U.S. President Donald Trump presided over the first-ever live-broadcasted cabinet meeting from Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Held just two days after the resumption of airstrikes against Iran, he vowed to continue powerful strikes until Iran declares it can no longer endure.

Stating that Iran broke trust by launching missiles even during negotiations, he reaffirmed that the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran will never be tolerated.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: We are going to hit Iran hard. We are going to push them very hard, and at some point, Iran will say they simply cannot take it anymore.]

Regarding the situation in the Middle East, President Trump stated that Israel is also very satisfied with the agreement on the disarmament of the Palestinian militant group Hamas announced the previous day.

Earlier, Hamas stated that the disarmament agreement is conditional on the withdrawal of the Israeli military from the Gaza Strip.

With no official position released by Israel yet, this is interpreted as pressure on Israel to effectively accept the conditions set by Hamas.

On support for Ukraine, he shifted away from his previous proactive stance, returning to a cautious approach.

He emphasized that he has never agreed to grant permission for the production of Patriot interceptor missiles in Ukraine, stressing the need for extreme caution due to concerns over technology leakage.

President Trump urged decisive action from both sides, stating that both Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Russian President Putin want peace.

From the resumed engagement with conflict against Iran and the Gaza agreement to the reassessment of weapons support for Ukraine, the security landscapes of the Middle East and Europe are plunging into turbulence with a single word from President Trump.
