“Since there are the negotiations I won't prejudge them, but we do feel optimistic that we can hopefully bring this war, this very brutal war, to a close.”

“Hanoi is being careful not to signal a tilt too far toward Beijing, especially in areas that could displease the Trump administration. Ultimately, Hanoi is still hedging between the world's two great powers. But as the geopolitical climate hardens, the space to do so is rapidly shrinking.”

“Chinese officials have quietly conveyed that the way the U.S. treats its longstanding allies and partners in Europe is a sign of what's to come for Southeast Asia. With Trump's steep, sweeping tariffs across the region, that message needs no reinforcement.”

“It [tariff of 145% on all Chinese goods] makes a fairly bad situation worse. The economy has been grinding through one deflationary shock for several years now, and there is another shock that is imminent. The trade war is going to leave some sort of hole in the economy.”

“If there is similar willingness on the other side, and they refrain from making unreasonable and unrealistic demands, I believe reaching an agreement is likely.”

“We may find ourselves in the challenging scenario in which our dual-mandate goals are in tension. If that were to occur, we would consider how far the economy is from each goal, and the potentially different time horizons over which those respective gaps would be anticipated to close.”

“They have nothing but the clothes they're wearing, nothing to eat, nothing to drink. Many were in shock. They spoke of so many killings and corpses.”

“Ukraine's people have endured so much - not least Russia's Palm Sunday attack on Sumy. NATO support is unwavering. We will continue to help Ukraine so it can defend today and deter future aggression, ensuring a just and lasting peace.”

“No government - regardless of which party is in power - should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”

“There are no winners in a trade war, or a tariff war. Our two countries [China and Vietnam] should resolutely safeguard the multilateral trading system, stable global industrial and supply chains, and open and cooperative international environment.”

“Drones and robotics are widely considered the future of warfare, and based on everything we are seeing, the critical inputs for our future supply chain are shut down.”

“All those who want the killing to stop should put the maximum pressure possible on Russia to agree to a peace plan. We have to put the pressure, the maximum pressure, on Russia to really end this war, because it takes two to want peace.”

“This is the height of [Putin's] perfidy. It was a deliberate and calculated war crime.”

“While Ukraine has accepted President Trump's ceasefire proposal, Putin continues to show he is more interested in bloodshed than in peace. Targeting innocent civilians as they gather to worship on Palm Sunday is beyond the pale.”

“I think it was terrible. And I was told they made a mistake. But I think it's a horrible thing. I think the whole war is a horrible thing.”

“But please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead. You will understand what Putin did.”

“What the market really didn't like was the random crazy math of the tariffs. It seemed like they didn't know what they were doing and didn't care. It's a whole new level of madness.”

“The fact that the Chinese authorities had repeatedly matched U.S. tariff hikes suggested that they were in no rush to negotiate. A partial rollback of tariffs still seems likely at some point. But it is hard to envisage a meaningful reset in the U.S.-China relationship.”

“Everyone knows it is Russia alone that wants this war. Today it is clear that Russia alone wants to continue with it, showing its scorn for human life, international law and diplomatic efforts made by President Trump.”

“Companies are scrambling to mitigate their tariff exposure, particularly those with supply chains involving China. But there are only a few levers they can pull.”

“It's one of the largest own-goals in diplomacy and economics and trade that I think we've ever done.”

“There will be no winners in a tariff war, and going against the world will only isolate oneself. For more than 70 years, China has always relied on self-reliance and hard work for development. It has never relied on anyone's gifts and is unafraid of any unreasonable suppression.”

“Trump has never gone into a back-alley brawl where the other side is willing to brawl and use the same kind of tactics as him. For China, this is about their sovereignty. This is about the Communist Party's hold on power. For Trump, it might just be a political campaign.”

“I definitely think Netanyahu is trying to take advantage of what he thinks is increased room to maneuver. The prime minister appeared emboldened by Mr. Trump's silence in the face of the escalating Israeli attacks inside Gaza after a cease-fire that lasted just two months.”

“Trump has not articulated where we're going and it's hard to find anyone who's not a paid publicist for him who thinks this is a good idea.”

“We will deliver two F-16s for spare parts this year and certainly deliver two fighter planes next year. We hope to do more but we are depending on the delivery of the F-35. There is no delay in Belgium but the F-35 has delays. Once the F-35 arrives, the F-16 leaves, it's as simple as that.”

“Russia's involvement of China, along with other countries, whether directly or indirectly, in this war in Europe is a clear signal that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin intends to do anything but end the war.”

“The world as we knew it has gone. Old assumptions can no longer be taken for granted.”

“Why wouldn't a pause make sense? The risk of not doing so is that the massive increase in uncertainty drives the economy into a recession, potentially a severe one.”

“I know there has been some tough language. I know that there have been allies, for example, this side of the pond being worried about the long-term commitment of the U.S. to NATO. The Americans have stated again and again, 'We are committed to NATO. We are committed to Article 5'.”

“Their economies are not crashing. Their markets are reacting to a dramatic change in the global order in terms of trade. The markets will adjust.”

“We see absolutely clearly that the administration of President Trump, unlike President Biden, is committed to resolving issues. They are extremely respectful, they understand Russia's position, they ask a lot of questions, they find compromises. This is the creative spirit that has been set.”

“April 20 would be a good time for a full ceasefire without any conditions … because a deadline is needed, because it is Easter and because President Donald Trump will have been in office for three months.”

“This is our starting point: the Ukrainian army must be strong enough, and on this foundation, the entire security architecture is built. A meeting will take place in just a few days - on Friday [April 4] - with representatives of our partner states -- these will be military representatives.”

“This election was viewed as a referendum on Donald Trump and of course, Elon Musk. The results suggest that the influence Trump and Musk wield over American society and voters is not as strong or as deep as one may think or as they may think.”

“I think it could be very good to set them a clear deadline when they [Russians] have to answer, what is their standing, and to really show some goodwill that they also want peace. It's clear that the Ukrainians want it.”

“Talks between Moscow and Washington in Saudi Arabia not only did not result in any breakthrough; they appear to have been an overall failure. The agreements do not look like a real prologue to peace.”

“Today, it's not just Marine Le Pen who is unfairly condemned: It's French democracy that is being executed.”

“Trump officials can't help but lie. A tariff is a TAX on working families. Trump's dumb tariffs make everyday goods more expensive, no matter how his admin tries to twist it.”

“Although the possibility of direct negotiations between the two sides has been rejected in this response, it has been emphasized that the path for indirect negotiations remains open.”

“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia's fault - which it might not be - but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia.”

“We have to have Greenland. It's not a question of 'Do you think we can do without it.' We can't.”

“The reconfiguration of the alliance demanded by Trump can feel more like the end of the alliance. There is no longer even the pretense of a relationship of equals.”

“Now, one manufacturer can produce 4,000 such FPV drones per day. And that is just one manufacturer. There are more than 150 manufacturers in our country. Our capacity is to produce over 5 million FPV units per year.”

“I would like to categorically state that what is at stake in our unilateral and bilateral activities is not merely the security of either the United States or the Philippines. We are facing a common threat, which is the overreach of the Communist Party of China.”

“It must be clear that we will not back down. Strength and self-confidence are required.”

“Our target is clear. It is to achieve peace and to do this, we need to get Ukraine in the best possible place. There will be a reassurance force operating in Ukraine representing several countries. It is not Russia that can decide if a reassurance force can be stationed in Ukraine.”

“We have handed over a completed document on economic partnership. It is currently being reviewed by the Ukrainians, and we hope that full discussions will begin next week and perhaps even signatures will be put in place.”
