During remarks at the 74th Annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington this morning, President Donald J. Trump joked about Iran, Venezuela, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan “Raizin” Caine. Trump quipped that Caine was “brutal,” adding, “Just ask Venezuela. Ask Iran. They’re negotiating now — and they don’t want us to hit them. We’ve got a big fleet heading toward Iran.” He then joked about meeting Caine at the bottom of an aircraft staircase, recounting a playful exchange about his name: “What’s your name? Raizin. What’s your last name? Caine. So let me get this straight — your name is Raizin Caine, right?”

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias described Greece’s planned missile defense system, known as the Achilles Shield, as a far more comprehensive concept than existing systems like Iron Dome or the Golden Dome. He said the system is designed to address every type of threat — from space and cyberspace to the sea, undersea, air, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles — offering a fully integrated, multi-domain defense approach. Dendias emphasized that Greece is working closely with Israel on the project, but not through the traditional model of simply buying weapons platforms. Instead, Greece plans to domestically produce at least 50 percent of the systems while acquiring the underlying know-how. “Our goal is for Israel’s highly efficient and successful innovation ecosystem to work hand in hand with our own,” he said, stressing technology transfer and long-term capability building rather than off-the-shelf procurement.

Trump announced that on May 17, 2026, Americans from across the country will be invited to gather on the National Mall to pray, give thanks, and rededicate the nation as “One Nation Under God.”
