G7 Conference: President Trump speaks among work leaders in France

[0:00] I don't know if you can do better, but I just want to say that the relationship has been outstanding. [0:06] He's a man of great respect. Everybody respects him, and they respect your country, [0:11] and it's an honor to be with you, and we just signed a deal with Iran, [0:16] and this country was a very powerful ally, and good things are happening. [0:25] The ships are starting to move now. We're going to have it fully open by Friday. [0:30] The ships are starting to move nicely. Oil is starting to go, and the prices are coming down rapidly. [0:38] The stock market is going up rapidly. A lot of good things are happening, [0:42] and most importantly, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. [0:45] That was how I got involved in this. We can't let that happen, so they will not have a nuclear weapon. [0:53] And other than that, I'd like to ask His Highness to say a few words, [0:57] and if you want, we can take a couple of questions, please. [0:59] Well, it's really my pleasure, Mr. President, to be with you here. [1:05] And I want to say that we are so grateful to have you here and as a President of the United States, [1:13] and thank you for your support, your commitment to your friends, to your allies, [1:21] and a special thank you for your support during the six-week war. [1:27] It means a lot to us, and you show us who is the real ally. [1:34] And without your support, your commitment, Mr. President, not my country only, [1:39] but the Middle East will be in a different part of a different situation today. [1:47] So really my pleasure to see you today, Mr. President, and thank you for giving us the time, [1:52] and there is a lot of things we can talk about for going forward between our two countries, [1:59] how we can make our relationship even better. [2:03] We love it. Thank you, my friend. [2:06] See, when you're that rich, you can speak that lowly. [2:12] I was just wondering, can anybody hear that? [2:14] But when you're so rich, you have such confidence, [2:18] and you don't have to do any strain to the voice. [2:21] He's great. [2:22] So do you have any questions for us? [2:24] What should we expect from the second stage of the negotiations from this amendment? [2:29] I don't know. It's a 60-day period or so. [2:31] I think it's going to happen fairly on time. [2:35] We've been both involved. [2:37] I think they're going to want to get it done. [2:39] Iran wants to get it done. [2:40] They have to get back to business. [2:43] And the relationship is now normalized. [2:47] So I think it's going to go pretty quickly. [2:50] It could go faster. [2:52] It could take longer, too, but it could go faster. [2:54] There's so much interest in the text of the document. [2:57] Why not release the topic? [2:58] Oh, I will. [2:59] Why not release it before? [3:00] Well, because I'd like to get a formal setting first before we do that. [3:04] But I have no problem with that. [3:05] It's a great document. [3:07] Here's what it says. [3:09] Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [3:10] That's what it says. [3:11] It won't have one to buy, to develop. [3:15] They will not have a nuclear weapon. [3:16] And I would say that's about 99.9% of what I wanted, because we couldn't let that happen. [3:23] You couldn't let that happen. [3:26] And they won't have a nuclear weapon. [3:27] Now, in addition to that, the strait is going to be open toll-free. [3:31] And it's toll-free beyond the 60 days. [3:33] It's not somebody said, oh, it's toll-free for 60. [3:35] No, no. [3:36] It's toll-free, period. [3:37] When it opens permanently, it'll be toll-free. [3:42] I want to congratulate our Navy, because the naval blockade was unbelievable. [3:49] But I will actually, I'll not only release it, I'll probably have a press conference and [3:54] read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately. [4:00] Because it's a very important document. [4:03] And unlike Obama, who could have destroyed the Middle East with a horrible JCPOA, it is [4:13] the worst agreement. [4:14] That was a road to a nuclear weapon. [4:16] Mine is a wall against a nuclear weapon. [4:20] I mean, I see these people say, but we already had one. [4:22] That was the worst. [4:23] He paid a fortune for it. [4:24] We pay nothing. [4:25] We don't pay. [4:26] There was some statement, we're going to spend $300 billion. [4:29] No, we're not. [4:30] We're allowed to go and invest if we wanted to someday in the future. [4:34] We have no obligation. [4:35] It could be that Iran will turn out to be successful when they have oil. [4:41] But if we left a week ago, just left, before the last two attacks, it would have taken them [4:50] 20 years to rebuild Iran. [4:53] So, but I'll go over the document with the media in a couple of days. [5:00] Mr. President, a few weeks back, you said you'd like to see other nations join the Abraham [5:04] Accords, much like the UAE has. [5:06] Have there been any discussions with Arab leaders about that? [5:09] About what? [5:10] Joining the Abraham Accords like the UAE has? [5:12] Well, I'd love to have them. [5:13] This is a man who's very advanced. [5:16] He was early in and he's done very well with them, the whole, the Abraham Accords. [5:23] No, it's, I think, I think they should happen. [5:26] The big, the big impediment to the Abraham Accords, we have our original countries, very [5:33] smart countries. [5:34] Every one of them. [5:34] Do you notice that even during that period of conflict, nobody dropped out. [5:39] Nobody said, oh, gee, I'm going to drop out. [5:40] Nobody. [5:41] I think they're all going to come in, you know, into the Abraham Accords. [5:46] The only conflict was a place called Iran. [5:52] And I understand that. [5:53] You know, it's a little bit tough when people were afraid of Iran. [5:58] So, but I think they're going to all start coming in there. [6:01] Good question, actually. [6:02] Mr. President, what do you say to Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham, who is skeptical [6:09] of the MOE, to... [6:13] Lindsey is skeptical? [6:14] Yes. [6:14] I'll have to talk to Lindsey. [6:16] He'll be in big trouble. [6:17] He is. [6:19] Lindsey's good. [6:20] Lindsey's fine. [6:20] He's not skeptical. [6:21] He's just fine. [6:23] Look, this agreement covers something very nicely. [6:27] We're not paying for anything. [6:28] We're not doing anything. [6:30] The markets now are higher than they were when we started. [6:33] Remember that. [6:33] The stock market now is 2,500, maybe even more than that, points higher than it was [6:40] when we said it was pretty amazing. [6:44] Disagreements about one thing, that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [6:48] Never, ever, ever. [6:51] The rest of it's irrelevant, frankly. [6:53] Senator Graham also said that an eventual agreement with Iran should be sent to Congress [6:59] for to do that. [7:01] I never thought of it, but I would. [7:04] I wouldn't mind. [7:04] I mean, you know, the Democrats, you know, we call them Democrats because they're dumb [7:08] people. [7:08] The Democrats are, well, what I'd like to do is send it to Congress saying you shouldn't [7:16] approve it, and I'll get it approved. [7:19] Whatever they, whatever I say, they want to do the opposite. [7:23] It's not working too well for them, by the way. [7:26] But yeah, I would. [7:27] I never thought about saying it. [7:28] Never even thought about it. [7:29] But I will. [7:30] I will send it to Congress. [7:31] I like the idea. [7:32] I mean, who wouldn't approve it? [7:35] Let's let them have a nuclear weapon. [7:38] The Democrats will say, oh, they should have a nuclear weapon. [7:40] They'll go crazy. [7:41] I like the idea. [7:43] Send it to Congress, please. [7:44] All right. [7:45] Mr. President, were you attack, attack plans for the UFC event at the White House? [7:52] There was, the FBI awarded an attack. [7:55] I haven't heard about it, no. [7:56] But I watched, the attack that I watched were the fighters. [7:59] And he saw it, too, by the way. [8:02] He was sitting back home in his beautiful palace, and he was watching it. [8:06] And they were as good a fights as I've ever seen, right? [8:09] The best fight. [8:09] The best. [8:10] They were. [8:11] That last fight was brutal. [8:13] And the two last, all of the fights. [8:16] The two fights, sir. [8:17] It was all good. [8:17] It was a great evening. [8:18] It was very different for the White House. [8:20] But I wish you could have been there. [8:23] We built an incredible arena. [8:26] Dana did a great job. [8:27] Is there going to be another fight next year? [8:29] Well, I don't know. [8:30] I got away with it because it's 250 years. [8:35] Maybe in another 50, maybe in 300. [8:39] So are you considering an increase on sanctions on Russia and whether to renew the oil? [8:44] Well, sooner we'll be able to do that because the oil is now flowing. [8:48] So we took sanctions off because obviously we're not looking to impede the oil. [8:53] So we're in a position to do that soon. [8:55] Let them lapse? [8:56] Yeah, at some point. [8:58] Mr. President, I have a question. [9:00] Mr. President, regarding the... [9:02] What a nice-looking person. [9:03] Is he from your country? [9:04] Is he from your country? [9:06] Absolutely. [9:06] No, he's got such a nice way about him. [9:08] My people are so mean. [9:11] Look at him. [9:11] Handsome guy. [9:12] Be careful. [9:13] No, I can put him in a movie right now. [9:16] Go ahead. [9:16] Mr. President, how can we make sure that straight hormones is open for lasting and navigation [9:24] in the future? [9:26] Have a United States with a strong president. [9:28] It's the only way you can do it, I guess, when you think we have all the agreements you want. [9:34] The agreements for bad people don't mean anything. [9:35] Look, we were the ones that blockaded this heat. [9:40] They blockaded it. [9:42] And we then said, well, we blockaded it for them so they didn't get any oil. [9:47] You're going to need to have, and this is true with a lot of things, if you have a strong [9:52] president of the United States, a lot of good things can happen. [9:55] You know that better than anybody, right? [10:00] Absolutely. [10:01] You know it better than anybody. [10:03] Can you talk a little bit more about the plan for the enriched uranium that is in the mountains? [10:08] Yeah, we do. [10:08] We'll take it. [10:09] Has Iran said they would welcome the U.S. coming in? [10:13] How specific are they? [10:14] Iran will be just fine. [10:16] What's happening is that at an appropriate time, there's no rush at all. [10:21] We have cameras from space on it. [10:22] We know everybody that goes there, which is like nobody. [10:26] The B-2 bombers hit it. [10:28] The entire mountain collapsed inside it. [10:32] It's a very tough excavation. [10:34] Nobody else can do it but us and probably China. [10:36] They have the equipment. [10:37] We have the equipment. [14:37] I'm not scheduled for another one for another couple minutes. [14:44] You have to need it. [16:42] Sit down there.
