US President Donald Trump expressed his belief that Iran should never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, while he showed greater understanding towards North Korea. When asked by a reporter in Washington why Iran should not have nuclear weapons but North Korea should, Trump stated that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is his friend and possesses extensive nuclear capabilities.
Trump added that as long as he is in power, Kim will be well taken care of because Kim respects and likes him. Trump plans to travel across the country in the 32 days leading up to the November midterm elections to campaign for Republican candidates. The campaign tour will start this Thursday in Texas and continue to Ohio and various other locations, though not all planned stops have been disclosed.
Some prominent Republican politicians and candidates have recently distanced themselves from Trump, calling for an end to the war in Iran or a relaxation of his immigration policies. During a meeting with leading figures in the American artificial intelligence (AI) industry, Trump praised Google CEO Sundar Pichai in an unusual manner, calling him a "monster" but positively implying that no one knows about it.
Pichai later spoke about a voluntary agreement to develop and control artificial intelligence, committing to various processes and controls similar to those used in other areas of the company, such as financial audits. This approach aims to apply established methods to the development of so-called superintelligence. The exact wording of the new agreement has not yet been disclosed.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani countered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accusations of anti-Semitism with the presentation of a strategy to combat anti-Semitism. The strategy includes providing more funding for protecting Jewish institutions, preventing anti-Semitism, and supporting Jewish traditions and holidays.
The strategy does not address the Middle East conflict, which Netanyahu criticized Mamdani for repeatedly falsely accusing Israel of committing genocide at the United Nations General Assembly.
