If we withdraw from this territory like you said, for example Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, at this very moment 200,000 people who are there now will be occupied by Russians who say to Russians that these people are ready to be Russian people, and if they don’t, they will kill them or push them to the front or push them to prison.

They did the same steps in Luhansk, in Donetsk, in Crimea.

I’m not playing games with Putin. I’m ready to meet and I’m ready to speak.

But not in Russia and not Belarus, because they are allies during this war.

Belarus is a passive aggressor. They attacked us from the territory of Belarus.

For Americans, it’s difficult to understand the Russian mentality — when they lie and when they tell the truth.

I said once to Jared and to Steve, honestly, it’s more simple to recognize that they lie every time.

And it's simpler to speak with them if you know that they lie; you begin to manage an initiative in your hands.

I have a question: Why are elections in Ukraine so important for Russians and Americans — and not important for Ukrainians?

I don’t have too much free time. But I can live with it already.

I sleep with music. Only this way.

Some training, some exercises. If you have 15 minutes, good; 25 minutes, better; 40 minutes, great. I'm trying to do it four or five times a week — doesn't matter where.

I am not sure whether in five or ten years we will still have NATO in its current form.

We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.

But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.

With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.

If we take action to combat climate change, our measures must meet certain conditions.

First, if we act alone, it will achieve nothing. Climate change is a global phenomenon; it is happening all over the world, not just in Germany.

We are a country of industrial companies, large, medium-sized, and small, and I want us to remain a country with strong industry.

I am not prepared to give up Germany as an industrial location just because we are pursuing an over-rotated environmental policy.

In the end, we may be climate-neutral—that may be so—but then we would no longer have a single industrial job left. That is not my answer.

When our children and grandchildren, at the age of twelve, spend an average of five and a half hours per day in front of a screen, I ask myself: when do they actually learn something in school? When do they develop social skills? When do they do sports? When do they make music?

What is happening there is simply too much, and we must find ways to get it under control.

The American government, and not only since Trump, has repeatedly told us:

We are not prepared to guarantee your security in the long term while you do business around the world with cheap Russian gas and attractive Chinese intermediate products.

What did you say? 60%? I don’t believe it!

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.

The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.

Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!

There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.

WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Iran would give the enriched material up. They will not be able to actually accumulate that material that will enable them to create a bomb. There is no accumulation.

There will be zero accumulation, zero stockpiling, and full verification. That is also an equally important achievement, I think, a full and comprehensive verification by the IAEA.

The current stockpiles that still exist—I think that there is agreement now that this will be downblended to the lowest level possible, a neutral level, a natural level, and converted into fuel. And that fuel will be irreversible.

And I think we have agreement on that, in my view.

A peace deal is within our reach if we just allow diplomacy the space it needs to get there.

Because I don't think any alternative to diplomacy is going to solve this problem.

The Iranian regime must stop taking hostages and release all Americans unjustly detained in Iran, steps that could end this designation and associated actions. We encourage it to do so.

I hope that is not the case. We saw what happened last year. We don't want a repetition of that.

I'm very concerned [that strikes will happen during talks], like you and like everyone else.

The whole world is concerned about this, and I think the whole world really wants a negotiated deal out of this, and not to go to the root of what we saw last year.

We have really advanced substantially, but there remain various details to be ironed out, and that is why we need a little bit more time to really try and accomplish the ultimate goal of having a comprehensive package of the deal.
