Trump on the Saudi nuclear deal:

The Saudis have to be a member of the Abraham Accords.

It's time now. They and others didn't do it because of Iran, but Iran is not a problem anymore.

Iran is not a great power anymore.

Trump on the Saudi nuclear deal:

At some point, the Saudis will join the Abraham Accords, and they will pursue their civil nuclear program.

No enrichment.

Reporter: You are talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you?

Trump: I won't respond to that question. Who are you with?

Reporter: The New York Times.

Trump: I figured so. The failing New York Times.

Reporter: The player who scored Spain's goal celebrated victory wearing a "Make Spain Great Again" cap. Communists are attacking him.

Trump: He is a great player. That was a nice tribute.

Trump:

Venezuela is not ready for elections yet.

Delcy has been doing a fantastic job.

Trump:

I owned the Miss Universe pageant, and Miss Venezuela always did very well in that pageant.

So I know something about the country.

Trump on Iran:

They want to make a deal. Sometimes they say they don't want to make a deal—they want to be the tough guys.

There's two ways: we can take them apart piece by piece, or we can negotiate with them, which is what we are also doing right now.

As we speak, we are talking to them.

Reporter: Hegseth said China and Russia are enabling Iran.

Trump: Both Xi and Putin said to me that they would not partake.

I trust them. I don't think they would want me disappointed.

Trump on Iran:

We are talking to them right now. I think they are getting more and more serious as the days go by.

I consider the deal the smarter way, but doing what we are doing is the easier way.

We are locked and loaded.

Trump on Iran:

When I went into Venezuela, everyone was against it. Then, two days later, they said, "Wow, that's fantastic."

A lot of people are saying that with Iran already.

Trump on Iran:

I think they are being, by far, the most serious so far.

Trump:

Obama went after journalists, and nobody said anything about it.

When Obama does it, it's okay, but when I do it, it's not.

Trump on the Saudi nuclear deal:

If Saudi Arabia doesn't join the Abraham Accords, I am not going to do the deal.

This was always understood. Saudi Arabia knew.

Trump on Iran:

What are you supposed to do when you are winning a war? Stop fighting?

We are winning the war by a lot. We are talking to them right now, and they are willing to do things that they would have never done.

Reporter: You reposted Laura Loomer interviewing Zelensky. What do you make of growing MAGA support for the war in Ukraine?

Trump: They support what I support.

Trump:

I think LeBron—maybe he is a racist. Maybe he doesn't like Trump.

I only like people that like me.

Trump on Balogun's red card:

Gianni did a good job in making that call.

All I did was ask for a review. I thought that call was not a good call.
