FULL REMARKS: Trump on Iran Deal, Ceasefire, Clash with Pope Talks Lebanon,Hezbollah & Ukraine — AC1E

[0:07] Mr. President, on the Pope, Mr. President, on the Pope, [0:15] are those criticized people to, quote, manipulate religion [0:19] for political or military things? [0:21] Do you think that you're talking about this, sir? [0:23] The President is very important that the Pope understands. [0:25] It's very, very important. [0:26] It would be nice not to say it. [0:30] Iran killed 42,000 people. [0:32] They were totally in office with protesters. [0:35] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon [0:37] if they did every country, including Italy, [0:40] where he stationed. [0:41] Every single country in the world would be in trouble. [0:45] So we're doing very well with respect to that. [0:48] Having to do with the whole situation on Iran, [0:52] the blockade is amazing. [0:55] It's holding up very strong, very powerfully. [0:58] And I think we're making a lot of progress in that. [1:01] But the Pope has to understand Iran. [1:03] Very simple. [1:04] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. [1:06] The world would be in great danger. [1:07] The Press. [1:08] The Press. [1:09] The Press. [1:10] Mr. President, would you need, Mr. President, [1:11] would you meet with the Pope to even out your differences [1:14] with Catholics, her tour? [1:15] I don't think it's necessary. [1:16] The Press. [1:17] The Press. [1:18] The Press. [1:19] The Press. [1:20] Mr. President, you spoke with Prime Minister Modi [1:22] just a couple of days ago. [1:23] What was the conversation like? [1:25] What is it that is on the table now? [1:27] I had a very good talk with him. [1:29] And he's a friend of mine from India. [1:31] And he's doing great. [1:33] We had a very good conversation. [1:34] The Press. [1:35] The Press. [1:36] The Press. [1:37] The Press. [1:38] The Press. [1:39] The Press. [1:40] The President. [1:41] The Press. [1:42] The President. [1:44] The President. [1:45] I will tell you. [1:46] Maybe it will happen before that. [1:47] I'm not sure it needs to be extended. [1:48] The Press. [1:49] Just so you know, Iran wants to make a deal. [1:52] And we're dealing very nicely with them. [1:55] We've got to have no nuclear weapons. [1:57] If we do, that's a big factor. [1:59] And they're willing to do things today that they [2:02] weren't willing to do two months ago. [2:04] The Press. [2:05] The Press. [2:06] The Press. [2:07] The Press. [2:08] The Press. [2:09] The Press. [2:10] The Press. [2:11] The Press. [2:12] The Press. [2:13] The Press. [2:14] The Press. [2:15] The Press. [2:16] The Press. [2:17] The Press. [2:18] The Press. [2:19] The Press. [2:20] The Press. [2:21] The Press. [2:22] The Press. [2:23] The Press. [2:24] The Press. [2:26] The Press. [2:27] The Press. [2:28] The Press. [2:29] The Press. [2:30] The Press. [2:31] The Press. [2:32] The Press. [2:33] The Press. [2:34] The Press. [2:35] The Press. [2:36] The Press. [2:37] The Press. [2:38] The Press. [2:39] The Press. [2:40] The Press. [2:41] The Press. [2:42] The Press. [2:43] The Press. [2:45] Ukraine is moving along. [2:46] I wish they could get along, frankly. [2:47] A lot of people are dying in Ukraine. [2:50] We'll see what happens. [2:51] There are things happening there. [2:52] We're focused so much right now on Iran, [2:55] seeing if we can get that completed. [2:57] And I think if you look, the stock market is good. [3:03] The oil prices are coming down. [3:05] And it's looking very good that we're going to make [3:07] a deal with Iran. [3:08] And it's going to be a good deal. [3:09] It's going to be a deal with no nuclear weapons. [3:11] The Press, when is the next in-person round of [3:17] negotiations on the war in Iran? [3:20] When will that take place? [3:21] The President, I mean, it's not a question of a round. [3:23] All of them are important. [3:24] The Press, when will the next person meeting take place? [3:25] The Press, when will you send the Vice President? [3:29] The President, will you send the Vice President? [3:31] The blockade has been incredible. [3:33] It's been, it's held. [3:35] They're not doing any business. [3:36] They're unable to do any business because of the [3:38] blockade. [3:39] And so the combination of having no Navy, having [3:42] no Air Force, having no anti-aircraft equipment, [3:45] they have nothing. [3:46] Everything is gone, including their leaders. [3:49] Now they have a new set of leaders, and we find them [3:52] very reasonable. [3:53] The Press, when the 20-year minimum stop, [3:56] would that be acceptable to you? [4:00] The President, would that be acceptable to you, sir, [4:01] if that's the final sticking point? [4:03] Would you be comfortable with that? [4:05] The President, we have a statement, very, very [4:07] powerful statement, that they will not have beyond 20 years, [4:11] that they will not have nuclear weapons. [4:13] That's beyond. [4:14] There's no 20-year limit. [4:15] The Press, when were you working out for a [4:17] President, or anyone interested? [4:19] Can you please give us more information on it? [4:21] They'll go against the weaponization for Biden. [4:22] The President, I think that Todd Blanche is doing a [4:26] very good job, from what I'm saying. [4:27] The Press, when will you end the election? [4:29] The President, all I can say, thus far, I think [4:30] Todd Blanche is doing a very good job. [4:32] The Press, when there's no deal, would you be [4:36] willing to extend the ceasefire? [4:38] Or will the fighting resume, Mr. President? [4:39] The President, I would say the fighting. [4:40] If there's no deal, fight or resume. [4:42] The Press, when the gas prices, how much longer [4:44] will Americans continue to see these high gas prices? [4:47] The President, well, they're not very high. [4:48] If you look at what they were supposed to be in [4:50] order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, with the [4:52] danger that entails. [4:53] So, the gas prices have come down very much over the [4:57] last three, four days. [4:58] The Press, the gallon still? [4:58] The President, I know. [4:59] You know, and that's what ABC says. [5:00] But the fact is that if you look at the stock [5:04] markets up, everything is doing really well. [5:07] And the big thing we have to do is we have to make [5:09] sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. [5:11] Because if they do, you want to talk about [5:14] problems, you'd have problems. [5:15] So, very important is that Iran does not have a [5:19] nuclear weapon. [5:20] And they've agreed to that. [5:21] Iran has agreed to that. [5:23] And they've agreed to it very powerfully. [5:26] They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust [5:28] that's way underground because of the attack we [5:31] made with the B-2 bombers. [5:32] So, we have a lot of agreement with Iran. [5:35] And I think something is going to happen very [5:37] positive. [5:37] A very complicated subject. [5:44] It's- I don't think we're waiting. [5:46] I think we're moving very fast. [5:47] It could happen pretty quickly. [5:48] It could happen very quickly. [5:49] The Press, how long you can sustain the [5:55] blockade on the Strait of Humor? [5:57] The what? [5:58] The Press, how long you can sustain the [6:00] blockade on the Strait of Humor? [6:02] The President, we're doing very well with the [6:04] blockade. [6:04] It's very routine for us. [6:06] The Navy is incredible. [6:08] And I think the blockade is doing very well. [6:10] It's — no ship is even thinking about entering. [6:13] No ship is going past our Navy. [6:15] The Press Press. [6:16] The Press Press. [6:17] The Press Press. [6:18] Why are you fighting with the Pope? [6:19] And are you worried it's upsetting your head [6:20] on this border? [6:20] The President. [6:21] The President. [6:22] The President. [6:22] The President. [6:23] No, no, I don't — I have to do what's right. [6:24] The Pope has to understand that — very simple. [6:25] I have nothing against the Pope. [6:26] His brother is MAGA all the way. [6:28] I like his brother, Louis. [6:29] The Press Press. [6:29] The Press Press. [6:30] The President. [6:30] The President. [6:31] The President. [6:31] The President. [6:32] The President. [6:32] The President. [6:33] The President. [6:34] The President. [6:34] The President. [6:36] The President. [6:36] You have a nuclear weapon. [6:38] And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed [6:42] over the last two or three months as a protester [6:45] with no weapons, no nothing — I mean, you take a look at that. [6:49] So I could disagree with the Pope. [6:50] The Press Press. [6:51] I have a right to disagree with the Pope. [6:52] The Press Press. [6:53] The President. [6:53] The President. [6:54] I have a right to disagree with the Pope. [6:54] The Press Press. [6:55] The President. [6:56] The President. [6:56] What do you say to the people who see that — who see [6:57] your criticism of — The President. [6:58] The President. [7:00] The President. [7:00] You can't have — look. [7:01] Nothing — I have no disagreement with the fact [7:04] the Pope can say what he wants. [7:06] And I want him to say what he wants. [7:07] ones, but I can disagree. [7:09] I think that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. [7:13] If they do, the whole world would be at jeopardy. [7:15] The Middle East will be blown up and the whole [7:17] world will be at jeopardy. [7:18] We're very close to making a deal. [7:20] That'll be a great thing. [7:22] The Pope has to understand Iran has killed more than [7:24] 42,000 people over the last few months. [7:27] Think of it. [7:28] Protesters, without guns, without anything. [7:31] They were totally unarmed protesters. [7:34] The Pope has to understand that. [7:36] This is the real world. [7:37] It's a nasty world. [7:38] But as far as the Pope and saying what he wants, [7:41] he can do that. [7:42] Now, I know the Pope's brother. [7:44] He is a big MAGA person. [7:45] He's got MAGA all over his house. [7:47] His name is Louis. [7:48] He's actually a great guy. [7:50] And I'm sure the Pope is a great guy. [7:51] I haven't met him. [7:52] But I disagree with the Pope. [7:54] If the Pope would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, [7:59] you can't do that. [8:00] The President, why is your people that are saying this [8:02] is the Polish sign? [8:03] The President, I would like to ask you regarding [8:04] congratulations for the ten for the TNIC . [8:05] Yeah, it's very exciting. [8:06] With Lebanon, it's very exciting. [8:08] I think we're going to have a deal where we're going to [8:09] have a meeting. [8:09] First time in 44 years. [8:10] And Lebanon will be meeting with Israel and they're [8:11] probably going to do it at the White House. [8:12] The Press is a big raise one more time in the [8:13] movement. [8:14] I think we're going to have a deal where we're going to have a meeting first time in 44 years and [8:20] Lebanon will be meeting with Israel and they're probably going to do it at the White House [8:26] Over the next week or two [8:30] I do [8:31] I think we will have an agreement between [8:35] Lebanon and they're going to take care of [8:38] But they're going to they're going to be working on Hezbollah right now, but we'll have a degree between Israel very importantly [8:44] And Lebanon [8:54] They're all agreeing. It's a very nice little package for about a week and we're not going to have lots of bombs dropping [9:02] And we're going to see if we can make peace between [9:05] Lebanon and Israel [9:07] Because there was a group of bishops that did put out a statement saying the focus is nearly exercising his opinion [9:12] He's preaching the gospel [9:14] Well, I want him to preach the gospel. I'm all about the gospel [9:18] but I also know that you cannot let a certain country which is a very mean-spirited country have a nuclear weapon if they did [9:26] They would use it and I think they'd use it quickly and they would kill many millions of people [9:31] So you know the Pope could disagree with me on that, but certainly we're allowed to have that [9:35] I'm all about the gospel [9:37] I'm about it as much as anybody can be but I can't allow as president of the United States of America [9:44] I can't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon and here's the story. They won't have they've already agreed not to have [9:51] That's good news, and I think the Pope will be very happy [9:53] No, I don't agree. I think we should have lower interest [10:05] Going to execute four more protesters accordingly including the first woman protester. What do you tell you? Well tell that to the Pope [10:13] What did you say tell that to the Pope? [10:17] Iran is going to [10:19] Did you just hear that Iran is going to execute four people including the war [10:23] I don't know if we're going to have to but we if we need to I would do that [10:39] So if you look at the oil and if you look at the price we're paying [10:43] It's about half what people thought it would be if you did what I had to do [10:47] We had to take this journey to the Middle East in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon [10:52] There would have been if we didn't hit him with the b2 bombers or if I didn't kill the Barack Hussein Obama deal the nuclear deal [10:58] Which was a disaster we would have had nuclear weapons exploding in the Middle East and beyond [11:04] I believe I've been able to stop that. I think we have a very successful [11:09] negotiation going on right now and I think it'll be if it happens it'll be announced fairly soon and [11:16] That'll give us [11:17] free oil free [11:19] The most straight for everything would be nice and I think your oil price will go down to lower than what it was before [11:25] And I think a lot of good things [11:27] Just for clarity you're willing to extend the ceasefire [11:32] Well, we'll see I don't know that we'll have it ideally what what but if I needed to I would say if I need to love you so much [11:40] What's your message for them and do you will visit Lebanon after the I will do this at the right time. I would certainly go there [11:48] You think [11:50] You know who doesn't want to stop it apparently he's bombing Ukraine. Do you think this war has potential?
