U.S. President Donald Trump presided over the first-ever live-broadcasted cabinet meeting from Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
Held two days after the resumption of airstrikes against Iran, he vowed to continue powerful strikes until Iran says it can no longer bear it.
He stated that Iran broke trust by launching missiles even during negotiations, and reaffirmed that the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran will never be tolerated.
[Trump / U.S. President: We are going to pressure Iran strongly. We are going to push them very hard, and at some point, Iran will say that they simply can no longer endure it.]
Regarding the situation in the Middle East, President Trump stated that Israel is also very satisfied with the disarmament agreement of the Palestinian militant group Hamas announced the previous day.
Earlier, Hamas stated that the disarmament agreement is conditional on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
With no official stance released by Israel, this is interpreted as effectively pressuring Israel to accept Hamas's conditions.
On support for Ukraine, he shifted from his previously forward-leaning stance back to a cautious approach.
He stated that he has not agreed to grant permission for the production of Patriot interceptor missiles for Ukraine, emphasizing the need to be very cautious due to concerns over technology leakage.
President Trump urged both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin to make a decisive choice, saying that both leaders want peace.
From the resumption of hostilities with Iran and the Gaza agreement to the reassessment of weapons support for Ukraine, the security landscapes of the Middle East and Europe are being plunged into turmoil with a single word from President Trump.
