I have just landed in Addis Ababa for a day-long state visit to Ethiopia

Thank you to Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos Hessebon and Israel’s Ambassador Ambassador Avraham Neguise for the warm welcome.

I look forward to a series of important meetings aimed at deepening ties between our two nations.

"Everyone should know that Iran poses a very grave threat to the United States and has for a very long time."

If, in fact, what you're interested in is a peaceful nuclear program, you can do it like most of the countries in the world do it, which is they have above-ground reactors and they import the fuel. We have deals now to do that with countries.

If what they really wanted was energy, they could do small modular reactors, which is something that's quite affordable and achievable for a lot of countries.

But when you say “we want to enrich, and we want to enrich deep underground,” and you have a history in the past of enriching to 20 and even 60 percent, plus you're building missiles that could potentially carry warheads, that doesn't sound to me like a country that's not interested in building weapons.

"Iran refuses to talk about the ballistic missiles. That is a big problem."

"The only way Cuba is going to have a better future is if it has a different economic model.

Their model doesn't work. It doesn't exist anywhere in the world."

Uranium enrichment is a sovereign right, and Tehran is proposing a temporary freeze for a limited period, but rejects zero enrichment, dismantling nuclear facilities, transferring uranium stockpiles, or any discussion of its missile and defense programs.

He added that Iran’s proposal in the Geneva talks focuses on sanctions relief and addressing U.S. concerns, including technical and practical pathways and data to show it does not seek nuclear weapons.

When we first entered nuclear activities, our goal was to build a nuclear bomb.

If we had been able to keep it secret and test the bomb, the matter would have been finished.
Since we had already started, we should have gone all the way to the end.
