I joked with @POTUS that I had four jobs. He told me to give one to my friend @RussVought47. So I did.
I urge Iranian leaders to take the immediate steps necessary to ensure that their nation will never obtain a nuclear weapon; to walk the path of peace; and to, by extension, advance prosperity for the Iranian people.
Snapback does not contradict our earnest readiness for diplomacy, it only enhances it.
At the same time, the United States remains available for direct engagement with Iran — in furtherance of a peaceful, enduring resolution to the Iran nuclear issue.
The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.

They’re not coming here to keep Zelensky from getting bullied. They are coming here tomorrow because we’ve been working with the Europeans … We invited them to come.
I'm not saying they're going to leave that room with a peace deal, but I think the fact that people are now talking to each other: This wasn't happening for three and a half years.
So, in order for there to be a peace deal – this is just a fact. We may not like it, it may not be pleasant, it may be distasteful, but in order for there to be an end of the war, there are things Russia wants that it cannot get, and there…
In order to have a deal here to end – to reach the end of this conflict, both sides are going to have to make concessions. That's just a fact.
We're not going to be in partnership with groups that have links or sympathies towards Hamas.

That's just the way it is. And, I mean, the sooner we accept that, that's the reality.
Well, first of all, it's not just kids. It's a bunch of adults that are accompanying them.
That's why this has been so hard, because neither side, up to now, has been willing to give on some of these things.

If peace is not going to be possible here, and this is just going to continue on as a war, people will continue to die by the thousands.
