#BREAKING Trump says US 'just made a great settlement of the war with Iran,' adds finalization 'should get done over the next few days' with potential signing in Europe
I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.
🔴 U.S. DEMANDS ON VENEZUELA, PER ABC NEWS AND REUTERS
▪️ABC reports that the Trump administration has told interim authorities in Caracas they must meet a set of conditions before Venezuela is allowed to pump or sell more oil:
1. Expel China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic and strategic ties with them
2. Partner exclusively with the United States on oil production
3. Favor the U.S. in oil sales, particularly heavy crude
4. Hand over control of oil logistics, including tankers and shipments, to block deliveries to rivals
5. Accept U.S. leverage based on financial pressure, with officials saying Venezuela has only weeks before insolvency due to full tankers and blocked exports
6. Transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to U.S. control, with proceeds managed by Washington, according to Trump
Reuters separately confirms that U.S. officials are pressing Venezuela to cooperate with Washington by opening the oil sector on terms favorable to U.S. companies, cracking down on narcotics trafficking, halting migration flows, expelling Cuban security personnel, and ending cooperation with Iran, with U.S. officials demanding visible progress within weeks.
I condemn the US’ illegal aggression against Venezuela & the illegal abduction of its leader & his wife. Every Venezuelan life lost is a violation of the right to life. President Trump should be impeached & investigated for the alleged killings https://t.co/3OjWtOQ1hE
#Communique | Venezuela denounces and condemns the colonialist threat that seeks to affect the sovereignty of its airspace, constituting a new extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the people of Venezuela.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela repudiates with absolute force the public message spread today on social networks by the President of the United States, in which he intends to apply extraterritorially the illegitimate jurisdiction of the United States in Venezuela by unusually trying to give orders and threaten the sovereignty of national airspace, territorial integrity, aeronautical security and the full sovereignty of the Venezuelan State.
To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

.@POTUS: "Gaza, we believe, is going to be a much safer place, and it's going to be a place that reconstructs — and other countries in the area will help it reconstruct because they have tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that happen."
Following the political echelon’s instructions and due to the situational assessment, the IDF has begun operational preparations ahead of the implementation of the agreement. As part of this process, preparations and a combat protocol are underway to transition to adjusted deployment lines soon.
The IDF continues to be deployed in the area and prepared for any operational development.
Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation. The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics - headed to America to poison our people.
Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route. These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!

Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East! They have killed (and made lives unbearably miserable), culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, babies, woman, children, old people, and many young men and women, boys and girls, getting ready to celebrate their future lives together. As retribution for the October 7th attack on civilization, more than 25,000 Hamas “soldiers” have already been killed. Most of the rest are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, just waiting for me to give the word, “GO,” for their lives to be quickly extinguished. As for the rest, we know where and who you are, and you will be hunted down, and killed. I am asking that all innocent Palestinians immediately leave this area of potentially great future death for safer parts of Gaza. Everyone will be well cared for by those that are waiting to help. Fortunately for Hamas, however, they will be given one last chance! Great, powerful, and very rich Nations of the Middle East, and the surrounding areas beyond, together with the United States of America, have agreed, with Israel signing on, to PEACE, after 3000 years, in the Middle East. THIS DEAL ALSO SPARES THE LIVES OF ALL REMAINING HAMAS FIGHTERS! The details of the document are known to the WORLD, and it is a great one for ALL! We will have PEACE in the Middle East one way or the other. The violence and bloodshed will stop. RELEASES THE HOSTAGES, ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING THE BODIES OF THOSE THAT ARE DEAD, NOW! An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time. Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Con il piano di pace per il Medio Oriente proposto dal Presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, si è finalmente aperta una speranza di accordo per porre fine alla guerra e alla sofferenza della popolazione civile palestinese e stabilizzare la regione. Un equilibrio fragile, che in molti sarebbero felici di poter far saltare.
Temo che un pretesto potrebbe essere dato proprio dal tentativo della Flotilla di forzare il blocco navale israeliano. Anche per questo ritengo che la Flotilla dovrebbe fermarsi ora e accettare una delle diverse proposte avanzate per la consegna, in sicurezza, degli aiuti.
Ogni altra scelta rischia di trasformarsi in uno strumento per impedire la pace, alimentare il conflitto e colpire così soprattutto quella popolazione di Gaza alla quale si dice di voler portare sollievo. È il tempo della serietà e della responsabilità.
.@POTUS: "To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for a new international oversight body — the Board of Peace... which will be headed, not at my request... by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States."
