SHARM EL-SHEIKH: US President Donald Trump, while returning from the Middle East Peace Summit held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, declared that he is often called upon to mediate international issues, stating confidently, “I get along with the tough ones, I don’t get along with the weak ones.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump elaborated on his close ties with world leaders and his role in diffusing global tensions. “Erdogan’s been great with me, ” he said, referring to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “You know, when NATO has a problem with Erdogan, which they often do, they call me to talk to. And I never failed at working immediately.”

Trump also commented on the Israel-Hamas conflict. “We are talking about rebuilding Gaza; not talking about single state, double state, or two-state; we did it the right way, and our timing was perfect, ” he said, underlining the US-led effort to bring an end to hostilities in the region.
