• On expanding trade markets: "We are opening up and expanding markets across the world … It is going to be a new era of market expansion around the world ... Countries are knocking on our door right now. They want our goods. Our agricultural products are the best in the world."

Border Czar Tom Homan on Face the Nation

• On border security: "We got the most secure border in the history of this nation, and President Trump was able to accomplish that in seven weeks."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Meet the Press

• On negotiations to secure peace in Ukraine: "We have to make a determination about whether this is an endeavor that we want to continue to be involved in … There are reasons to be optimistic, but there are reasons to be realistic... We're close, but we're not close enough."
• On sanctions against Russia: "The minute you start doing that kind of stuff, you're walking away from it — you've now doomed yourself to another two years of war, and we don't want to see it happen ... No one else is talking to both sides but us."
• On ending the war in Ukraine: "What we are trying to do is end a war that has cost a lot of money to us, to our allies, cost a lot of lives ... We just want all this to stop … Instead of rooting against President Trump, everyone should be hopeful that President Trump can bring this war to an end."
• On the latest Fake News hoax: "Three U.S. citizens ages 4, 7, and 2 were not deported — their mothers, who were illegally in this country, were deported. The children went with their mothers! ... The parents make that choice."

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent on This Week

• On trade negotiations: "Here's the stick — this is where the tariffs CAN go. And the carrot is — come to us, take off your tariffs, take off your non-tariff trade barriers, stop manipulating your currency, stop subsidizing labor and capital, and then we can talk."
• On media coverage of the markets: "There was a story ten days ago that said this is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression. Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up on the month of April, and I haven't seen a story that says 'stock market has biggest bounce back ever.'"
• On bringing back manufacturing: "The U.S. has a barbell economy. We have a very advanced financial system, we have a tech exploration and development that is the envy of the world. On the other side, we are a natural resource economy led by energy … In between is where working class Americans have lost out."
