Mr. President, have you talked to ab [inaudible 00:00:03]
(00:02)
Mr. President, are you pleased with how the talks are going?
Donald Trump (00:12):
Yeah, I'm getting a lot of reports, they've been meeting for many hours, as you probably have noticed. We'll see what happens. Look, regardless, we win. Regardless what happens, we win. We've totally defeated that country, and so let's see what happens. Maybe they make a deal, maybe they don't.
(00:31)
From the standpoint of America, we win. One of the things that's happening is that boats are sailing up and heading out to our country. Big, beautiful tankers. And we're loading them up with oil and gas and everything else, and it's a pretty beautiful thing to see.
Press (00:48):
What about [inaudible 00:00:49].
(00:48)
[inaudible 00:00:49] assets in other countries.
Donald Trump (00:56):
We're going to see what happens. We're in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless. We've defeated them militarily. They've dropped a couple of water mines, you call them water mines in the boat. We've defeated all of their water boats too. Their Navy has gone 158 ships. They have 28 water droppers, mine droppers, they call them. All of them are sunk. They probably have a couple of mines in the water. We have mine sweepers out there. We're sweeping the strait. In addition to that, we're negotiating, whether we make a deal or not, makes no difference to me.
Press (01:34):
Mr. President [inaudible 00:01:35].
Donald Trump (01:34):
And the reason is because we've won. Whether you listen to the fake dues or not. It's amazing. Their credibility is down to 13%. The media, credibility down to 13%. Think of it. We defeated their navy. We defeated their air force. We defeated their anti-aircraft. We defeated their radar. We defeated their leaders. Their leaders are all dead. And now all we do is we'll open up the strait even though we don't use it because we have a lot of other countries in the world that do use it that are either afraid or weak or cheap. I don't know what it is, but we were not helped by NATO, that I could tell you.
Press (02:23):
[inaudible 00:02:24] listening to your threats about reopening the strait of Hormuz?
Donald Trump (02:23):
How do you know that? Why do you say that?
Press (02:23):
Because they [inaudible 00:02:24]. Are they real?
Donald Trump (02:24):
Why do you say that? You don't know anything. Who are you with?

Donald Trump (02:31):
Well, let's make news.
Press (02:32):
Mr. President Let me just tell you. We win. No matter what. We've defeated their military. They have no navy. 158 ships are underwater, under sea. All of their mind sweepers and all of their ... They call them mine droppers. Can you imagine? A country has 28 mine droppers. You think that's nice?
(02:52)
With all of that being said, they're all defeated, by the way. They're all at the bottom of the sea. Now, with all of that, they have no navy. They have no radar. They have no air force. Their leaders are all dead. Hamadi is gone. For many years, he ruled. He's gone. With all of that, let's see what happens. But from my standpoint, I don't care.
Donald Trump (03:17):
