特朗普：若伊朗不守约将采取必要行动

Any questions or a reason for the lifting of sanctions on Iranian desert traders? Lifting sanctions on Iranian oil? Well, I'm going to have to find out exactly, uh, the status. But, uh, if the sanctions go out, uh, money is going to be put into this country. All that money is coming back in the form of purchases of food, which they desperately need. They have 91 million people. They can't feed them. So, uh, the money that, uh, that we lift is going to go to our farmers, largely to our farmers. Can you ensure that the Iranians won't use the profits from oil sales to rebuild their military?

Well, they're not supposed to be doing that. I will say, but they're supposed to use money to buy food for their people. Because right now the people are very hungry and they're buying it exclusively from us. Corn, soybeans going to should be a lot of money. I hope it's a lot of money if there are with Iran, that could cause a worldwide depression. As you noted, Mr. President. Are you willing to risk economic catastrophe and strike Iran?

Well, not the way I'm doing it. You're not going to cause depression. Yes, but if they don't abide by them. Well, nuclear weapon supersedes depression. Depression is no bad nuclear weapon. It will cause depression much more quickly. Uh, the way we're doing it, we have the opposite of a depression. Uh, we're doing really well. Uh, the numbers are incredible. The oil is at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Oil prices are way down. I think they're very comparable to what they were. Chris, I don't know, it pretty comparable to what they were before we started. They've returned most of the way back down. And so if Iran does not abide by the Mo, you are you still what I would say is cause a depression. I said it could cause a depression. Right. And they said, uh, that I don't want to be Herbert Hoover. That's the president. I don't want to be because he, you know, he was in charge during the Great Depression and certainly a lot of bad things could happen. And that would be one of the things I don't think it would. But if it did. But you know, what if if Iran does it, uh, live up to their agreement or if they're not behaving, I will I will do what I have to do. And I get that what our governor, you, Mr. President, say, does that give them leverage the Iranians leverage over you?

Oh, yes. Those who have reached, you know. Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Their leaders are all dead. Their whole country is a mess. Their economy is shot. The you know, the times, the fake New York Times said, oh, it's about the same as it was four months ago now, four months ago, they had a Navy 159 ship, to be exact. It's gone. The whole Navy is gone. There are 250 airplanes all gone there. Every year. Anti-Aircraft is gone. Their radar is gone. These guys love radar. The radar was gone. Everything's gone. Their leaders are gone. The whole country is gone. And the time said, oh, they're about the same as they were four months ago. The reason the news is doing so badly, or let's put it another way, the reason that I won in a landslide, even though I got 92% negative press, all fake press is because nobody believes the press anymore. And they have to start believing, you know, when, when the times and a couple of others, they just they grasping for source when they say that Iran is about the same as it was four months, four months ago, they had a powerful navy that a powerful air force, you know, most of their missiles are gone. Most of their launching pads are gone. Most of their manufacturing capacity for drones and missiles has gone about 87% gone. And then I hear, oh, you're in such great shape. No. They're gone. And their first level of leaders gone. Their second level of leaders guide the third level of leaders. You have to hear the conversations. Who wants to be president?

I don't want it. Nobody wants to be president. And then we have to read that they're doing well. They're doing so badly. In the meantime, we're setting records. We have the strongest economy we've ever had. We have 18 to $19 trillion being poured into our country. We're building factories all over the place. We have more people working today than at any time in the history of our country at higher salaries. So when you ask a question like that, it's stupid because, I mean, is it other beauty?

What is a real, really good? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his forces are not leaving Lebanon. That is a sticking point. Tell that to you. He said it publicly in Israel. Well, what they're saying and look at what would you do to make sure that you know, well, I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do. But he gets up and I'm a problem solver. I get to problem solve real fast, including with Bibi. Go ahead, Mr. President. Thank you. What's the latest you've heard from the Vice President?

Are you happy with these negotiations? Yeah. Can you share a little bit about what Secretary Rubio will be doing in the Middle East? I think that they are doing a fantastic job. Our secretary is fantastic. I think he's maybe going to go down as the best ever. And I thought JD Vance this morning was fantastic. I watch his news conference and from Switzerland. He's a very smart guy. Did a great job. You know, when I look at the Democrats, I call them the Democrats and the Democrats. When I watch that, where one of them thought it was World War 11, she said, World War 11, you've been World War Two, you know about that. But this is one of their potential leaders, Ilhan Omar, who married her brother to get into the country, by the way, illegally. But, uh, when I watch, uh, AOC have no idea what a simple question. What happened when she was over in Switzerland, which probably never went there before, but it was. And then I watched somebody like JD or Marco. What I said, what a difference, what a difference, what a difference a brain makes. Mr. president, I think I endorse you, sir. You've been quite critical of Prime Minister Starmer and he's now resigned. Your thoughts?

And who would you like to see as the next Prime Minister? I was critical only from the because I think he's a lovely man. But I said, you do. You're really messing up energy. You have windmills all over the place. In the meantime, you have the North Sea oil and they won't let anybody drill. It's one of the great fields in the world. And they they haven't even almost, you know, that the UK buys much of its energy. You know where Norway, you know where they get their oil, the North Sea, the UK has a much better portion of the North Sea. They don't want to do it for environmental purposes. Okay. And I told him he's a very nice man. I mean sort of a friend of mine. I mean he was not good to us with NATO, right?

He said we can't use the island to land. That was the first, uh, for a couple of weeks. He said, well, but ultimately I gave it, you know, that was a bad move. That hurt and badly. But but, uh, I mean, I wish him well, but he's got two problems. Energy and immigration and crime, but energy and immigration. I mean, he's a risk. And he's, you know, he's really hurt himself very, very badly. Please go to the can you tell us about your meeting with the defense contractors on Wednesday and what you plan to tell them, the meeting coming up?

Because I met with them before. Uh, we're building plants all over the country. They are not allowed to take anymore, uh, stock buybacks. Do you do stock buybacks?

Why didn't you say that too much?You know, because you want to invest in product. It's just an artificial way of raising a price if you're running a bad company. So they spent $51 billion and start, you know, on stock buybacks. So instead of spending them wind plants now they're spending they can't do that anymore. Now they are spending a lot of money. We're building many plants throughout the country. Dealing with General Motors and dealing with Ford. But I know General Motors is all excited about, uh, building weapons
