Hello, everybody. So I think we can do this right here instead of at Doral. We're going to Doral. A lot of you are traveling with me. Um, doing very well with regard to just about everything, but doing very well with regard to Iran. Uh, again, they want to make a deal. They're decimated. They're having a hard time figuring out who their leader is. Uh, they don't know who their leader is because their leader is gone, their leader that -- their former leader, Khamenei.
But, uh, we'll see. Any questions real fast?
[Inaudible]
For which?
The new 14-point proposal that Iran has [Inaudible]
No, I haven't. I haven't. I -- I'm looking at it up here.
You're looking at it [Inaudible]
Yeah, I'll let you know about it later, but, uh --
Mr. President, last night, you said we might be better off not making a deal with Iran. Do you think that?
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 percent of Iran's missile-making capabilities has been eliminated.
Correct.
Is that other 15 percent important? Does the United States need to eliminate that?
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.
Sir, under what circumstances would you restart military strikes on targets inside Iran?
Well, I don't want to say that. I mean, I can't tell that to a reporter. If they, uh, misbehave, if they do something bad, but, uh, right, now we'll see. But yeah, it's Ð it's a possibility that could happen, certainly.
Mr. President, in your letter to 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 enforced?
Well, it's a very friendly blockade. Nobody's even challenging it. Nobody at all is challenging. Just so you understand, uh, 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 have 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 has done it and I'm not going to be the first. Thank you very much.
[Inaudible] Doral --
Go ahead.
Thank you, Mr. President. Do you envision a future where American energy companies are operating inside of Iran, much like Venezuela?
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 in the satellite. We have a line of ships, big ones, two million -- uh, two million barrels, and they're coming up. I mean, literally hundreds of ships are in line to go to Texas -- I mean, they're already started.
But we're selling a lot of -- uh, lot of oil, a lot of oil.
Mr. President? Why is the US removing troops from Germany? Mr. President? Why is the US removing troops from Germany?
Uh, we're going to cut way down, and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000. Thank you very much.
When is enough, enough with Iran?
