> President Donald Trump said he does not trust Iran, while Pakistan, acting as a mediator, expressed optimism about reaching a solution to the conflict in the Middle East. Trump confirmed reports that he secretly changed planes last month while returning from a NATO meeting in Turkey because of a security threat. Pakistan said three of the four crew members killed in a Houthi missile attack in the Red Sea the previous day were Pakistani citizens. The US Justice Department also said Chinese citizen Chen Dingwei pleaded guilty to violating the Arms Export Control Act in an attempt to obtain US military equipment for China.
