.

Someday, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, maybe before the heavy winter, they'll make a deal.

🇷🇺🇩🇪Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov holds talks with German Foreign Minister Wadephul.

🇷🇺🇻🇪Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

We insist that Maduro and his wife be liberated immediately.

🇷🇺🇨🇺Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

We insist that the U.S. lift its siege on Cuba and lift all restrictions on trade with Cuba.

🇷🇺🇷🇸Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Serbia is basically being forced to impose sanctions against Russia in exchange for prospects of eurointegration.

🇷🇺🇪🇺Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Europe is doing everything it can to thwart peace talks in which the Trump administration is interested in.

🇷🇺Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:

The objectives of our "special military operation" will be achieved and threats to our security will be eliminated.

Peace will reign again. This will happen despite anything that might happen.

Hakan Fidan is talking. I won’t bother covering the usual Israel this and that. We’re still selling them oil, then they say, “Let’s actually do something with the Houthis.” Then they turn around and say, “Let’s sanction Iranian airliners.” Cowardly, sold-out nincompoops.

Turkey is complicit in every crime Israel does.
