Trump on Iran Deal: “I’ll Probably Read It Word By Word At A Press Conference, So The Press Covers It Accurately”
President Trump comments on the text of his deal with Iran during a press conference at today’s G-7 meeting in France. “Here’s what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “In addition to that, the strait is going to be open, toll-free, permanently.” “I’ll not only release it, I’ll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word so that the press covers it accurately, because it’s a very important document.”
REPORTER: In the text of the document, why not release the document? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Oh, I will. REPORTER: Why not release it now? TRUMP: Well, because I’d like to get a formal setting first before we do that, but I have no problem with that. It’s a great document. Here’s what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. That’s what it says. It won’t have one to buy, to develop. They will not have a nuclear weapon. And I would say that’s about 99.9% of what I wanted, because we couldn’t let that happen. You couldn’t let that happen. And they won’t have a nuclear weapon. Now, in addition to that, the strait is going to be opened toll-free, and it’s toll-free beyond the 60 days. Somebody said, oh, it’s toll-free for — no, no, it’s toll-free, period. When it opens permanently, it’ll be toll-free. I want to congratulate our Navy because the naval blockade was unbelievable. But I will actually — I’ll not only release it, I’ll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word so that the press covers it accurately, because it’s a very important document.
