Watch: Kuwaiti Content Creator Attacks Trump 'We Are Not Like You; We Do Not Hit our Neighbors'
A Kuwaiti content creator has attacked the US President Donald Trump and responded to his misleading claims regarding the tariffs imposed on Kuwait.
Trump stated that Kuwait had nothing, but money and the US had spent billion dollars to free the country after being seized by Iraqi forces.
'Kuwait had nothing but money. It got attacked by Iraq. They take over Kuwait. The rich Arabs are moving to London as you know the Kuwaitis moved to London,' 'We attack, we lose lives, we spend billions of dollars, and we get back their country for nothing,' Trump stated.
In this regard, the president said that they should take 50% of everything Kuwait makes for the next 50 years or for good.
'We should have said: we want 50% of everything you make for next 50 years or permanently,' Trump said. @l2rki

The content creator, Bu Mosaed, indicated that Gulf countries and some Asian and European countries have paid billion dollars to liberate Kuwait.
'The net cost of the Gulf War is 61 billion dollars and who paid them? Saudi Arabia paid 16,8 billion dollars. Kuwait paid 16,1 billion dollars, plus the other Arabian Gulf states. Japan paid 10 billion dollars. Germany paid 6,6 billion dollars. The United Arab Emirates paid 4,1 billion dollars. Finally, South Korea paid 355 million dollars,' he added.
Moreover, he expressed sincere gratitude for all soldiers who took part in Kuwait's liberation. US Tariffs
As for tariffs, Bu Mosaed noted that Kuwait and other Arabian Gulf countries have the lowest tariffs to the USA, which is 5 %. 'Because we work together, we are not like you, we do not go and hit our neighbors. So, instead of bullying and blackmailing for either milking Kuwait for more money or pushing Kuwait to normalize relationships with your fake state that is occupying Palestine, you should explain to the Americans why you are taking their taxes and using them for genocide, for killing women and children with the Americans' money,' he concluded.

Japan says ‘progress' but no ‘agreement yet' in US tariff talks
Japan said Saturday it was making 'progress' in talks aimed at easing US President Donald Trump's tariffs but cautioned that the two sides have not found 'a point of agreement yet.' Japan, a key US ally and its biggest investor, is subject to the same 10 percent baseline tariffs imposed on most nations, plus steeper levies on cars, steel and aluminum. Trump also announced an additional 24 percent 'reciprocal' tariff on Japan in early April, but later paused it along with similar measures on other countries until early July. Japan wants all levies announced by Trump lifted. During a fifth round of talks, 'we further made progress toward an agreement,' Ryosei Akazawa, Tokyo's trade envoy, told Japanese reporters in Washington. But, he added: 'We've not been able to find a point of agreement yet.' Akazawa said Tokyo was hoping to seal a deal 'as soon as possible.' However, talks may still be ongoing when a summit of the Group of Seven wealthy nations starts on June 15. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Trump are reportedly planning to hold bilateral talks around the time of the G7 summit in Canada. Washington's 25-percent auto tariffs are particularly painful for Tokyo, with roughly eight percent of all Japanese jobs tied to the sector. Japan's economy, the world's fourth largest, contracted 0.2 percent in the first quarter of 2025, adding to pressure on the unpopular Ishiba ahead of upper house elections expected in July.

Europe can sustain Ukraine's war effort without US, German general says
Europe is capable of sustaining Ukraine's resistance against Russia, even if the United States were to decide to completely halt its military support to Kyiv, the senior military official in charge of coordinating Germany's arms supplies told Reuters. Major General Christian Freuding said NATO's European members plus Canada had already exceeded the estimated $20 billion worth of US military aid provided last year to Kyiv. They accounted for around 60 percent of the total costs borne by the Western allies, he said. 'The war against Ukraine is raging on our continent, it is also being waged against the European security order. If the political will is there, then the means will also be there to largely compensate for the American support,' Freuding said in an interview. Ukraine continues to receive weapons deliveries approved by former US President Joe Biden. It is unclear, however, whether his successor Donald Trump will sign off on any new supplies - or allow third countries to purchase US weapons for Kyiv. Asked how long the Biden-approved deliveries will sustain Kyiv, Freuding said this depended on logistical processes as well as the speed at which Ukraine burns through arms and ammunition, but that the summer seemed a realistic estimate. 'How the American government handles further requests for military support for Ukraine is unclear at the moment. We can't say anything about that,' he added. 'In general, the US has a great interest in boosting its own defense industry. I make the cautious assumption that at least purchasing US defense goods, and delivering them to Ukraine, will be possible.' Russian rearmament Addressing the potential threat that Russia might pose beyond Ukraine, Freuding said Moscow had a clear plan to reconstitute and grow its military, and was expected to succeed in efforts to double its land forces to 1.5 million by 2026. 'They are recruiting significantly more personnel than they need as replacements for the war in Ukraine. They are producing surplus stocks of ammunition, in particular, which they are 'putting on store.'' Freuding said Russia was also ramping up its military infrastructure, especially in its western military district bordering new NATO member Finland. Any ceasefire in Ukraine could allow Russia to accelerate its rearmament efforts ahead of a possible large-scale attack on NATO territory, he said. The alliance currently believes this could occur from 2029. 'Of course, a ceasefire could change the threat situation,' Freuding said. Russia denies planning to attack NATO and says it is waging a 'special military operation' in Ukraine to protect its own security against what it casts as an aggressive, hostile West. Germany has provided a total of 38 billion euros ($43 billion) in military aid to Ukraine, including funds earmarked for the coming years, making it the second largest donor after the United States, the defense ministry in Berlin says. Freuding said he was not aware of the Trump administration having endorsed any US arms deliveries to Kyiv paid for by third countries. Still, making up for certain crucial parts of US military support to Ukraine would pose significant challenges to Europe. Listing capabilities that would be hard for Europeans to replace, Freuding cited US intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data, air defense systems like Patriot and spare parts for US weapons. 'If we are capable of replacing specific (ISR) capabilities to a sufficient extent - we need to look into this when we definitely know the Americans won't provide this data anymore.' Ukraine uses US intelligence data to help its air defense, and analysts say also for targeting.
