💬 🇺🇸🇨🇳 ELON MUSK: “Over the next few years, America will probably lead the AI race. After that, everything will depend on who controls AI chip production. If more factories end up under China's control, then China will win.

Right now, all advanced AI chip manufacturing is concentrated in Taiwan. If China were to invade Taiwan in the near future, the world would be cut off from advanced AI chips.

I believe that, for national security reasons, we need to start manufacturing our own chips in the United States.”

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

We have ongoing negotiations in Iran and with Iran, and that hasn't stopped.

We could have at least an idea by one or two days from now. But I think it's going well.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

You know, grass has a life just like a human being has a life.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Netanyahu:

Netanyahu was hit and he hit back and I can't blame him for that, but he was hit. He hit back and now they've called it quits.

So, they're going to just leave each other alone for another week or something.

It's been going on for a long time. You could say about 3,000 years if you really—but certainly it's been going on for 47 years.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

If we go and bomb, which we can do very easily if we want, and we spend another two or three weeks bombing, they'll have nothing left whatsoever.

But you won't have the strait open for months. Uh, if we do the bombing, you know, a lot of people are going to be killed. Who wants to do that? I don't.

And we'll get—we'll have a signed document that's actually stronger than doing the bombing.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Did you ask Netanyahu not to hit back?

Trump: No, I said do what's right, but I want you to stop as quickly as you can because they have to stop.

It had to do with Lebanon and it has to stop. We want to get it finished.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

You're really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory.

It'll be a total victory. It'll happen very soon.

"But we'll get half their oil."
