. @Europarl_EN resolution on Sudan warns of imminent mass atrocities in El-Obeid, condemns RSF war crimes, and calls for accountability. Notably, it explicitly asks the UAE to stop financing, arming, and supporting the RSF, and calls for sanctions against external enablers violating the UN arms embargo.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman
Today @POTUS notified Congress of his intent to remove Syria’s SST designation. This is welcome news. I hope this historic decision will help give everyday Syrians an opportunity to recover, flourish, and finally move past the Assad-era of oppression.

We know Erdoğan is willing to go the extra mile to resolve the S-400 issue, after Turkey paid billions for the system and lost billions more when it was expelled from the F-35 program. At the time, he framed the purchase as Turkey’s declaration of strategic autonomy from the West. Today, those billions are gone, people are being jailed because they MIGHT protest the very West Ankara once vilified and Turkey’s media watchdog is warning TV channels against critical coverage of NATO. That dramatic reversal is the real story. What a time to be alive. With my comments 👇

Reposting, as this issue is getting some traction now as to why a real AF1 is coming on station…. With added notion that perhaps there was some threat reporting as well. But bottom line is at the Qatari origin bridge aircraft is not yet suitable for international travel for the president. Which is something that those of us in the ntl security world immediately saw as a very real possibility, last week. The vanity project met reality.
Marc Polymeropoulos@Mpolymer

I called it couple days ago. On here, plus during a @MSNOWNews hit….so reason finally took hold, Qatar Force One not equipped with appropriate comms/force pro/security package for intl duty…Secret Service and USAF pleas must have won out, over Trump’s vanity project…Turkey a high CI threat environment plus we back to war with Iran. The post below is of course ridiculous fluff… the bridge aircraft just not ready for prime time overseas… though I’m sure it’s very comfy…

A big step in US-Ukrainian relations: Patriot missile co-production with Ukraine. The more such with key allies (Poland, Germany, +) & friends the better. Good security& good business to advance the Free World. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

This is a big boost for the army, but I cant believe that Abiy or his Emirati backers are going to softly retreat from their position. To paraphrase Churchill, this feels like more the end of the beginning than the beginning of the end.

The Sudanese army has recaptured the strategic border town of Kurmuk in the Blue Nile region following fierce battles against an alliance of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and SPLM-N fighters. sudantribune.com/article/315994

Congressman Jared Moskowitz
Turkey bought Russian air defenses, cozied up to our adversaries, and antagonized our allies. Doesn’t exactly scream “reliable partner” to me. I’m not going to sit quietly while the administration hands Ankara our most advanced fighter jets. This is a slap in the face to every ally we’ve asked to trust us, and I’m not letting it slide.
The Floridian@Floridianpress

Turkey wants back into the F-35 program. Rep. Jared Moskowitz is joining 16 Democrats pushing to block it, warning the U.S. should not reward Turkey after years of antagonizing allies and deepening ties with countries opposed to American interests. @JaredEMoskowitz floridianpress.com/2026/07/jared-…

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
I met with President of Poland Karol Nawrocki @NawrockiKn. It was an important and necessary conversation. We spoke for more than an hour. We face one common threat – Russia. And it is critical to maintain mutual understanding, support, and unity of action. Our countries need only strong relations. We agreed to continue our dialogue.

Trump on question of communism: "One thing that happens when you go communist, you never come back, never comes back, you die in squalor, you die, you die a horrible death, you die in squalor, and it gets very evil and very nasty."

Trump on reporter shouting question: "He's a handsome guy, but he's very insecure. Go ahead. Do you want to shout it out?" Reporter speaks off mic then: "and yet the Iran war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you apparently unable to end the Iran war?"

Best case scenario for NATO members, hearing Trump's remarks? "The, the unity in that room was incredible. The, really, I love it was sort of pretty wild. There was a love in that room that was great. So this was a tremendously successful summit," Trump said.

Trump suggests he wants to Patriots and Tomahawks produced within one to two weeks. "We have to produce it faster for other countries, for everybody, including ourselves... instead of waiting for a year or two years, we'll be having it on a two week wait, maybe a one week wait"

Trump: "They said, 'We love, sir, we love you.' These are grown people saying that. Isn't that nice? Maybe, I don't know, maybe they're trying to get to me and in a way they did, because there was tremendous unity in that room."

Trump: "If you could have seen the respect and the love in the room, and it's love, really, for the country, for our country. I don't want to say me, because you'll say, 'Oh, he's so conceited, he's such a conceited person,' but they do, I mean, they like the job I'm doing...
