Trump on Iran:

They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more.

From the first day I entered the political arena, I have been unwavering:

I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Trump on Iran:

Upon taking office last year, I opened negotiations with Iran and offered them full economic cooperation in exchange for ending their nuclear program and support for terror.

But they refused. That was a big mistake.

Trump on Iran:

They made a missile capable of hitting Europe, and they were very proud of it. I hope the Europeans realize that.

Iran’s goal was to complete their nuclear bomb behind this conventional ballistic missile shield.

If they had succeeded, that wicked regime would have been free to spread terror and death forever.

Trump on October 7th:

We will mark the third anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel.

Terrorists funded by Iran tortured, mutilated, and killed 1,200 innocent civilians, including dozens of Americans and many babies — little, tiny, beautiful babies.

Iran’s Supreme Leader celebrated that massacre and called it a "service to humanity."

Trump on Iran:

The regime slaughtered over 72,000 of its citizens this year.

Just imagine such a vile regime empowered to carry out large-scale terror attacks from behind a nuclear shield.

This was the reality we had to confront—a reality that far too many preferred to ignore. They all ignored it.

Trump on Strait of Hormuz:

The United States Navy has recently escorted more than one billion barrels of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz, and more oil is flowing than at any point since the start of the war.

We’re taking 22, 25, 30, 32, and 37 ships out, respectively, every single day, every single night.

Trump on Iran:

I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world?

Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?

Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness for generations?

But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn’t make sense for them not to.

They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don’t realize is that I’m not running. I did that already and won in a landslide.

Trump on Iran:

I gave absolutely no credence, and will not give credence, to the election when it comes to Iran. It doesn’t even enter my mind.

The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

Trump on Iran:

The cowards and traitors would love to say the United States is low on ammunition, but that’s not true.

We have more munitions than we could ever possibly think of using, and we’re building them at levels we have never done before. We are adding to our stockpiles faster than ever before—top-of-the-line stuff.

In addition, in the very near future, massive munitions plants will be opening. There are 18 of them being built by the greatest defense companies in the world right now—18 under construction.

Trump on Iran:

I called on all nations to join us in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions, and cease their support of terror.

The terrorist regime is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate.

Trump:

We ended the war in Gaza, saving thousands of lives.

Trump:

The prime minister of Pakistan, a terrific man, said that Donald Trump was responsible for saving 30 million lives, and probably many more than that.

The president of Azerbaijan said "President Trump, in six months, did a miracle." It was an absolute miracle that nobody thought could be done.

The prime minister of Armenia said this breakthrough simply would not have been possible without President Trump’s personal engagement and resolute commitment to peace.

Trump on Ukraine:

We’re working very closely with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, and we will get that one done.

It’s going to happen, I think, more quickly than people understand. They’ve had it.

Trump on Iran:

The United States and Iran will definitely get it done. We will get it done one way or the other. It’s going to be done.

It’s going to be done fast.

Trump on Venezuela:

When you add the United States and Venezuela together, we have more than 60 percent of the oil in the world. So, it’s perhaps the biggest deal.

It was a war, but it’s perhaps the biggest deal ever made.

To the victor belong the spoils. You’ve all heard that.

Trump on Venezuela:

Our actions in Venezuela are proof that the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, and if necessary, we will use our unmatched military might to secure the vital national interests of the United States.

Trump on Venezuela:

Venezuela had the finest equipment in the world from other countries. Guess what? It didn’t work.

It didn’t even come close to working.

Trump:

The cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere. Not good people.

Like ISIS, they should be killed, exiled, or detained as enemy combatants without the possibility of release, which is what we’re doing.

Trump on Mexico:

It’s unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels.

So, Mexico must reclaim control of its soil from the enemies of humanity.

Trump on Cuba:

My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the Communist regime is under great pressure—the biggest pressure they’ve ever been under.

It’s failing like never before, and it will fall.

Marco Rubio is handling negotiations. He’s deep into negotiations with Cuba. Let’s see what happens.

We will not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep.

Trump on Cuba:

The Cuban regime has spent decades coordinating with left-wing radicals and Communist networks here in the United States.

As our State Department has detailed, they have cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Democratic Socialists of America.
