Trump Reviews Iranian Deal 00:04:35
Very I'm writing it now and it's very cross-off Pulitzer Prize-winning best-selling biographer Robert Carrow tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on C-SPAN's Q ⁇ A. You can listen to QA and all of our podcasts on our free C-SPAN Now app or wherever you get your podcast.
President Trump told reporters Saturday evening that he was reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war with the U.S. and Israel.
He spoke at Palm Beach Airport as he was en route to Miami.
But doing very well with regard to Iran.
Again, they want to make a deal.
They're decimated.
They're having a hard time figuring out who their leader is.
They don't know who their leader is because their leader is gone, their leader that their former leader, Khomeini.
But we'll see.
Any questions real fast?
The which?
Have you 14 points over Iran this time?
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
I'm looking at it up here.
You're looking at it?
Yeah.
I'll let you know about it later.
Mr. President, last night you said we might be better off not making a deal with Iran.
Well, I wouldn't have to.
I didn't say that.
I said that if we left right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild.
But we're not leaving right now.
We're going to do it so nobody has to go back in two years or five years.
Mr. President, you also said last night that...
They told me about the concept of the deal.
They're going to give me the exact wording now, yeah.
Mr. President, last night you also said that only like 85% of Iran's missile making capabilities has been eliminated.
Correct.
Is that other 15% important eliminated?
Well, I'd like to eliminate it.
Yeah, I'd like to.
It'd be a start for them to build up again.
And yeah, I would like to eliminate it.
Sure.
Mr. Under what circumstances would you restart military stripes on targets?
Well, I don't want to say that.
I mean, I can't tell that to a reporter.
If they misbehave, if they do something bad, but right now, we'll see.
But, you know, it's a possibility that could happen, certainly.
Mr. President, Mr. President, in your letter statement in Congress, you said the hostilities in Iran that started have been terminated.
How can you say that given that the naval blockade is still being militarily in place?
Well, it's a very friendly blockade.
Nobody's even challenging it.
Nobody at all is challenging it.
Just so you understand, many presidents have been involved in things that are very big.
They never had to go through anything with respect to Congress.
They considered it to be totally unconstitutional.
And the Democrats in Congress that pushed this, and probably a couple of Republicans, they're hurting our negotiating ability, which is infinite right now.
And they shouldn't be doing it.
It's never happened before.
No other president's done it.
And I'm not going to be the first.
Thank you very much.
Do you envision a future where American energy companies are operating inside of Iran and fucking?
Could be.
It could be.
I'll tell you what.
We have a lot of ships coming up to Texas and Louisiana.
It's a line of ships.
You saw it in the satellite.
We have a line of ships, big ones, two million barrels.
And they're coming up.
I mean, literally, hundreds of ships are online to go to Tech.
I mean, they're already started.
But we're selling a lot of oil.
A lot of oil.
Why is the U.S. removing troops from Texas?
Why is the U.S. removing troops from Germany?
We're going to cut way down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000.
Thank you very much.
