“The problem is to actually be able to prevent terrorist attacks, you need to have a really good and efficient system of intelligence sharing and intelligence gathering. Trust is needed inside the home agency and with agencies of other countries, as is good coordination. That's where you have problems.”

“All war crimes [committed] by the Kyiv regime are thoroughly documented. We were well aware of these crimes. And, of course, we will make sure that those behind these crimes are duly punished.”

“The terrorists' car was stopped near Bryansk, which is in western Russia, and so vaguely near Ukraine, which means that the four Tajiks in a Renault were intending to cross the Ukrainian border, which means that they had Ukrainian backers, which means that it was a Ukrainian operation, which means that the Americans were behind it. The reasoning here leaves something to be desired. And the series of associations rests on no factual basis.”

“We have no aggressive intentions towards these states. The idea that we will attack some other country - Poland, the Baltic States, and the Czechs are also being scared - is complete nonsense. It's just drivel. If they supply F-16s, and they are talking about this and are apparently training pilots, this will not change the situation on the battlefield. And we will destroy the aircraft just as we destroy today tanks, armoured vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers. Of course, if they will be used from airfields in third countries, they become for us legitimate targets, wherever they might be located.”

“Ramadan is coming up, and there's been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan, as well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out.”
“He bravely stood up to the corruption, the violence and all the bad things the Putin government were doing. Putin is responsible for Navalny's death.”
“I've had extensive conversations with the prime minister of Israel over the last several days, one hour each. And I made the case, that I feel very strongly about, that there has to be a temporary ceasefire to get the hostages out. In the meantime, I anticipate, I'm hoping, that the Israelis will not make any massive land invasion [of Rafah] in the meantime. So, my expectation, that's not gonna happen.”
“What's been negotiated would - if passed into law - be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we've ever had in our country. It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”
“These targeted strikes are a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation.”
“He [Donald Trump] told the crowd to fight like hell. And all hell was unleashed. Then as usual he left the dirty work to others. He retreated to the White House. Democracy is on the ballot. Your freedom is on the ballot. Donald Trump's campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. Trump's assault on democracy isn't just part of his past. It's what he's promising for the future.”
“One of the reasons Hamas moved on Israel ... they knew that I was about to sit down with the Saudis. Guess what? The Saudis wanted to recognize Israel.”
“That's not good because when bad folks have problems, they do bad things. China is a ticking time bomb. China was growing at 8 percent a year to maintain growth. Now, close to 2 percent a year.”
“In this critical moment, the United States stands with the people of Niger to honour our decades-long partnership rooted in shared democratic values and support for civilian-led governance. The Nigerien people have the right to choose their leaders. They have expressed their will through free and fair elections- and that must be respected.”
“When Putin, and his craven lust for land and power, unleashed his brutal war on Ukraine, he was betting NATO would break apart … But he thought wrong. NATO is stronger, more energised and yes, more united than ever in its history. Indeed, more vital to our shared future.”
“A nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies and partners is unacceptable, and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action.”
“While we are still determining the validity of those documents, I have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information. And our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies.”
“I've been hearing now for the past three months (that) China is going to provide significant weapons to Russia… They haven't yet. Doesn't mean they won't but they haven't yet. I don't take China lightly. I don't take Russia lightly.”
“An inflection point in history, where the hard work of enhancing deterrence and promoting stability is going to affect the prospect of peace for decades to come. I'm proud to be your shipmates.”
“One year ago, the world was bracing for the fall of Kyiv. I can report: Kyiv stands strong, Kyiv stands proud, it stands tall and, most important, it stands free.”
“He [Vladimir Putin] was ready to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches on December 25 and on New Year's Day. I think he's trying to find some oxygen.”
“There is preliminary information that contests that. I don't want to say that until we completely investigate it but it is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia but we'll see.”
