Trump on Iran Deal: “It Really Probably Is Unconditional Surrender”
On “The Axios Show,” President Donald Trump tells Axios White House correspondent Marc Caputo that with the Iran war, there are “no limits” to his power.
MARC CAPUTO, HOST: What have you learned about not just the exercise of power, but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: There are no limits. No limits. No, not, I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but you know, there are no limits. We defeated them totally militarily. We have the most powerful military in the world by far. Who else could have done a blockade like that? I did a naval blockade where not one ship was able to get through. Some tried, they didn’t, you know, it didn’t last very long. CAPUTO: And it certainly brought Iran to the table more than before. However, beginning a conflict, you had talked about you only wanted unconditional surrender. And well, the MOU doesn’t look like unconditional surrender. TRUMP: Well, it really probably is unconditional surrender. CAPUTO: It is? TRUMP: I think so.
