I hope that is not the case. We saw what happened last year. We don't want a repetition of that.

I'm very concerned [that strikes will happen during talks], like you and like everyone else.

The whole world is concerned about this, and I think the whole world really wants a negotiated deal out of this, and not to go to the root of what we saw last year.

We have really advanced substantially, but there remain various details to be ironed out, and that is why we need a little bit more time to really try and accomplish the ultimate goal of having a comprehensive package of the deal.

If there is a deal, there will be full access. Iran has offered that.

I am quite confident from my point of view that even United States inspectors will have access at some point in the process if we have a deal that is respected and fair and endurable.

They should make a deal, but they don't want to quite go far enough. It's too bad.

Look, we've been playing with them for 47 years, and that's a long time. They've been blowing the legs off our people, blowing the face off our people, the arms.

They've been knocking out ships one by one. I mean, every month there's something else, so you can't put up with it too long.

We're not happy with the negotiation. They just don't want to say the key words, "we're not going to have a nuclear weapon." They have to say, "we're not going to have a nuclear weapon," and they just can't quite get there.

They want to enrich a little bit. You don't have to enrich when you have that much oil. So I'm not happy with the negotiation.

I say no enrichment.

Not 20%, 30%. They always want 20%, 30%. They want it for civil; I think it is uncivil.

I am not happy.

We're negotiating right now, but they're not getting to the right answer. And we're not going to see people — we're not going to see what's happened for 47 years keep going. For 47 years, we've been doing this with them.

The Obama deal was the worst deal. Nobody ever saw a deal so stupid. Right now, if you did the Obama deal, if that held, if I didn't terminate it, Iran would have a nuclear weapon, and it would be a whole different ballgame.

That Obama deal was one of the worst, one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen. First of all, it was very short-term; it would long be over. You know that. It would be, but I terminated it. But if I didn't, it would be over by now anyway.

The Obama deal — what he did was one of the dumber deals. I've seen a lot of dumb deals; that would be one of the dumber deals.

To any dealmaker regarding Iran: please understand your deal will have to come to the Senate and be tested. When it comes to matters like this, it’s not about a political party to me. I am going ask the hard questions no matter who presents the deal.

To say I’m suspicious that the ayatollah and his regime will change and keep their word is the biggest understatement in history.

I would also caution, beware of anything that comes from Oman.

It is clear to me that the best and only long term answer is to stand with the Iranian people and demand regime change.

These ships are from Venezuela.

We're proud to tell you they're from Venezuela, these big ships.

Venezuela got lucky because they're doing really well now. We're getting along very well with Venezuela.

Should we do one more term? Do one more term!

We are entitled to it because they cheated like hell.

They (Democrats) are cons and liars, not good.

We want to have unity. Let’s have unity.

To have unity, you need sane people on the other side.

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, Anthropic and its CEO Dario Amodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

Spoke today with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Baloch to express condolences for lives lost in the recent conflict between Pakistan and the Taliban.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and expressed support for Pakistan’s right to defend itself against Taliban attacks.

I have a policeman. He's this wonderful, tough policeman from New York. He's taking good care of us.

He said, "Sir, it's so good. My married life has gotten so much better."

I said, "Why?"

He said, "My wife thought I was a loser financially. I couldn't make any money because my 401(k) was dying for years. And now she thinks I'm the smartest financial genius ever."

"It has made my sex life good. It's made my life good. It's given me a tremendous boost in life, sir. My wife treated me like a dog, and now she admires my financial genius. And I haven't done anything. My 401(k) has gone through the roof."

So I said, "Thank you very much."

Everybody's up. Has anybody gone down with their 401(k)?

Because if you do, you're a loser.

We have a big decision to make. You know that. Not easy. Not easy.

We have a country that's been, for 47 years, blowing people's legs off, arms off, their face. They've been knocking out ships, killing people, lots of people. Not only Americans, lots of people.

32,000 protesters killed over the last two-three months.

They want to make a deal, but you gotta make a deal that is meaningful.

I would rather do it the peaceful way, but they are very difficult and dangerous people.
