Key Excerpts:

Sen. Banks: "[Trump] is the greatest dealmaker that we've ever known in the White House today. President Trump understands the art of the deal. He's brought Europe and NATO to the table. And at the end of the day, we're going to come up with a deal here that's going to put America's interests first, that's going to be good forEurope and really good for Greenland…."

"Let's use Greenland strategically for the Golden Dome. By the way, Much of the Golden Dome is going to be built in Indiana and it's going to be really good forAmerica to keep us safe and secure for a long time to come. And President Trump is proving once again how you get a deal done. He's the first president of my lifetime who doesn't care with the stuck -up Europeans think about him now and especially when he leaves office. You look at all the money that Obama makes giving speeches in Europe thumbing his nose at America. President Trump doesn't care about that. He's going to make deals now and do things that put America's interest at the forefront for a long time to come…"

"Thank God Donald Trump is in the White House because he's forcing NATO to do things that they would not have done otherwise, to spend more on defense. You saw that Germany changed their constitution to go into debt, to spend more on their own national defense. That never would have happened without Donald Trump, and that's good for Europe, and it's better for America. We can't be the blank check to the rest of the world when we have big serious issues right here at home that we have to focus on. President Trump understands that. So Donald Trump is good forthe rest of the world, but he's especially good for America and our long-term interests. And you get to see that on full display today…"

"Think about where we were one year ago, two years ago, three years ago with a president who was the laughingstock of the rest of the world. We have a president today who presents strong American leadership. We can't lead abroad when we're weak at home. But right now we have a strong leader who projects American strength, whether in Venezuela, Iran, toward Russia and China, or even the message that he sends to our allies and friends in NATO that they've got to step up and do more…"
