White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised US President Donald Trump's foreign policy actions during a recent press briefing, citing several key global developments attributed to his leadership. "Look at what the president (US President Trump) has done on the world stage. He has ended wars, like India and Pakistan. He continues to work aggressively to end the war in Russia and Ukraine," Leavitt said, highlighting Trump's ongoing diplomatic efforts.

She also pointed to Trump's actions on Iran and in the Middle East. "He completely obliterated Iran's nuclear sites. He has continued to hopefully negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, to end that conflict and release all of the hostages," she said. Emphasising the impact of these efforts, Leavitt added, "We've seen many of the hostages released as a result of this president's efforts."

Reflecting this, US President Donald Trump said that another 10 hostages held in Gaza are expected to be released "very shortly," amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations in Doha between Israeli and Hamas delegations, The Jerusalem Post reported. "We got most of the hostages back. We're going to have another 10 coming very shortly, and we hope to have that finished quickly," Trump said during a dinner with lawmakers at the White House on Friday (local time), according to The Jerusalem Post. The president also praised the work of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, for his role in the ongoing talks.
