I think the fundamental challenge, and it's really at the core of what Iran needs to decide - do they want to be a country or do they want to be a revolution?
I think slaughtering 10,000 of your own people in protests is a violation of the U.N. - I hope it's a violation of the U.N. principles.

America needs to lead the world in AI, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm our country.
A group like that can never have a nuclear weapon, and if we can achieve that outcome in a positive way, we’d love to do it.

This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the…
We have a lot to do because, unfortunately, this government inherited a series of disasters, bad decisions.
We always have the right to operate and take action to protect the national security of the United States.
