The ceasefire is unbelievably weak — after reading that piece of garbage they sent us (Iran's latest response), I didn't even finish reading it.

I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support.

I deal with them. I say it to them: “You people are crazy. You are crazy. You are nuts. You're not having a nuclear weapon.”

They know how I feel.

Nobody thought Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the UAE were going to get hit, or Kuwait, or Bahrain.

It was a tremendous strategic mistake, and they wasted those missiles. We have the Patriots that knocked them down every time.

This one is much harder to catch, and it’s been around for a long time. It's been around for a long time. People are very familiar with it.

I hope it’s fine.

I think it's very possible to reach a deal.

Look, I've had to deal with them four or five times. They change their mind. They're very dishonorable people, the leadership.

These people — you make a deal, and then the next day they send you a document that takes five days to get there when it should have been there in 20 minutes, you know, it's a pretty simple document.

Taiwan — If you have the right president, I don't think it'll happen. I think we'll be fine.

I have a very good relationship with President Xi. He knows I don't want that to happen. Very far away — we're just at 9,500 miles. Xi is 67 miles away.

There's a lot of support for Taiwan from Japan and from countries from that area.

Two U.S. officials said Trump is leaning toward action to increase pressure on Tehran. “He will tune them up a bit,” one official said, while another added: “I think we all know where this is going.”

Officials added that they don't think Trump would order military action against Iran before he returns from China.

Executives expected to join the delegation include Elon Musk of Tesla, Tim Cook of Apple, and Kelly Ortberg of Boeing, along with David Solomon, Stephen Schwarzman, Larry Fink, Jane Fraser, and Dina Powell McCormick.

Trump’s hopes to secure new business deals and purchase agreements with Beijing during the visit.

Our armed forces are ready to deliver a well-deserved response to any aggression; mistaken strategy and mistaken decisions will always lead to mistaken results— the whole world has already figured this out.

We are prepared for all options; they will be surprised.
