We've received a long letter from President Herzog's office denying that he went to Epstein's island.

In fact, denying unequivocally that he had any contact with Epstein ever. They didn't know each other. They'd never emailed with each other, never been in the same room. They had no relationship of any kind.

I've gotten a lot of letters like this over the years from people alleging, "Oh, you got it wrong." But rarely do you get a denial this unequivocal. And so for that reason, we are taking it seriously. There's nothing worse than impugning the reputation of an innocent man.

Of course, I don't know that Isaac Herzog was on the island. I was referring to that email and the protest against him, but I don't know that and I didn't mean to suggest that I do know that.

Again, President Herzog says he's never had any contact with Epstein ever.

Germany must return to affordable and secure energy. That includes returning to nuclear power.

We must buy oil and gas where it is cheapest — and that is in Russia.

We want a dialogue. We want an exchange, a level of conversation with the U.S. and also with Russia.

Because peace in Europe is only possible with Russia, not without it, and that's why we have always considered our relationship with Russia to be wrong.

End this senseless dying in Ukraine.

Why did the Western states, led in particular by Great Britain, prevent the Istanbul agreement in 2022? That would have been a better peace settlement for Zelensky than what is being discussed today.

Anyone who called for diplomacy was defamed as a Putin sympathizer. What kind of argument is that?

I would argue now with the proliferation of small drones and how cheap and effective they can be that Army aviation is just one minor user now.

Everybody is going to have drones in the airspace to some degree. It’s going to change everything.

The nature of war is the same. It’s always an endeavor of human conflict. But the character of war is just fundamentally different.

Ukraine’s calls out Hungary’s and Slovakia’s energy blackmail.

Statements from Budapest and Bratislava are provocative, irresponsible, and threaten the energy security of the entire region.

Ukraine is considering the possibility of activating the Early Warning Mechanism provided for in the Association Agreement.

Hungary and Slovakia should send their ultimatums to the Kremlin, and certainly not to Kyiv.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there.

It’s on the way!!!

I took credit for the Olympics. I took credit for the World Cup, and I'm trying to take credit for the 250-year anniversary, but I'm not getting away with it.

I'm getting hammered. I tried to take credit for three, but I'll take credit for two of the three.

We have a great leader, a great military leader named Pete Hegseth, and he is going to say grace.

He's a man who turned out to be absolutely fantastic at what he does, and you know what he does.

Dear Heavenly Father, King Jesus, we come humbly before your throne, praising you for all the providence you've bestowed upon this nation.

For over 250 years, from George Washington to President Trump, we have dedicated this nation to one nation under God, and certainly in God we trust.

And as we think 250 years ago to George Washington on bended knee in Valley Forge, appealing to heaven on behalf of his troops in this young nation, we've appealed to you from the beginning, and may we continue to appeal to you.

Tonight, we pray for our president, President Trump. Give him safety, give him wisdom.

Lord, we pray for our Vice President, our First Lady, our Second Lady, the Cabinet members here, all the governors assembled here as well, and our civil magistrates, Lord God. I ask that you give them the wisdom to see what is right and the courage to do it.

Wisdom is defined as the fear of the Lord, the fear of the Lord being the source of all knowledge and wisdom. Lord God, may your eternal truths rule.

So this evening, also, I would be remiss if I did not pray for our great troops, our men and women all around the globe, defending our great nation as they have for 250 years. Lord God, watch over them and protect them.

It is in your holy name, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that we pray, and we bless this food too. Amen.

It's a very expensive building, a very expensive ballroom, but beautiful — an enhancement to the White House.

They needed it for years when they had a big event when the President of China came in; when somebody came in of magnitude, they put a tent out on the lawn; if it rained, you were in deep trouble because the only part of the lawn that they could do it in is a very low section.

It would be a little embarrassing when you're sitting down with the King of Saudi Arabia, and he's sitting in a puddle with four inches of water over his shoes, which was not exactly good.

It's under construction, but right through, that's going to be a very famous portal for hopefully hundreds of years, because what we're building is really special.

It will be totally, totally tax-free; not one penny of tax will be donated to this, and it's going to be something that I think the country will be very proud of when it opens, hopefully for hundreds and hundreds of years.
