Press Gaggle: Donald Trump Speaks to Reporters Before Air Force One Departure - July 22, 2026

12:00 PM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:32 (32 sec)

We're going to Dover, some of you are going with us, to honor our heroes, and they are indeed great heroes, actually. They said, and all of them said very strongly, we can't let -- we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. They won't have a nuclear weapon. So, we're going to honor them and one of the hardest things to do -- for me, it's one of the hardest things to do as a president but it has to be done.

Question 00:00:32-00:00:38 (6 sec)

As we go to honor these soldiers, do you have an update on the investigation as to how they were killed in Jordan?

Donald Trump 00:00:38-00:00:41 (3 sec)

No, they're doing that. That will be released. You know what?

Question 00:00:41-00:00:45 (4 sec)

There was a report -- Iran targeting barracks.

Donald Trump 00:00:45-00:00:51 (6 sec)

I don't know. Well, they're going to pay a big price. They're being decimated.

Question 00:00:51-00:00:53 (1 sec)

Is that report inaccurate?

Donald Trump 00:00:53-00:00:54 (1 sec)

Yeah, please.

Question 00:00:54-00:01:04 (10 sec)

Sir, the families of fallen soldiers, when Americans are wrongly against this war, how do you ask them?

Donald Trump 00:01:04-00:01:22 (18 sec)

Well, Americans aren't against the war. A poll just came out, Americans don't want high gasoline prices, but they're not against the war. That just came out loud and clear in a poll. Nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Do you want Iran to have a nuclear weapon? Do you think it's good? Go ahead.

Question 00:01:22-00:01:25 (4 sec)

The families, what will you say to them today?

Donald Trump 00:01:25-00:01:42 (16 sec)

All I'm going to say is we love you; we love your child -- and that's what they are to them, they're their children. There are no games, no nothing, that's their child and all you can do is throw out your heart. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Question 00:01:42-00:01:43 (1 sec)

What's the point in negotiating?
