There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation, and we automatically have regulation. … But the self-regulation is very important. … I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing. And they understand that they have to self-police. … I will never stifle the growth of a technology that will be bigger than the industrial revolution. We can't stifle it, and we're leading by a lot. [Asked whether the accord is binding:] I think it's morally binding.

“

What happened, what almost happened, what could have happened in the U.K. over the weekend is a very serious situation. It's one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor. … I think it ties us to the reality here, and that is, we are dealing with elements in the world, and in the case of Iran, for example, who have openly threatened to attack American interests globally. … We're going to always take that very seriously. There will be repercussions for that, if it ever were to happen or even attempted.

“

This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING! Axios' story, like most others, is a HOAX, used only for purposes of satisfying their Trump Derangement Syndrome. They should withdraw this fake story, IMMEDIATELY! [Trump, responding to an Axios report that he had offered Iran sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds in exchange for nuclear concessions.]

“

I'm surprised that they released them, I wouldn't have done that. … We know everything about [the suspects]. We would not have released them. I would not have released them. [Asked whether the suspects were connected to Iran:] Might be.

“

Soon after my inauguration, I imposed powerful 50% tariffs on all foreign steel, and now our steel industry is roaring back to life. … Everyone is building their plants here because they don't want to pay tariffs.

“

The simple answer is that clearly Iran was involved, but of course that is going to be investigated and determined. [Cammack called the arrests a "testament to the relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. and said she was "grateful" to the service members at the base and to law enforcement for taking a "proactive" stance.]

“

The arrest in the U.K. was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort. And working with the British worked out great. We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.

The Supreme Court of the United States will just not let Missouri have an Election Victory. They continuously, three times now, overrule Judges who came to the correct decisions. Thank you to the Governor, and all of the Great People of Missouri, who are fighting so hard for Fairness and Election Security. Such tremendous Spirit and Love of our Country. I won Missouri BIG, all three times, and I couldn't be more proud of doing so. A great place — I love you all!

“

Well, I hear you, Jake, but I think we need fair, and objective, and well-sourced reporting. … There are over what, 50 seats in the press room. I don't think all of them, like Washington Post or New York Times, are exactly positive towards this administration. So that's a false narrative that it's about negative reporting. We need fair and objective reporting for the country. And that's President Trump's point.

“

[Waltz, on Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump rejected:] It was a pretty cynical attempt to put something on the table that they knew was unacceptable. … They were asking for everything up front, with a promise that they would then talk.

“

Why should perpetrators of FAKE NEWS, like CNN and MSDNC, be allowed access to a very sacred place, the White House? … Despite my big Election Win, almost 100% of 'TRUMP' coverage is negative, and has been for years! … FAKE NEWS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!! IT HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG, AT A TREMENDOUS COST TO OUR COUNTRY

“

[Trump, boarding Marine One, on Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz:] I rejected their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they're losing so badly. … What they wanted is to immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they're dying. … They outsmarted themselves. They said, 'Let's close it and cause a problem for the world.' … [W]e put up the greatest blockade ever in military history.

“

Scott Bessent will not be going to be Super Intelligence (SI) Czar. Number One, he doesn't want to. Number Two, he's doing such a great job at Treasury, and that's where I want to keep him!

“

The meeting was one of Friendship, Strength, and Success, for both China and the U.S.A. We will be meeting again in November, in China, and then at the G20 in December, in Miami, Florida.

“

A big day with President Xi of China. Super Intelligence (SI) will be a big topic of discussion, but I want to leave it exactly where it is. That is China's position also. Our guardrail is the DOJ!

“

CNN and MSDNC, to show you how fake they are, today refused to cover one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years, the arrival at the White House of the Highly Respected President of China, Xi Jinping, and his beautiful wife, Madam Peng. The event was magnificent — Actually made for Television but, because they're Fake News, and because they knew how good it would be, they didn't want credit to be given to 'TRUMP,' they refused to be there. … That's why they have such poor Ratings.

“

Such a great honor. In May, we had the great privilege of visiting you in Beijing. … From the time of my first election in 2016, President Xi and I have forged a friendship, a truly great friendship. … May all of our people know a future of harmony, peace and success.

“

It shouldn't be complicated. Men do not belong in women's sports.

“

In order to solve problems, you have to meet with the people that you disagree with or the people that you might have some issues with. So we've invited President Putin to the G20. We think it's an opportunity for him to engage not just with the president, but with other world leaders. We hope that's an invitation he'll accept.

“

There's a lot that needs to be fixed in order for Venezuela to be successful. Debt restructuring is key to that. … [Venezuela has] probably the world's largest sovereign debt that has to be restructured, [and] it has to be done in the right way. [Rubio called the meeting "short but important."]

“

The Iranians are under this illusion that Democrats are going to win in November, and the president will no longer be able to do things against them. … Iran can never have a nuclear weapon: Everything emanates from that.

“

I think both sides have expressed an interest in some limited ceasefire that involve grain and energy. Obviously, you know, that won't be easy either. [Rubio spoke after meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the U.N.]

“

Me cae como una patada en el hígado. … A mí me molesta cuando el presidente Trump dice cosas positivas de Delcy. … No es un esfuerzo para darle legitimidad a ella o para mantenerla en el poder, sino para mantener el proceso de la transición. [Translation: "It hits me like a kick in the liver. … It bothers me when President Trump says positive things about Delcy. … It is not an effort to give her legitimacy or keep her in power, but to maintain the transition process."]

“

I don't want to mischaracterize this as a major breakthrough. … But at the same time, I think it was significant that at least there was a conversation. … I think the Iranians misread our system. I think the Iranians are under this illusion that Democrats are going to win in November and the President will no longer be able to do things against them. I just don't think they understand our system very well.

“

This is not about Taiwan in specific, but when we sell something, that means we don't have it anymore. We can get it in the future, but we don't have it now. … [A]nytime we do any sales, not to Taiwan, to anybody, it is always balanced against what are our own needs in different parts of the world, and whether we can afford to sell something because we may need it for ourselves. … The relationship between the United States and China will define the 21st century. The idea that we would not interact with them at the highest level is irresponsible. It's outrageous. We have to.

“

I think they're going to reach a deal, and I don't want to say what the deal will be. [Trump, at his meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.]

“

[Before meeting Zelensky at the U.N., Trump said of Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries:] It is a serious hit on the Russians. It's also a serious hit on the price of diesel. … I think it's going to happen. [Zelensky said afterward that Ukraine was ready for an energy ceasefire.]

“

He's sitting down with her, but I call on the president to set a date for elections. [Giménez proposed July 24, 2027, Simón Bolívar's birthday, and argued that elections are needed to unlock Venezuela's full oil production.]

“

We're not closing CNN. There aren't a bunch of police officers or soldiers kicking down the doors of MSNBC or MS NOW, whatever it's called, and arresting people and unplugging it from the grid. They're just not allowed to work from the workspace at the White House. … What he is arguing is, why should I have these people, what right do they have to be embedded in this building? They can cover the White House. They just can't have a desk there.

“

I look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland. It's been a great experience, amazing experience, and we've really formed a bond.
