Trump on Iran Negotiations: “No Nuclear Weapons Is 99% Of It, The Strait Will Open Up Automatically”
President Trump offered this window into his thinking ahead of negotiations with Iran:
REPORTER: What would a good deal look like for you? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No nuclear weapons, number one. You know, I think there’s already been regime changed, but we never had that as a criteria. No nuclear weapons-that’s 99% of it. REPORTER: [Question about Hormuz] TRUMP: The Strait will open up automatically. Yeah, the answer is yes. The Strait will open up. If we just left, it would open, otherwise they’d make no money, so the Strait is going to open. But what we have to have is no nuclear weapons. But it will open the Strait anyway. Don’t forget, we don’t use the Strait. Other countries use the Strait. So we do have other countries coming up, and they’ll help out, but we don’t use it.
