it’s amazing watching the gulf states have a competition to see who can come up with the highest made-up number. Saudis said $600B, Qataris $1.2T, now the Emiratis say $1.4T.

Unable to conquer Ukraine, Putin wanted Trump to gift wrap it for him. He is also trying fake negotiations to rebuild his depleted forces & escape sanctions that are rattling Russia's economy and his grip on power. It's time to finish him off and end the war.
Japan realized that if they just hold out, Trump will cave, spin it as a win, and they won’t have to even make the minor concessions they were planning to make.
Spoke with @POTUS together with President Macron, Federal Chancellor Merz, Prime Ministers Starmer and Tusk. We discussed the meeting in Istanbul.

Lutnick: We will build these automated high-tech factories of the future. These AI things suck water. They need a plumber but not a plumber plumber. An HVAC specialist that starts in a 100 grand. We have to train people for the AI revolution. pic.twitter.com/1M8y2XAUki
