Trump: Iran is ‘very strong right now, and we’re not going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon’
President Donald Trump takes exception to the idea that Iran is weak currently.
Asked about this, he says alongside Prime Minister Netanyahu in the Oval Office, “They’re not weak. They’re very strong right now, and we’re not going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon. It’s very simple.”
“I signed a very strong proclamation…,” he says. “Doesn’t mean they won’t be weak [in the future].”
