NEWS: Trump Holds Marathon Press Conference After Iran Peace Deal

[0:01] thank you thank you it's a lot of press that's good we had a very we had a great event this [0:12] was something very special and i want to thank president macron and bridget his really lovely [0:20] wife fantastic person for welcoming us to france for an extremely successful g7 summit i would [0:28] say it's one of the most successful and this meeting could not have come at a better time [0:35] on sunday we reached an agreement with iran that achieves everything we set out to accomplish [0:40] everything and much more ending the current conflict reopening the strait of hormos and [0:48] preventing iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon that's what it was all about that was [0:53] about 99 iran cannot have a nuclear weapon they can't develop it buy it they can never have a nuclear [1:01] weapon at the same time with this announcement or close to it as people started to think it was [1:09] going to happen when iran was making some very positive statements the stock market has surged to [1:16] record highs picking up thousands of points over the last short period of time thousands of points [1:24] and oil is dropping like it has never dropped before at levels that went in numbers down seven dollars [1:34] down eight dollars didn't never see anything like that but if we didn't do this deal we could have [1:43] dropped more bombs for another three weeks two weeks four weeks two years you would never have the [1:51] harm was straight open you would never have success your market would have instead of going up at levels [1:58] that nobody's ever seen before would go down at levels that nobody ever saw before maybe except for [2:04] 1929 or whatever and you know all the tough guys tough guys don't realize that this wasn't a three-month [2:11] deal this was years in the making you know why because i was the one that killed general [2:17] solamani and if i didn't kill general solamani we probably wouldn't be talking right now about [2:24] this deal because he was a mad genius they never were able to replace him but a lot of people forget [2:33] that the tough guys you know the tough guys that would drive the country right down the tubes [2:38] the past two days have provided a chance to discuss the details of this historic agreement with many of [2:44] our closest friends and allies including the g7 nations and many presidents and prime ministers as [2:51] you saw prime minister modi was here we had a long talk he's a great guy they are thrilled that we made [2:57] a deal every one of them there's not one nation that came to us and said please sir keep dropping [3:04] bombs on them please keep dropping bonds the stupid people say that but i'm thrilled to report and by the [3:11] the way those last two days were brutal 200 million dollars worth of bombs and you know it is expensive [3:21] too by the way aside from everything else and they knew i was coming for a third night we informed them [3:26] we're coming for a third night they they didn't have their navy it sunk they didn't have their air force [3:32] it's gone not one plane they didn't have anti-aircraft equipment so we got free reign they didn't have their [3:40] leaders but they have a new group of leaders that i think is uh actually i think they're smarter i think [3:46] they're very smart i think they're far less radicalized and i think they're uh i think they're [3:54] really good they love their country you know you talk about regime change nobody will say that but [4:01] i guess that's look there one set of leaders is all gone the second set of leaders is all gone [4:07] their third set of leaders a little bit gone but for the most part and frankly i think that's [4:14] regime change i think they're going to behave much differently i think they see a different way of life [4:20] that they were never exposed to so the one thing i didn't want to see is i didn't want to see economic [4:28] catastrophe if you kept this going that could have happened but all i know is every time we talked about [4:34] the possibility of peace the stock market shot up like a rocket ship it never went down they didn't [4:40] like it the people you know the stock market is more brilliant than anybody there is including the [4:47] people on this stage other than me of course let's see i don't know what do you think scott is the stock [4:54] market more brilliant than you no sir oh that's a that's a terrible statement all right the stock market [5:01] is quite brilliant and every time we said something amazing like we're going to settle it would go up [5:12] and every time we said something negative like guess what we're not going to be able to settle [5:16] you would go down very big peter right very very big tells you something and you know i've studied [5:23] presidents some good some bad some great not too many are great and some really bad we had one just [5:33] recently and the one president i did not want to be was the late great herbert hoover i didn't want [5:41] that and who knows what would have happened but bad things happen so the past few days have provided a [5:48] chance to discuss the details of the deal with the closest friends and allies the heads of countries [5:55] they were all here a lot of them far more than the seven as you know a lot of them and they put out [6:02] a statement i think uh president macron who did a great job by the way did a really fan him and bridget [6:08] they did a great job but they all put out statements saying they love this deal because they want to see [6:16] it over and they love the fact that the hormones don't forget if we were going to drop bombs let's say [6:24] we went another month another two three months maybe weeks could be another three months could be whatever [6:32] what do you have left that may be nothing but you don't have the strait will never be open because [6:40] people that own billion dollar ships these ships cost a billion dollars they don't like [6:44] sailing ships or having their ships participate when you go up the coast and you go through the [6:51] strait and there are rockets flying over your head they want to protect their billion dollar investment [6:59] you wouldn't have oil for maybe years these are stupid people but nobody was tougher than me nobody [7:08] hit solomani you know when i hit solomani people thought that was the biggest thing to happen in the [7:12] middle east for 50 years that was the biggest event he was the the he was the boss of iran and [7:19] respected but but he was a mad genius he was a genius the father of the roadside bomb when you see [7:26] young men and in some cases women mostly men walking around without legs without arms with a [7:35] face that's been blown to smithereens it's solomani 95 percent 96.2 they say or something [7:41] 95 percent that was salomani did it happened to come from iran and i blew him up you remember that i [7:50] blew him up in the valley of death he got off his plane and we followed him and and in all fairness [7:57] because they've been wonderful to me israel but they didn't want to do that attack they were all [8:03] set the night before the attack they informed me they didn't want to do it so i had to make a [8:08] decision i made the decision to do it but they were it was a joint venture as we say in the real [8:14] estate business that was a joint venture between israel and us we studied it for a month we knew what [8:20] plane he was going to be on almost a month before he only traveled on commercial airlines big ones with [8:25] lots of people because he knew we wouldn't shoot him down they're very smart but we knew he was going [8:30] to be on that plane followed him and then israel informed me that they won't do it and i had to [8:38] make a decision i had some very good generals and not the ones you see on television very good [8:44] and i want to thank also pete hegseth and general raisin kane who's phenomenal okay these guys are [8:50] phenomenal they can't be better but i had some good generals and i said to him well if israel's not going to [8:56] do it we're all prepared do we do it do you like doing it or not he said sure if you want to do it [9:03] we can do it how well we'll do it just as well or better do it ourselves we don't need anybody [9:09] so we took out salamani one of the biggest events to happen the middle east maybe ever but they say 50 [9:17] years they say 100 years i was with the prime minister of pakistan he said it's maybe the biggest [9:24] event that has ever taken places that nobody could believe it so that's when it started it didn't [9:30] start like three or four or five weeks ago and obama wouldn't do it what obama did was he did the jcpoa [9:39] he loaded up a plane with one billion seven hundred million dollars in green cash from banks all over [9:46] washington maryland and virginia they were stripped of all their cash they had no cash to do payrolls it all [9:55] went into a boeing 757 a wonderful plane and they flew it to iran and they gave it out to people they [10:03] bribed people they thought they were going to get it done then they gave billions and billions of [10:07] dollars after that and they got a deal that was a road to a nuclear weapon i get so angry i guess i'm [10:13] allowed to get angry when i watch these the democrats they talk about it all the time we had this deal [10:20] done you had a deal that was going to give them legally a nuclear weapon and if that happened israel [10:27] would have been blown away and in all fairness to bb netanyahu happens to be a good man gets a little [10:32] excited sometimes but he happens to be a very good man we've had an amazing partnership he's been an [10:39] amazing prime minister we have a little dispute over lebanon i say you can do a little softer touch [10:45] bb you don't have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it that's from hezbollah [10:51] but it's been an amazing partnership but he will say we're the big partner and he's the very small [10:56] partner and that's true so he came to the country and he begged barack hussein obama the president not [11:04] to do the jcpoa he said it could be the end of israel and it would have been if i didn't come along [11:12] and obama didn't listen to him bb actually went to congress and pleaded with them and he got nowhere [11:21] and they had this horrible deal that was horrible for israel horrible for israel and that's where it [11:29] stood and then i came along and i terminated that deal it had very little time left you know it was a [11:35] short-term deal you know with countries you need hundreds of years you don't need eight years and [11:41] nine years this isn't like you're signing a lease on a candy store the corner you need hundreds of [11:47] years this was a short-term lease it expired long ago had i let it run it expired you wouldn't have [11:53] been around a lot of people wouldn't have been around but israel would have been terminated i think the [11:58] whole middle east would have been terminated you saw that when everybody was shocked that all these [12:02] missiles they were aimed at these different places qatar saudi arabia uae think of it bahrain [12:12] kuwait they got hit nobody thought that was even i i didn't think it was going to happen they didn't [12:17] think it was going to happen they were going to take out the entire middle east including israel [12:24] and if they had a nuclear weapon they would have used it with it within moments after getting it [12:30] so i made it very tough for them when i terminated the barack hussein obama catastrophe jcpoa one of the [12:38] worst deals nafta might have been worse but that was worse economically this deal was really dangerous [12:45] what he did he gave them everything including a lot of money which we don't give them by the way [12:50] just in case you have any question we'll be giving this out so you can read it and you can see and it's [12:56] a memorandum of understanding if it doesn't get done in 60 days that's all right we go back to bombing [13:01] you know i don't want to do that because it's so good but uh we might have to because we're never going [13:08] to let them have a nuclear weapon but they've agreed not to and you'll see that very clearly in [13:13] the agreement but then the second phase of that was uh they were building or they were enriching [13:19] material as they say i call it nuclear dust they were enriching material under granite mountains [13:25] granite being for those not in the construction business granite being a very strong the strongest [13:31] stone it's uh not as pretty as marble but it's much more it's much stronger it's a lot [13:39] stronger like the new granite i put on the stairs of the white house going to the oval office the [13:44] black granite it's rated one million years plus no marbles rated that marbles rated a hundred years [13:52] if it's if it's outside so these are granite mountains and the b2s came along and they hit those air [14:00] shafts in the dark at one o'clock in the morning with no moon they had a beam going right up everyone [14:05] those guys did a job and then they were criticized by certain members of the press like cnn [14:11] for possibly not doing that much damage and it turned out that the damage was far greater those [14:18] mountains collapsed right on top of everything nobody's going to get that for a long time unless [14:22] we want to get it we will get it but we're the only ones that can and they say china has the equipment [14:27] to get it and we have the equipment to get it and it's actually not valuable not a lot of value but [14:33] would like to get it psychologically but nobody's touching it we also have cameras that's what space [14:38] force is we have the best we have the greatest military in the world by the way but i'm proud of [14:43] space force because i started it we have space force cameras on every single door every well there are [14:49] no doors have been pretty well shattered but every area of that if somebody walks in and he's got a [14:55] badge with his name on it like mohammed something which is about a 50 50 guess mohammed something they [15:03] can tell the name they can give you a serial number they we can see things you wouldn't believe the [15:09] quality of the stuff that we have that's why we've been so successful that's why our blockade [15:15] will go down in the annals of history is being unbelievable nobody's ever seen a blockade like [15:20] that just it's like a steel wall so what happened is we then terminated that and i call it the nuclear dust [15:29] and that was the end of that but if we didn't hit that with the b2 bombers or if it wasn't successful [15:34] they would have had a nuclear weapon a nuclear bomb at a very high level not the highest but it would [15:40] have been a very high level we have much bigger but we hope that we're never going to have to use it we [15:46] have the most russia has second china is very far behind but going to catch up unfortunately you know [15:53] they're catching up but we have the most we have the most powerful but we also have the most but [16:00] russia is not far behind and then you have china in third place but they'll within five years they'll [16:05] be probably even and we ought to make a denuclearization deal would be so great we don't need all of that [16:14] we don't need to be able to blow up the whole world 300 times over it's terrible it's really if we [16:22] could do a de-nuke deal i'd love it and one of those two is very willing to do it i will tell you [16:28] the other one is less willing to do it and you need all of them so the deal we reached with iran on [16:35] sunday will be signed shortly tomorrow maybe the next day i think you know subject deals all my my whole [16:43] life is all about deals that's all i ever did is make deals and crazy things happen with deals i've gone [16:50] into deals where it's a guarantee no way it can not be signed and it doesn't get said and i've gone [16:58] into deals that you have no chance of making and they go like nothing so but we're going to [17:04] most likely sign a deal they want to sign a deal and they've been acting very appropriately they took a [17:12] big two hits last week those were two very big hits so importantly iran has agreed that they will [17:19] neither produce nor procure a nuclear weapon neither produce because originally they said they talk [17:27] about that that they will not develop a nuclear weapon and some people found it okay these guys [17:32] didn't in all fairness but some people but i didn't like it said it won't develop i said what happens if [17:37] they should buy i don't know it's pretty very dangerous for somebody to sell because whoever sells them [17:42] a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves if they sold a nuclear weapon only a few they could do [17:48] it they would be nuked they wouldn't have that country loan so it's a very dangerous thing for [17:53] somebody to do but i wanted it in there so it's develop procure buy anything and you'll see that [18:03] when you see the agreement but it's appropriate that we release the agreement and we did send a copy [18:08] to israel by the way they've been a good partner again i think they could do better with respect to [18:15] hezbollah i'm not saying they shouldn't protect themselves i'm saying when two drones are shot into [18:23] the desert and drop harmlessly you don't have to knock down buildings in beirut they could behave [18:31] better and frankly they could do a better job uh i i love them as a partner they were terrific [18:38] but they could do a much better job with hezbollah on that i don't think they're doing well and i feel [18:44] very bad for lebanon lebanon's been you know it was a great culture it was a great they had the [18:50] professors the doctors the lawyers it was an incredible culture maybe the highest in the middle [18:54] east for years and years centuries and for the last 50 60 years they have been just trashed they have [19:03] been they have been living in hell so they'll work closely with us to turn over the so-called enriched [19:12] material that's very deep in the bowels of the earth very deep nobody can get it so it's not [19:19] important that we do it quickly but we could do it fairly quickly when we have a chance we'll do it but [19:24] in the meantime we have cameras on every inch of it nobody can do it and if they do we'll hit them [19:28] with patriots that's all and they'll be gone and they know that technical discussions and the removal [19:35] of all stockpiles of enriched materials will begin immediately we're going to start that immediately [19:41] and unlike barack hussein obama who sent iran pallets of cash and any relief they receive [19:48] under this deal they'll have to get based on merit and it won't be from us we don't have to give them [19:53] anything but some people may want to invest like what are you going to do say you can never ever [19:59] invest in a country i mean it's pretty tough i don't mind being tough but it's pretty crazy you can [20:05] invest in a country you can invest in any country you want but you can't invest there well they need [20:11] investment because we did a trillion and a half maybe two trillion dollars worth of damage [20:17] so somebody's going to have to help them out there's no guarantee about helping them out and could [20:23] be their neighbors will help them out a little bit i don't know but it's a lot of money almost nobody [20:28] has that kind of money that's the kind of damage that was done but we're not investing any money there [20:33] was a fake story there was a fake news story that got a man a person a good person jd made a statement [20:41] it was a perfect statement and they reported it in a very strange way but that's because that's why [20:47] it's fake news i guess so we don't give them money we don't give them any of that and what happens is [20:55] with time if they behave if they be a a citizen of the world a reasonable citizen of the world and i [21:02] think this group again i think i didn't do this for regime change but i think this group is regime change [21:09] i mean hey the first group is dead one little morning having breakfast the whole group they [21:17] thought they'd never be caught because we never bombed during breakfast but we bombed and they [21:23] all 88 people and i'm not proud of that at all but the second group came in and they were very [21:29] unreasonable too and they were all gone they were all gone and then the third group we've been dealing [21:35] with a couple couple left this planet but we've been dealing with them and again they've been fine i [21:42] mean i've had a lot easier i've had some easier ones they're tough they're smart maritime traffic [21:51] through the strait of her moves has already increased very substantially and the normal flow of energy will [21:58] resume in the coming days and and uh trillions of dollars will be made by the world and the stock market [22:05] will i believe continue to rise the only difference is that a player that's very volatile very tough very [22:13] smart frankly you know they have in one way a primitive culture but it's also a genius primitive culture [22:20] they're very smart people very good negotiators but so away so rather than possibly going into a [22:29] depression rather than having your favorite president be herbert hoover i was always the one [22:37] i didn't want to be i wouldn't have preferred nixon i wouldn't have preferred nearly plenty i wouldn't [22:43] prefer but the one i always thought of herbert hoover and he caused it he raised taxes too fast and he raised [22:51] interest rates too fast all at the same time and it caused the great depression so i don't think i'll make [23:00] mistakes like that i lower taxes i don't raise taxes in fact we just gave you the largest tax decrease [23:05] largest tax cut in the history of our country so we'll be working on a parallel effort with the gulf [23:12] nations to address non-nuclear issues such as the conventional ballistic missiles which we'll be [23:18] talking about and support i mean they have to have some because other people have some you got to have [23:24] some somebody said you shouldn't give them one and i have guys i like some of these guys but i don't [23:31] think this i don't think they're smart sir you shouldn't let them have any missile i said well [23:37] what am i going to do we're going to let saudi arabia have missiles but they can't have them yes sir [23:44] can't doesn't work that way you know it doesn't work that way and missiles aren't the problem missiles [23:51] they hurt a little location but they don't blow up the planet so the gulf nations will address the [23:57] non-nuclear issues as we'll be talking about the ballistic missiles and we'll talk also about the [24:05] terrorist proxies that they have that we don't want that to happen but i want to thank our partners [24:12] in both pakistan and qatar these people work so hard and they knew him a little bit in the case of [24:18] pakistan quite well in the case of qatar they were sort of at odds and you know qatar was great because [24:25] they had right next to when i flew from there from that location to saudi arabia i'd fly for [24:32] 40 minutes and i'd fly to uae for 40 minutes two great leaders there by the way in the case of [24:40] saudi arabia the father's still alive and he's fantastic and the sun is going to be great [24:45] you're going to be great the crown prince and muhammad at uae is an incredible warrior he was [24:51] dropping bombs last week i said who the hell's dropping all those bombs it was uae [24:57] he's a good fighter muhammad but every administration for decades has sought to get [25:03] iran to relinquish its nuclear ambitions but the threat only got bigger the words got bigger and [25:08] bigger and stronger and bigger and nothing ever happened and iran got stronger and tougher if we [25:16] didn't blow them up the first time and then blow out those weapons they would have been unstoppable [25:21] this should have done what i'm doing and what i did should have been done years ago would have been [25:27] much easier much less firepower but it wasn't and again i want to thank all those countries and i [25:34] want to thank israel and bibi netanyahu so obviously the breakthrough would not have been possible [25:41] without the unprecedented pressure the united states put on the regime over the past year and [25:46] a half but again it started a long time ago it started with the death of soleimani that was a big [25:53] deal no president in history has ever been tougher on iran than i have and they know that and by the [26:00] the way if they don't honor the agreement or some things aren't even mentioned in the agreement it's [26:05] a memorandum of understanding but we have an understanding of certain things without [26:09] writing it and uh if they don't honor that we'll probably go back to bombing them [26:16] until they honor it you know it's amazing what bombs can do so i say it the obama deal was a road to [26:25] a nuclear weapon and let's call it the trump deal was a wall for a nuclear weapon that the nuclear [26:34] weapon could not get through nobody's going to get through it we built a wall they weren't going to [26:39] have it and that's what we have right now and it says very clearly the most important clause to me too [26:46] number one the straight opens but that's much less important than the other clause clause number [26:50] whatever five eight is a very strong statement that they will never have a nuclear weapon and it [26:58] doesn't say they'll have one in five years or 10 years or 20 years with obama they were able to enrich [27:06] very quickly this agreement now provides a run with a historic opportunity if they follow the path of [27:12] cooperation will have opened for them their country will have a chance to survive now think of it you [27:20] know they have 91 million people people want me to bomb the bridges why don't i bomb i already did [27:26] because you know they went back on one of their promises and i bombed their biggest bridge the [27:31] equivalent of the george that was the george washington bridge of iran but we bombed that bridge you saw [27:37] that one quick strike by an f-22 the most beautiful fighter jet ever made by the way in fact we're ordering [27:46] some more of them we're bringing it out because it's so effective it's incredible it's incredible look we have [27:52] the greatest military in the world those b2 bombers are unbelievable who would have thought they could [27:58] handle each had two because the flight was so long but they handle three of the biggest heaviest bombs [28:03] hundreds of thousands of pounds and they handle them like they're nothing it's amazing and also they're [28:09] undetectable they flew into iran totally think of it totally undetected now iran's waiting for them [28:16] they're waiting for them and they never saw them one o'clock in the morning they never saw them [28:23] they're stealth and we just ordered 22 more the newer upgraded version which i guess is better [28:31] i don't know how the hell you get better but as i expressed to the world leaders here this week it's [28:36] my hope that the peace agreement will be the beginning of a much larger deal all across the [28:43] middle east we're very close look at the job we've done on gaza look at hamas hamas has been very silent [28:49] you haven't read anything about hummus and we're trying to get them unarmed you know they grew up [28:56] with a machine gun in their hand i think they actually when they were born they came out with [29:01] a machine gun in their hands that's not the easiest thing but they've they've actually you know behaved [29:07] pretty well considering this was not the lifestyle that they were taught to have [29:12] but including an end to all iranian aggression and they're not going to be iranian aggression [29:18] and an end to war and terror in lebanon so the lebanon piece is something we'll have to work on a [29:25] little bit it's a very small uh piece of the puzzle actually but it still makes a lot of noise [29:31] the big deal is the iran deal that's where the money is where the power was [29:36] but they have hezbollah and you got to get that done one way or the other we'll do it i think [29:43] israel can do a much better job on it uh syria would love to do it i was very responsible for [29:50] the gentleman at syria that's now the president he's done a tremendous job he's put that country [29:55] together in a year and a half sort of like our country a year and a half is pretty similar size [30:00] they said don't please don't put him there he's a very violent man al-qaeda [30:05] he said well i know one thing a boy scout's not going to work and he's actually done a very good [30:10] job he'd love to go on it you know hezbollah is an enemy of his and he'd go in any but he wouldn't [30:17] knock down buildings every time he hears there's somebody he'd just go and get him with precision [30:24] but i don't know that people want that maybe they don't maybe lebanon doesn't we have to be guided a [30:29] little bit by lebanon and by the way the president is going to be coming prime minister president [30:35] going to be coming over to see us very shortly over the next week or two good man is you know man [30:41] is living what a tough life he's got because he's got tough groups of people and uh it's amazing amazing [30:50] there is a lebanon with all they've been through they have been treated worse than just about [30:55] i think anybody disrespected incredibly so the expansion of the abraham accords is the other [31:01] thing that we hope we're going to get and i think saudi arabia if they lead the way they'd be doing [31:07] themselves a big favor because everybody that's in it the uae went in right from the beginning again [31:12] he's a warrior and they never got out nobody ever got out do you think maybe during the war they were [31:17] all afraid of everybody was afraid of iran and that's why we ended up with the original members [31:24] but then when the election was rigged that's right and i wasn't here at all nobody cared about anything [31:32] the country went to hell in every way that was the least of it middle east was the least of the [31:37] country went to hell allowing 25 million people into the country unchecked and unvetted many of them [31:46] criminals many of the murderers 11 888 murderers allowed into our country [31:52] so this was the least of it but the past two days have also provided an opportunity to discuss a [31:58] number of other key issues with members of the g7 and our partners yesterday morning we had a productive [32:04] conversation on the war in ukraine i spoke with president putin i spoke with president [32:11] selensky and he was he was there and president putin i spoke over the phone with [32:16] and something's going to happen it was a lot of people a lot of soldiers losing soldiers both are [32:23] losing a lot russia's losing more because they're the offensive ones and when you're offensive in war [32:28] you lose more pretty simple but i provided an update on my call sunday with president putin and [32:36] expressed my continued hope we had a very good conversation with president putin and a very very [32:41] good conversation with president zelinski i think they both want to do something they just don't know how [32:46] to do it they want to do it they just don't know how in our session yesterday afternoon on [32:54] international partnerships i offered an update on how the united states is leading the world and [32:59] responding to the ebola outbreak in africa sending 375 million dollars in aid so far to help stop and [33:07] contain the crisis at its source and we've done great always with the president of a couple of [33:15] presidents came over by the way from african nations and they were so happy with what we did but where [33:22] it's unfair is we gave 375 million the rest of the world gave essentially nothing maybe a couple of [33:30] bucks but nothing and they were all saying thank you so much and i think they've done a good job [33:37] it's uh it's a terrible thing ebola is a terrible thing that's an unbelievable one fortunately it's not [33:46] like covet where it's that easy to spread around but it's rough and we've done a good job we've moved [33:54] people to certain quarantines certain locations but today we also had excellent meetings on the economy and [34:02] artificial intelligence which is uh amazing what's going on with that it's going to be the biggest [34:08] thing ever we have to be very careful with it it's both great and could be bad we have to be careful [34:14] with it but we're leading china we're leading the world on that we're allowing them to to do their own [34:19] electric plants because they need as an example those buildings are so big and they're not taking the [34:25] communities electricity i gave them the right it's my idea i gave them the right to build electric plants [34:32] like con edison in new york dig we must and they've come up with plants that nobody's ever seen anything [34:39] like them those are like very high iq people so they're actually building electric plants so because [34:47] otherwise they could never build a building because the grid is old and tired and broken and a mess [34:52] so they're building and they're going to sell there very cheaply they're going to sell their [34:56] additional their extra electricity into the grid so we take care of a lot of things like california [35:04] which doesn't have nearly enough electricity they don't know what they're doing there [35:09] and instead of having blackouts and brownouts they'll be able not to [35:12] we found a great deal of unity here at the g7 and we signed a declaration on illegal immigration [35:18] the first time ever for a g7 statement they did a beautiful statement we signed other agreements to [35:26] stop up the to step up and to really coordinate and spend a lot of time coordinating drug trafficking [35:35] and the stopping of drug trafficking which is crazy comes through mexico comes through the southern [35:39] border the little that comes through they find a way they put it their genius if they would use that [35:45] genius for for good they'd be very rich people they have it in engines they have it in hubcaps they [35:52] have it in areas you wouldn't even believe they have it in the structures of cars most incredible thing [35:59] but we've done a great job on it we have uh drugs coming through the border down 61 [36:05] drugs coming through water the sea ocean sea gulf down uh 97.2 percent that's the ones that get hit [36:16] just like we hit the iranian mine sweepers and mine droppers they call them they dropped who would [36:25] have 28 mine droppers who who has 28 mine droppers they actually had them but they don't have many [36:31] more we hit them just like we hit the drug dealers but drugs are down by water 97 and over 60 percent [36:41] they're down and now we're going to go and focus on the land they come through mexico mexico has lost [36:45] control of their country uh the cartels run mexico and it's sad and the president is a very good woman [36:54] but she's a very scared woman the drug cartels are totally running mexico it's not even close [37:02] we agreed to accelerate our efforts to secure our critical minerals and rare earth supply chains [37:07] where we have great companies really going to town we're going to give everybody a big run because [37:12] we do it better than and we had to get motivated the g7 also agreed that the united states new [37:19] approach to international development based on the private sector investment is working at levels [37:25] that they never thought possible it's really working i held a number of very positive bilateral meetings [37:30] including with the president of france with a very good meeting actually the emir of qatar [37:39] sheikh tamim who's um i tell you i wish i could really know the guy you know some people say well [37:46] he lived in that neighborhood he can't you can't be you can't be saying things that you'd like to [37:52] have him say he was fantastic on this and he's he's been fantastic guy in terms of energy and getting [37:59] energy out there president of the united arab emirates mohammed bin zayed who's an amazing warrior [38:08] president el cc of egypt prime minister modi of india we spent a long time together today [38:15] i spoke to mohammed i spoke to the crown prince of saudi arabia a number of times they're all so [38:24] happy that they're still you have to have them happy too you know we're using their airports not [38:29] that they could stop us if we didn't want them to but it'd be nice that i went to get that little [38:34] sucker but i missed i hate missing but we spoke to we spoke to all of them and many countries all over [38:45] the world so every country i think israel too look think of what israel is getting they're not going [38:53] to be nuked it's very simple i told baby bb your biggest risk was that they drop a nuclear weapon into [39:02] the middle of israel they only need one and there would be no more israel think of it baby you got the [39:08] best the most important thing that you were asking for is that so i think they're happy some people [39:15] are going to be not him but there are some people some writers some that i thought were friends of [39:20] mine but i don't want them as friends anymore because they're either stupid or they're bad people [39:27] but we stopped nuclear holocaust and it stopped too i mean there's not going to be any of that so from [39:37] the beginning to the end it was clear that this week america's back it's bigger and better and [39:43] stronger we're more respected as a country right now i think than we ever have been and we were a [39:47] laughing stock two years ago they would laugh at us we had a man that should have never been there you [39:53] know that a man that would walk up to a podium once every year and they'd ask him what flavor ice [40:00] cream do you like i like vanilla then he'd try and find the stairs which he couldn't find most of the [40:06] time and he'd leave this is very unfair reporting and then you said you didn't know about that [40:13] you didn't know there was something wrong we can never let that happen to our country again [40:17] to me the worst we had the worst inflation ever we had the worst in prices and the costs [40:24] it's all coming down now because the oil is bringing it down you're going to see numbers [40:28] that are going to be amazing but this evening i look forward to a very [40:32] special dinner with president macron and his fabulous wife at the palace of versailles i [40:38] sort of like that palace palace has a lot of gold i want to check it out [40:42] it's a beautiful palace maybe the most beautiful of all i hope you're going to get to see it the [40:46] ones that are traveling with me i hope you're going to get to see it because it's amazing but they asked [40:51] me if i'd stay a little bit longer and go to paris so i'll get home a little bit later but it'll be a [40:57] nice dinner but i'm interested to see it i love i mean that's the ultimate i guess it's the ultimate [41:03] of its type louis the 14th celebrating the 250th anniversary of america's founding and america's [41:10] oldest alliance and we're celebrating that a little bit tonight they'll have the biggest people in europe [41:16] at the dinner and those people love our country and hopefully europe's going to find its way europe is [41:22] having a lot of hard times they're doing some things very badly on energy and on immigration they're [41:28] doing things very badly and we'll be talking about that tonight so with that all said if you want [41:33] to ask us any questions and feel free to ask the people behind me yeah peter you've been clear [41:44] president trump the united states is not going to directly pay iran but the u.s is going to let [41:52] the iranians start making billions of dollars selling oil accessing this reconstruction fund only if [41:59] they're doing things right only if peter only if we're not doing anything we're not putting up money [42:07] only if they're doing things right if they're doing things right if people want to invest they can invest [42:12] but they had this 300 million dollar fund it's only 300 million dollar fund it's only if they're doing [42:20] things right remember this also when you talk about billions of dollars they've had much more than a [42:26] trillion dollars worth of damage done they got a long way they'll be 15 to 20 years to rebuild what [42:32] they have right now so uh they have to behave themselves if they're not behaving they get hit [42:38] again you know they'll be hit again because we can do it very easily it's going to take a long way for [42:43] them to build back their anti-aircraft stuff it's going to take and you know the other thing i want to [42:48] thank china president xi i was with him and he stayed neutral totally neutral and i appreciate it [42:57] and i would want to thank vladimir putin he was very neutral they could have made it much more [43:04] difficult for us and i want to say it you know somebody would say oh that's terrible he's thinking [43:08] he's thinking president xi of china well let me tell you i had a long talk with him you know they have [43:15] shoulder weapons to knock down airplanes that it's not like the real deal but they're accurate [43:20] they're fairly accurate i said i would really appreciate you're not giving or selling any of [43:26] that stuff to iran and you know what for the most part he didn't so i just want to thank them because [43:35] they made it a lot better can you explain though what the difference is between giving iran u.s dollars [43:43] and unfreezing u.s dollars well the unfreezing is an easy one to answer uh we have taken a lot of [43:52] their money and we have their money we have taken them it's not our money it's their money and we froze [43:59] it at a certain point in time i guess we're going to have to give it back you know if we didn't give [44:05] it back nobody would ever invest in the dollar again if you took their money because i thought about it [44:11] you know i'm not the most perfect person i said to scott scott why do we keep their money what the [44:18] hell are we giving it back to them but you know people from lots of nations some nations we don't [44:24] agree with they have their money the dollars become very strong under me and they don't want to have a [44:31] little conflict with somebody and end up having the united states just take their money so if you do [44:37] that you really don't have a system and i did just want to ask you about this um a wise man once said [44:43] in january of 2020 iran never won a war but never lost a negotiation that wise man who said that [44:54] donald trump that's what i thought you were going to say so how do you go back to the united states [44:58] and convince a skeptical american public that this deal is a win look here they lost militarily okay it's [45:06] very tough because i know that no matter what if i would go by the way if i'd go another three or [45:13] four weeks so same people that are critical would say he went too long he should have done you know [45:17] no matter what if they raised the white flag of surrender and if they said praise be to allah [45:26] donald trump is the greatest president ever we totally concede we totally give up this war is over [45:32] we have failed the new york times and cnn and a couple of others are not all that dishonest they say [45:38] iran had a great victory okay and they practically do that you know it's amazing when we knocked out [45:45] their last year they had 159 ships when we knocked out the last ship the times refused to do a story on [45:50] it they said what would you they don't have a navy and you don't want to do a story on it they don't [45:55] have an air force you don't want to do so we need a fair press it's and that's why they're all doing so [46:02] badly because they lost credibility when i went in a landslide and i had 93 bad press [46:08] they take good stories about me and make them bad but the only reason that happened is because they [46:14] have so little the media has so little credibility that the people voted for me 93 of the stories on [46:24] network abc is horrible i think abc is the worst nbc is terrible and cbs is terrible cnn obviously and i [46:34] never get good no matter what i do i could do the greatest thing i won't get good stories on this [46:38] i'll get it from fair media i'll get it from all over the world they're running good but no matter [46:44] what i do i'm going to get bad press i know that now if i did the opposite if i went out and continued [46:50] to bomb them for another floor just bomb the hell out of them i'd get bad press on that no there's [46:56] nothing i can do but what this does is it allows the ships to go if we if we keep bombing those ships [47:03] won't be going and you're talking about 500 600 700 million dollars a day it's a lot of money a lot of [47:11] money that's why the world is okay it's liquid it's fine also we run out of reserves in about four weeks [47:17] you know there are reserves all over the world and we would really run out and there'll be a time when [47:21] you wouldn't be able to get it and you want to see bedlam so for all those so-called geniuses that [47:26] want to show me how smart they are ask them why didn't they blow up general salamani asset of the [47:33] general and a couple of other people that i like very much but boy are they wrong go ahead [47:41] how about you thank you peter i'd give you more peter but people will say i like you too much [47:45] thank you mr president bonsoir you know he told me that first day in office he asked me like seven [47:51] questions i answered all of them is this true he said he just answered more questions [47:57] in one meeting than joe biden did in four years okay you know i'm not going to get you in trouble [48:02] but that's what you said go ahead that's why mr president in the art of the deal you write about [48:07] the importance of leverage obviously you have a lot of leverage when it comes to iran whether it's [48:11] militarily or through economic sanctions what leverage sir do you have when it comes to israel [48:18] and hezbollah to ensure that they abide by the ceasefire well i think we have leverage just by the fact [48:23] that we really have iran now has to be good they have to behave and we might help that's a much [48:31] smaller conflict it's a conflict that should be able to be over with i'm surprised it's taken so long [48:37] and it's a much smaller but we have a lot of leverage we have look we have the greatest military [48:42] anywhere in the world we have the strongest most powerful look at the blockade by the way the blockade [48:48] was more impactful than all of the bombing raids where we dropped a billion dollars worth of bombs [48:54] on iran the blockade was so incredible the naval blockade the admiral the whole thing not one ship [49:03] got through that meant no money got through they were dying they had no money they have inflation that's [49:08] 250 or 300 percent they have no money we have tremendous leverage we have the leverage of the economy [49:14] as an example we'll get that done that's that's a small one and we'll work with israel and get it done [49:21] but uh i'd like to do it i mean you have people living there buildings are being dropped on top of [49:30] them or right alongside of them how would you like to live there it's it's so unfair especially beirut [49:37] you know you're going to beirut and i i looked at the scene two days ago yesterday where they hit that [49:43] was that was a big hit that was unnecessary in my book yeah please uh two questions if you could [49:53] clarify something you said just a few minutes ago one of the goals of epic fury going into it you said [49:58] was say it again speak up sorry one of the goals of epic fury you said going into it was to destroy [50:03] iran's ballistic missiles and its capabilities to build more yeah why is it acceptable to you now that [50:08] they keep some of that capability and iran is what are they keeping what are they keeping they have less [50:15] than other nations now we knocked out probably 84 85 of their missiles the rest of them are underground [50:22] they can't even get them out you know the other night's raid i think it was on the first night we [50:26] knocked out hundreds of their missiles actually by mistake we were hitting an area and it you know [50:32] you can sort of see when the bombs are going off and then you see one that looks like wow what happened [50:37] a lot of missiles knocked out no but what are you going to do uh let's let's spend another two weeks [50:43] and give them none they don't want to be firing missiles right now they're going to have a hard [50:47] time rebuilding they're going to have a hard time rebuilding and if people from the middle east you [50:52] know if people want to invest and again they don't have to invest at all but if they do want to invest [50:57] it does have oil it does have probably a future but it's going to take a long time but are you going to [51:03] let the 91 million people starve to death i mean one of the things i was very intent on they have water [51:10] desalinization plans very good ones i could have knocked them out in five minutes just like i [51:15] knocked out cargill and i knocked out everything but the oil i said 25 it was so complete the only [51:22] thing there is the pipes coming with you up because i didn't want to ruin the world market because they [51:27] do a lot of money but um i didn't want to do that no it would have been so easy it would have been [51:35] easier and i would have satisfied a group of 10 percent of the people but it would have been the wrong [51:40] thing to do and it could have caused and it could have caused an international depression [51:46] iran's position iran's position has always been that their nuclear program was for civilian purposes [51:51] if they come back after the signing of this and say they want to continue to have a civilian nuclear [51:55] program is that acceptable to you well i've said to them always i say look you have probably the [52:00] third largest oil reserves in the world what the hell do you need nuclear for you need nuclear for [52:06] some electricity so so i've always felt that way so we've been pretty tough on that you know it's [52:12] also it is a little hard though when you say that somebody wants it other people have it other [52:18] adjoining states have it and you're not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things [52:23] like that it's always a little tough you have to use a little common sense please new york times [52:28] please uh thank you mr president for the question uh now that you're approaching a new phase in this [52:34] conflict with iran can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable [52:40] for the strike on a school that killed more than a hundred children on the first day of the war [52:44] no if it if it was a fault and as you know that's under investigation uh it's such a strange [52:52] question to be asked at this state talking about a long time ago but nobody did that on purpose [52:57] uh i guess you'd have to say about them what about the thousands of soldiers that they blew up when [53:04] they opened their car door what about the thousands of people that were killed by iran [53:09] no mistakes are made the war is nasty but uh i know it's under investigation and i could have a [53:15] report for you tomorrow or it's i'd ask i would ask pete i would ask pete hegseth that question because [53:22] they have it under investigation please mr president you've been saying all week that this deal [53:29] permanently prevents iran from getting a nuclear weapon but the drafts the drafts of the deal that [53:34] have been floating around barely mention iran's nuclear program so can you explain how exactly [53:40] the deal achieves that goal so when i say permanently it should be permanently but if it's not permanently [53:47] we will bomb them they will be bombed just like i bombed them on wednesday night and tuesday night [53:54] and was going to bomb them on thursday night at a level that was three times greater and they knew that [53:58] uh i will bomb them now that's with me as president if you have a weak pathetic president maybe that [54:06] doesn't happen but i can only do the job that i have to do i have a long time to go i have almost [54:11] three years close to three years it's time is going fast but our country's become the we're the most [54:18] respected country in the world those leaders today they said we used to laugh at you two years ago they [54:23] had the same guys they'd laugh at the country and now they say you're the most respected country anywhere in [54:28] the world militarily even military take a look at what happened in and look at look at what happened [54:35] in so many different locations afghanistan that horrible retreat that these people made leaving [54:42] equipment behind they weren't under any pressure you take your time you can get out i was going to get [54:48] out we're going to get out with dignity and pride take a hundred percent of the equipment i was even [54:52] taking the tents down but then they got in and they just left they left all the equipment i [54:58] may get all that equipment back now here's the thing more symbolic because it's a little old now [55:04] but we may get it all back afghanistan is kissing our ass you know that bomb iran if they don't comply [55:13] but there's nothing enforceable in the deal itself is that correct doesn't have to be i let him know i [55:20] said look if you don't adhere to the agreement i don't want to do that but we're going to bomb the [55:25] hell out of you and i don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement what else am i going to do [55:30] am i going to say i'm going to take you to court let me take you to court let me just let me sue you [55:35] no we're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement i don't want them to [55:40] i want them to honor the agreement again the straits close up bad things can happen you know in war [55:47] terrible things happen like you mentioned the question before about the school gets hit other [55:52] things get hit bad things happen in war war is a nasty place i see it i see it i see it better than [55:59] maybe anybody has ever seen it go ahead please thank you president trump oil prices are now [56:08] plummeting how do you see this agreement further affecting energy prices in the u.s and the u.s [56:14] economy in the long term and uh secondly mr president how do you think vice president jd vance did on the [56:19] view yesterday well first of all thank you for the word plummeting because that's what's happening oil [56:24] prices are plummeting and uh that means oil prices are going to come down you know if you make donuts you [56:31] have a heating you have a stove and you have to buy the uh the heat you need the gas or the electricity [56:38] or whatever you're using and when oil prices come down oil is the biggest thing oil is you get oil [56:43] prices coming down and they're going to come down and we're hitting into threes now for gasoline and [56:48] that'll come down a lot lower so i was in iowa just before this started and i was saying to myself [56:53] i can't believe we're doing so well but i have to go and we have to put out this fire in iran because i [56:59] don't want them using a nuclear weapon they would have used a nuclear weapon a hundred percent they [57:03] would have used it the only question is was it going to be that day or that week they would have [57:08] used a nuclear weapon they were on the way and i said we're going to have to put out the fire [57:12] and i said you know oil prices so gasoline we passed two gas stations in iowa made a speech up [57:21] there the people are great i want it by so much and i love the people farmers and we passed two gas [57:28] stations one was one dollar and 85 cents one was one dollar and 91 cents now that's iowa but it was [57:35] i mean california has all those crazy taxes that they put on you know california taxes but uh the [57:41] the oil was down to two dollars to i'd say between two and 250 and it was it was heading down further [57:50] and we were going to have a great run we took a little journey down to a place called [57:55] the islamic republic of iran and we bombed the hell out of them and now they can never have [58:01] a nuclear over now we had a disturbance but i must say it was much less than anybody thought [58:09] they all never went to 350 dollars a barrel it went to 115 120. they all never went anywhere near [58:16] that and the other thing i thought the stock market would go down 25 or 30 percent the stock market [58:23] a week ago before we started this was higher than it was when we started which tells you that we have [58:28] a very resilient economy we have the strongest economy we've ever had now the word affordability [58:35] is a fake word for but made up by the democrats here's where it's fake because they made it up [58:40] because i inherited these prices and when i had my first news conference first day [58:47] they started screaming affordability the democrats affordability affordability they're screaming [58:54] i said what's that all about they they gave it to me they gave it to me it's affordability [59:00] and they used that word to affair thee well well they were the ones that created the [59:05] affordability crisis i'm the one that got it down remember highest insurance rates in history [59:10] highest rates for everything eggs remember eggs they were four times more expensive than they were in [59:15] my administration and i got it down peter very quickly our secretary did a good job of agriculture [59:23] brooke she did a great job with eggs and everything else and now that the oil is coming down you're going [59:29] to see everything follow everything follows the cost of energy and we're going to end up having the [59:35] lowest energy anywhere in the world please yeah no please thank you you're from abc you're fake news go ahead [59:45] uh to follow up on oil can you confirm will iran be able to immediately sell their oil to market and [59:52] will u.s sanctions snap back immediately if there is a delay or collapse in the talks and then relatedly [59:59] is there any safeguard in this deal to prevent iran from charging what they say could be fees after the [1:00:06] 60-day extension the thing that's going to stop them from doing that because you can't cover everything in [1:00:12] a document is common sense they don't want to get bombed they don't want to get hit as far as sanctions [1:00:17] are concerned at some point you know we have sanctions which will never let them rebuild they [1:00:22] they would have no money they would be in poverty then 91 million people would starve so something will [1:00:28] happen as soon as they behave when they behave we're going to let that go we're going to have to i put [1:00:33] sanctions on a lot of people and then i let them go a lot of countries yeah please thank you mr president [1:00:40] my name is shinji abe i'm a japanese yomiri newspaper company from the washington correspondent my

[1:02:59] about the u.s designation of criminal gangs yeah how was it i spent a lot of time [1:03:07] with him actually and uh it's become a little rough country right politically it's been a little [1:03:15] dangerous politically you're talking about brazil yeah uh it's been uh nasty i hear they arrested [1:03:23] somebody that's running for office today i found that out after we left i just said goodbye to him and [1:03:29] i heard that they arrested the bolsonaro junior he was doing well in the polls and they arrested him [1:03:37] because he made a statement in texas they arrested him or they want to arrest him they have something [1:03:43] out if he's arrested all right they play pretty tough but nobody plays tougher than the united states [1:03:48] look our elections are totally rigged we have rigged elections uh please in the back yes sir go ahead [1:03:57] thank you so much president thank you uh sumo sakamoto the assassin uh for g7 the concept of the rule of law [1:04:08] uh has long been considered uh the core principle uh during this summit any of the leaders uh expressed [1:04:16] any concerns on the possible violation of uh international law on the uh attack on iran no no [1:04:25] actually the opposite they felt they were very dangerous they were very relieved because they could [1:04:31] get hit too they were very relieved no we never discussed that they'd no it'd be the opposite they broke [1:04:38] the law they killed thousands of people they killed thousands of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands [1:04:43] of people yeah please go ahead go ahead okay mr president yes uh yesterday yesterday the boston thanks [1:04:59] for the chinese government to help make a peace talk between iran and the united states so what do you [1:05:05] think about the china's work to get the united states and iran sitting down to talk and make the deal and [1:05:12] the second question okay okay let me answer the question okay so i think china's been terrific i [1:05:17] tell you that before they could have been bad they could have sent in to try and block or break [1:05:24] the blockade they could have sent in an oil ship with six destroyers alongside of it on each side they [1:05:32] didn't do that um president she helped me he tried to help and i think he probably helped get it solved you know they get 50 percent of their oil from that location [1:05:42] so that wasn't that easy president she was fantastic he he tried to help me solve it and he didn't give [1:05:48] any big weaponry i guess something we'll find something somewhere along that but he didn't give [1:05:53] any big weaponry i can tell you that no i think china was i couldn't ask for much more again they were [1:05:59] impacted because they get more than 50 percent of their oil from the harmonist strait and uh no i thought [1:06:07] they were fantastic okay how about one more question right here go ahead please um the latest [1:06:14] you gov economist poll shows that democrats have lost a five-point edge on the generic congressional [1:06:19] ballot they just have now just a two-point lead since february um do you think that they're losing [1:06:24] momentum well i see the republicans in generics you know generics are very important i don't know how [1:06:30] accurate because i see a lot of bad polls polls are very dishonest just like a lot of reporters like these [1:06:36] people over here are very dishonest cnn abc it's a whole group of them over there they're really [1:06:43] dishonest people but you know and and really networks are very dishonest and they have to straighten [1:06:48] themselves out or they're not going to be very successful because people don't believe them [1:06:51] anymore but no the generics are very interesting because the republicans are coming up strong even [1:06:56] before this you know why they're seeing all these lunatics like the guy in maine with the swastika [1:07:04] you know for 10 years they've been calling me a nazi and now they have a nazi running he's got a [1:07:10] tattoo on him i've been denying it for 10 years they know it's not so but they've been going i don't [1:07:15] think they could call it to me anymore you know one more one more go ahead peter let me finish with [1:07:21] peter because he's been better to me than he's been to biden thank you president trump i have a question [1:07:30] about this weekend why not stick around for the signing ceremony with this iran peace deal i might you [1:07:38] might yeah i might but i'd rather this is a memorandum of understanding it's very important [1:07:44] but it might not be the kind of a document that i should be signing there's some element to this [1:07:51] where you send the vice president if it works out great you'll look like a genius for sending him and [1:07:59] if it doesn't work out it's the vice president i like that idea sure what this way if it works out [1:08:04] i'm going to take the credit if it doesn't work out i'm blaming jd you better be careful jd he's [1:08:10] going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here yeah i like that idea i think it's a good [1:08:14] idea thank you very much everybody thank you
