.@POTUS: "I think when we finish our meetings in South Korea, China and I will have a really fair, and really great trade deal together. I want them to buy soybeans... It's going to be fantastic for both countries, and it's going to be fantastic for the entire world."

.@POTUS: "I think China’s been very respectful of us. They’re paying tremendous amounts of money to us in the form of tariffs. As you know, they’re paying 55% — that's a lot of money... China’s paying 55% and a potential 155% come November 1st unless we make a deal."

"These guys behind me, they worked so hard and they did it with class... and it's so good to see that pay off. Louisiana's a special state... and we recognize South and North Louisiana delivering these great titles."

.@VP in Israel: "This model, I think, could serve for a foundation for normalization — not just in the Middle East, but across the world... If we get this right, I really do think it's going to be a domino that leads to a lot of further peace all across the region."

.@VP: "This Gaza deal is a critical piece of unlocking the Abraham Accords... An alliance structure in the Middle East that perseveres, that endures, and that allows the good people in this region of the world to step up and take ownership of their own backyard."

.@VP in Israel: "These are days of destiny... We have a very, very tough task ahead of us — which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza; to make life better for the people in Gaza, but also to ensure that Hamas is no longer a threat."

J.D. Vance demanded that Hamas disarm and cease violent actions, saying fighters could be shown leniency only if they stop killing. Otherwise, he warned, Hamas will be obliterated.

🇺🇸 After a successful trip, @VP Vance departs Israel: “So far, the ceasefire is actually holding, the peace is actually holding, and now we’re trying to figure out how to make it stick over the long term.”
