US President Donald Trump made statements to the press during a program where he signed a series of presidential decrees at the White House. In his statement, Trump said he had discussions with all senior leaders in the Middle East, stating, "We are working to end the very, very bad situation in Gaza. We think it can happen. Maybe it can happen very soon. We want the hostages to come back, we want the bodies to come back. We want peace in that region. That's why we had very good discussions," he said.
"WE HAD A GREAT MEETING WITH ERDOĞAN"
Trump also referred to his meeting with President Erdoğan, saying, "I met with Turkish President Erdoğan here today, and we had a great meeting. I think it was a meeting where we achieved results on many different issues. Regarding what we want and what they want," he said. Trump added, "We had a very nice meeting with the Turkish side and their very respected President. We spent time, had lunch, and had many good discussions."
CHINESE PRESIDENT XI APPROVED THE TRANSFER OF TIKTOK
Trump announced that the transfer of the China-based video-sharing application TikTok to American and international companies is nearing completion and that the Chinese side has accepted the agreement, saying, "I spoke with President Xi, and we had a very good meeting. I told him what we were doing, and he approved it to continue. I have great respect for President Xi, and I was very pleased that he approved this agreement. Because we needed China's support and approval for this to be done properly," he said.
US Vice President James David Vance announced that the company purchasing TikTok would be valued at approximately $14 billion. In a statement he made alongside President Trump at the White House, Vance emphasized that TikTok would no longer be a national security threat, stating, "TikTok can no longer be used as a propaganda weapon against Americans by foreign governments." During the program, Trump also signed a presidential decree regarding the conditions for the sale of TikTok's operations in the US to American and international companies and the potential ban of the application in the US if the sale does not occur.
"WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO AN AGREEMENT AND MAYBE PEACE IN GAZA"
Trump reiterated that he also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today, saying, "We talked to all the leaders in the Middle East; they are all great people. We are very close to an agreement regarding Gaza and maybe peace. This will be a first in the region after about two thousand years," he said.
"YOU WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT MY MEETING WITH ERDOĞAN"
Referring again to his meeting with President Erdoğan, Trump said, "You will be very impressed when you hear about what happened with Erdoğan today. I think this is a great thing for both countries." Trump noted that he did not directly demand Turkey to stop purchasing Russian gas during his meeting with Erdoğan, expressing his belief that Turkey would stop buying Russian gas because it has many options in this regard. Trump stated, "But do you know who can't do that? Hungary. Hungary is a landlocked country; they don't have a beautiful ocean where ships can dock from all over the world. They have only one pipeline." Trump also mentioned that Slovakia is in the same situation, saying, "They are almost in a situation like they are married to a pipeline. I don't want people to come out and blame them."
"WE CAN EASILY AGREE ON F-35s WITH TURKEY"
Trump said, "Turkey has many options. Erdoğan is a great President, a very smart man, and he will do the right thing. We had a very good discussion regarding military equipment purchases." In response to a question about whether there is a possibility of an agreement regarding the sale of F-35s to Turkey, Trump said, "We can easily agree, maybe we will do it, yes. Of course, this will depend on him doing something for us as well."
"IF THIS WERE OUR WAR, IT WOULD HAVE ENDED IN A WEEK"
In response to a question about the possibility of Ukraine regaining its occupied territories from Russia, Trump said, "They have a chance because I look at Russia, I look at what Russia is doing. I am not happy with what Russia and President Putin are doing. I am not pleased. They are killing people for no reason, and they are doing very poorly. Despite putting everything on the line, they are doing very poorly. Their economy is in terrible shape. They are bombing everywhere, but they are gaining very little land. In fact, they are losing some areas. This war has greatly damaged Russia's reputation. This war should have been over. If this were our war, we would have ended it in a week. But now they are entering the fourth year. They have been fighting for four years. Look at what they have gained in the last month; almost nothing," he said.
"I WILL NOT ALLOW ISRAEL TO ANNEX THE WEST BANK"
In response to a question about Israel's plans to annex the West Bank, Trump said, "I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. That will not happen."
When asked whether he discussed this issue with Netanyahu, Trump said, "Yes. But I do not allow it. Whether I talk about it or not, it is so. I spoke. I do not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Enough is enough. It is time to stop."
