Trump:

I wrote a letter to Xi. I asked him not to give Iran weapons. He wrote me a letter, and he is saying that he is essentially not doing that.

Trump:

Xi is a person who needs oil; we don’t.

Trump:

We don't have a Chinese car in the whole country.

China is killing Europe's car companies.

We will remove him and all the other puppets appointed by the Orbán system.

We are working together smartly and very well.

Doesn’t that beat fighting?

But remember, we are very good at fighting if we have to, far better than anyone else.

Trump:

You can call it the Strait of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait.

The only thing you can’t call it is the Trump Strait—they don’t like that idea.

Trump:

The Strait of Hormuz is opening; the ships are coming back and forth.
