[12:00:00]

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: But when I read a statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat to every country. It realized what a threat Iran was. The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it.

And many people, many of the greatest military scholars, are saying for years that president should have taken out Iran because they wanted a nuclear weapon. They were -- if we didn't do the attack, or if I'll go a step further, if I didn't terminate the Iran nuclear deal given to us one of the worst deals ever made by Barack Hussein Obama.

Remember when they said, Boeing 757 is over there, loaded with cash, hundreds of millions of dollars. You would have been very happy. This was a wonderful. They said, hundreds of million -- people forget that. Does anybody remember, right? You remember. Hundreds of millions of dollars in a Boeing 757.

I think that two of them loaded, they took the seats out, and they put cash, and it was so much that there wasn't a bank in Virginia, Maryland or D.C. that had any money left. They stripped them of all their money, put it into place, sent it to Iran, almost as ransom. That's not going to happen with Trump. And nobody ever did anything about it, nobody ever said anything.

Can you imagine if I did that? So, they've been a threat for a long time, but they've really been a threat if -- if I didn't terminate Obama's horrible deal that he made, the Iran nuclear deal, you would have had a nuclear war four years ago. You would have had -- you would have had nuclear holocaust, and you would have had it again, if we didn't bomb the site.

So, when somebody is working with us that says they didn't think Iran was a threat, we don't want those people because -- and there are some people, I guess I would say that, but they're not smart people or they're not savvy people. Iran was a tremendous threat, and virtually every NATO nation, and this is the thing.

If they told me, it wasn't a threat, and therefore they don't want to help, but when they say it was a threat and it was a major threat. Every one of them, I think every one of them. I don't know if one that said, they're not a threat. But when they say it was a threat, but we're not going to help, I think they're very foolish.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: It's interesting because I could say this, that what's happening in Ukraine. We're probably in there for $400 billion. We don't spend any money anymore. They buy it from us and they pay full price. But Biden gave them between $350 and $400 billion of equipment in cash. Some days, I've to find out about the cash. And you could say that wasn't a threat. You know, we're helping them. So, we helped them and they didn't help us. And I think that's a very bad thing for NATO.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, are there any repercussions for NATO, and are you still going to China?

TRUMP: Well, yeah. On China, it's a little different story. We're resetting the meeting, and it looks like it will take place in about five weeks. We're working with China. They were fine with it. We're going to say, I look forward to seeing President Xi. He looks forward to seeing me, I think. But I do look forward to seeing him. We have a good relationship with China.

China actually has become economically for us, very good, very good, as you know, it's much different than it was in the past and we have a very good working relationship with China. So, we're making it in about five or six weeks.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, they're not supporting you on this. Any repercussions?

TRUMP: Well not. I just think that it's not good for a partnership. When they say, what you're doing is a great thing, but we're not going to help.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: They said, what you did is a great thing, but we're not going to ask.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In Iran, does Iranian regime has told Sky News. If you put boots on the ground in Iran, it will be another Vietnam. Are you afraid of that?

TRUMP: No, I'm not afraid of. I'm really not afraid of anything.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mr. President, are you rethinking United States relationship with NATO, possibly getting out?

TRUMP: Well, I'm disappointed in NATO that we spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it, trillions over the years, many trillions of dollars. It's one of the reasons we have deficits and we help other countries. And when they don't help us, I mean, it's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision, as you probably know. I can make that decision myself. I'd work with some very smart people, and I'd always deal with Congress anyway, but I don't need Congress for that decision.

[12:05:00]

But you know, when you -- when you say, rethink, I'm not -- I have nothing currently in mind, but I will say that I'm not exactly thrilled when we help them with Ukraine. Look, Ukraine would have been over in one day, if we didn't help. Frankly, Ukraine would have been over in the first day. They had the best equipment in the world. It was our equipment given by sleepy Joe Biden. No charge. Hundreds of billions of dollars of the best equipment in the world. No charge. I will say that I'm not happy about it.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: With one on Iran and one on Cuba. Is Iran now a bigger foreign policy priority for you than China? And on Cuba, the Cuban government --

TRUMP: Iran is just a military operation. To me, Iran is something that was essentially, largely over in two or three days because the navy was wiped out almost immediately. The air force came next. The antiaircraft came next. I mean, we're flying over Iran. We could take out their electric capacity in one hour. We have all that but there's nothing they can do right now, because everything is knocked out. They have no -- again, no radar, no antiaircraft. They have nothing.

And we don't -- and it was a decision I made. We discussed it. Pete, Marco, J.D., all of us, Chris. We discussed it. We can knock out their electricity in a matter of minutes if we wanted to and there's nothing they can do about it. We can knock out their oil in Kharg Island. That's the only thing we didn't take down was their oil, because if we knock out, I call them the pipes, very complex.

But if you do that, it will take them forever to rebuild, meaning, whoever, and hopefully it's a sane group of people. But whoever it is, it's going to be running that and we're going to try to get people that are going to run it well. And, you know, it's going to be a prosperous, wonderful place. It used to be, you know, if you go back, it used to be a very -- the people are great, the people are smart and energetic, and it used to be very successful. Now, it's a country run by fear. It's a country where they tell protesters don't go outside because if you do, we're going to kill you.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Well, Cuba right now is in very bad shape. They're talking to Marco, and we'll be doing something with Cuba very soon.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: We're really focused on this, but we're dealing with Cuba. Marco, do you want to say a couple of words about it?

MARCO RUBIO, SECRETARY OF STATE: Yeah. I mean, Cuba has an economy that doesn't work and a political and governmental system they can't fix (Audio Gap) it's not dramatic enough, it's not going to fix it. So, they've got some big decisions to make over there.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Secretary Rubio, do you support -- and I know this is up to Congress, but do you support easing the Cuban, the trade embargo if you get more cooperation from the island?

RUBIO: Well, I'm not going to discuss what we would talk about or not. Suffice it to say that the embargo is tied to political change on the island. The law -- it's been -- the embargoes codified. And -- but the bottom line is, their economy doesn't work. It's a non-functional economy. It's an economy that has survived. It's for 40 -- that revolution, it's not even a revolution. That thing they have has survived on subsidies from the Soviet Union and now from Venezuela. They don't get subsidies anymore, so they're in a lot of trouble. And the people in-charge they don't know how to fix it, so they have to get new people in charge. That's what --

TRUMP: And the relationship we have with Venezuela has been -- I think you can almost say incredible. It's been really good. It's been good for Venezuela, and it's been good for us. And I congratulate the Venezuelan baseball team because that was a big -- that was a big win. And I guess they play another game tonight in the finals (Audio Gap) it's the first time they've ever been in the finals, and it was pretty exciting, yes.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, Iran is just a military operation to you. But do you not have a day after plan? And if so, what is your day after plan for Iran?

TRUMP: Well, we have a lot. Look, if we -- if we left right now, it would take 10 years for them to rebuild. But we're not ready to leave yet, but we will be leaving in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint. And again, we've had great support from countries in the Middle East, great support, but we've had no support from -- essentially no support from NATO.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, what about your relationship with London? Has it been damaged by the fact that Keir Starmer isn't supporting you in this war? And has your opinion of Keir Starmer changed because of this?

TRUMP: Well, he hasn't been (Audio Gap), you know, they make a lot of money on trade with the United States. I did -- I went out of my (Audio Gap) as you know, they couldn't make a deal with Biden because they had no real administration to make a deal, Biden. But we made a deal. We made a good deal for them. And frankly, which probably wasn't appreciated. [12:10:00]

I do look forward to seeing the (Audio Gap) the king is be going to -- he's going to be coming, as you know, very shortly, but no, I was disappointed, because Keir was willing to send two aircraft carriers after we won, because essentially, we're -- there's no threat for the aircraft carriers right now. And they said, no, no, we want things sent before the war, not after the war is won. So yeah, I'm disappointed with Keir. I like him. I think he's a nice man, but I'm disappointed.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Do you see that man right there? You know who that is?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's Winston.

TRUMP: The late great Winston Churchill, and Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in this office. Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bus back to England. He didn't -- they didn't want it. And when I came in, I was asked if I wanted, I said, absolutely, I want it and I put it right there, Winston Churchill. And you know, unfortunately, Keir is not Winston Churchill.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: No, no. hold it. hold it. hold it.

MICHEAL MARTIN, TAOISEACH OF IRELAND: Just make a number of points. First of all, I think, notwithstanding what has happened, the transatlantic relationship between Europe and U.S. is very, very important on a number of fronts. And I think we've had issues over the last year, so it will be settled on them. And I think many of these leaders engage with you, particularly on trade. Initially, remember all the fuss last year, but we got a landing zone between Europe and U.S.

And I think we can get a landing zone again, and I think I just met with Keir Starmer last week, the British Irish relationship was very important one. And Churchill was a great wartime leader, although Ireland, it was kind of a different perspective in terms of -- during the royal bar of independence, he created his own bit of difficulties for us, but that said, he was a great wartime hero. Keir Starmer has done a lot to reset the Irish, British relationship. I just want to put that on the record.

But I do believe that he's a very earnest, sound person who I think you have a capacity to get on with and you've got on with him before. And you've got on with other European leaders as well. And I think you have that capacity again. And I think everyone exists. I mean, you cannot have a rogue state with a nuclear weapon or the capacity for nuclear weapon. Iran was a sponsor of terrorism and we sanctioned Iran.

All European countries did as a terror and the LGC, in particular, as a terrorist organization. They sponsored Hamas. They sponsored Hezbollah, the Houthis, they created -- may him a most malign force in the Middle East. The Irish position has always been, ultimately, can we resolve this to -- you know, can we get peace? And obviously, there's preconditions before you get to that situation.

We had our own conflict, which went on for 30 years, and we learned a lot from that in terms of how to try and bring about peace. And I think I've listened to you in terms of, your correct, I mean, our hearts go to the Iranian people who have been repressed and suppressed for so many times -- for so many years, culminating in that savage border of thousands and thousands of Iranians, some months gone. No one's in a position to do anything about that.

And I think -- and likewise with Ukraine, I mean, the Russians did invade Ukraine, have tax, civilian infrastructure and so on like that. And for the people of Ukraine who just want peace and an opportunity to live. I think there is -- I think we have to continue to work to see, can we bring peace different regime to Iran, where Iranians can live in peace again, and the people in the Middle East can live in peace.

And you're doing your bit there, in terms of the work in Gaza and so on, like that's. That's what we want, is a peaceful resolution of conflict. That's what we come from as a small nation. We've been peacekeepers all our lives. We're the longest serving nation in terms of provision of peacekeeping forces in the world as it turns out.

But we think ultimately all conflicts come to an end, and I think we have to try and work towards that end. And I'm sure the European leaders and the U.S. administration will engage, and hopefully we can get a landing zone.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: I mean, the only thing, and I agree with everything you said, but we helped with Ukraine --

MARTIN: Yes.

TRUMP: -- and they don't help with Iran. And they all acknowledge that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. You yourself say, you know, these were -- these are horrendous people. These are the worst people. And going back to Hitler, right, going back to Hitler, these are the worst people. That's a long time ago, and there's been nothing close. Every problem, every -- so many deaths, 90 percent of the people that got blown up by landmines, and landmines, they loved -- Soleimani, we killed them.

[12:15:00]

If we didn't do, it might be a different story because he was a horrible person, but he was a very powerful person and leader smart, but we killed him. If we didn't, I think you'd have it. I did, but I think would have maybe a different situation. It wouldn't have been so easy as it has been because it has been very easy. You know, it's all of their military is that, but you can always have somebody drop a mine in the water. That's like terrorism and then you have the people that own the billion-dollar ship saying, well, let's not move that ship yet because we want.

So, we thought that Europe would help that, because they do have some minesweepers. But it's amazing that, you know, they all said, what a great job. They would call me congratulating us on the great job we did, with respect to Iran and we knocked the hell out of them. They're no longer the bully of the Middle East. They were known as the bully of the Middle East, and they're not the bully anymore.

But you would have thought, they would have said, we'd love to send a couple of minesweepers. It's not a big deal. It doesn't cost very much money, but they didn't do that. So, you know it -- I think it's very unfair to the United States, not to me, but to the United States. Go ahead, please.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Please don't made --

TRUMP: She's a fantastic reporter, by the way. Go ahead.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The prime minister isn't making the case to the British public as to why he should be supporting you. Could you do that now and talk to the U.K., to Germany viewers, about why it's in their interest that we help you.

TRUMP: Well, because we have a tremendous long-term relationship with the U.K. I mean, people would say, it's the best. I don't want to get into that, but we've had -- it was the longest, the oldest should be the best. Always was the best until Keir came along. And now -- and I like him, he's a nice man. He says everything beautiful. He's a very nice man with a beautiful family. Everything's perfect. But he doesn't produce.

And I think it's very inexpensive. I just said, you don't have to send me aircraft carriers. He sent me a couple of minesweepers. We don't need your aircraft carriers. But even the aircraft carriers, he would only send them after we essentially won. I mean, he's sending them when there are no planes left. When the missiles are down to 8 percent. They have like 8 percent of the missiles. With the rest we demolish the missiles and the factories. Largely, the factories are going even as we speak, they just hit another factory.

They may have a lot of -- they have a lot of missile factories. They have a lot of drone factories. And so, he's, you know, wants to send them when we don't need them, but we'd like to have minesweepers, because, just in case, we don't know that there are any mines down because we wiped out. I think 24 -- they actually have to think of this for country.

They have 24 boats that do nothing but put mines in the water. This doesn't sound like a great country. This doesn't sound like a friendly country, but we killed all of those boats. They're at the bottom of the sea. So, we don't even know if there are any mines there, but if there are, you know, we'd like to have a little help in finding them, most -- probably most importantly.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Talking about confidence of Keir Starmer, which --

TRUMP: We'll it's not for -- it's really for the people of the U.K. to have confidence. I've been very critical here and I did it in a friendly way. I said, if you don't change your energy thing and get away from windmills and go back to oil and gas, and you know, you own. You have something that's no other country has, very few countries have anything like it. The North Sea.

You have some of the greatest oil and oil deposits in the entire world, the North Sea. They don't use it. You buy a lot of your oil from Norway. You know where they get their oil from, the North Sea, and you pay (Audio Gap) paying a lot of money, and I tell them, and they -- you have the better part of the North Sea. So why aren't they taking the oil from the North Sea? Why are they buying oil from Norway?

But they have windmills all over the country, destroying those gorgeous Scottish fields and those beautiful fields all over the windmills, which don't work. They're tremendously expensive, and the best testament to that is the windmills are made in China, but China doesn't use them. You know, China uses coal. They're building 58 coal fired plants right now, and that's up to them. But these foolish countries that are buying windmills, putting them out of business, I'm proudly telling you that we're going to try and have no windmills built in the United States during my --

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: It's a very bad -- they're very bad environmentally. They kill the birds, they run slightly, they make a lot of noise, and for some reason, the environmentalists just love windmills. OK.

(CROSSTALK)

[12:20:00]

BASH: Mr. President, he's, says a very nice man. I think he's, I think he's a nice man. But I just agree with him on two things, primarily, immigration. His immigration policy is a disaster, and his energy policy is a disaster. And there are about the biggest policies you can have. You've allowed millions and millions and millions of people to come into your country that shouldn't be there. And by the way, that's all over Europe. Europe is a different place. It's a different place. And, you know, I originate to put it nicely, I originate.

Many of us do from Europe. I love Europe. I spent a lot of time in Europe. It's a different place. Bad things have happened here, very bad things. And you better do something about immigration, and you better do something about energy, or you won't have a euro.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What's your plan, Mr. President, when cargo ships can safely go through the Strait?

TRUMP: It won't be, I don't believe too long. We're knocking the hell out of the coast. It's basically the coast and the water. And it won't be too long. And the Middle Eastern states, including Israel, by the way, who has been terrific. The Middle Eastern states have been helping us a lot.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Go ahead.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, there have went through crises and (inaudible) say people in Ireland, who are paying sky like prices because of your war on Iran.

TRUMP: Well, I think the people in Ireland are very happy that I'm getting rid of -- I have a lot of friends from Ireland. They're very happy that I'm getting rid of a nuclear power, a nuclear terrorist. And as soon as that war is over, which will be soon, your prices are going to drop like a rock. You watch.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mr. President, what do you think about our presidents' comments (inaudible) --

TRUMP: Say it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What do you think about our president's comments?

TRUMP: Can you speak -- you speak it right into your --

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. President, how do you respond to the Iraq nation (Ph) groups against the U.S. Embassy and constantly in Kharg island?

TRUMP: Do you want to answer that? Do you want?

J.D. VANCE, VICE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Marco, obviously, secretary of state has control over the embassy. Look, there have been a lot of militia attacks against our base or our embassy in Iran. I think Marco did a good job of limiting the number of people who are at that embassy, so we can provide essential functions but also protect our people. But it goes to show there are a lot of terrorists in that region of the world and we've got to eliminate when we find them.

TRUMP: And you can't give them nuclear weapons. You can give them rifles, you can give them guns, you can't give them nuclear weapons. I think we agree.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: Yes. Excuse me.

MARTIN: First of all, I would say that Europe is still a very good place to live.

TRUMP: I'm glad to hear that. MARTIN: In our view is you have to have robust and fair rules around migration. But on the other hand, a lot of people, you know, within the European Union, we free mobility of people. And in Ireland, our population is growing, but in a very positive way. Our economy is going well because we're attracting a lot of people from Europe and beyond into work legally and validly in our country.

In fact, I'd love if we could develop a legal pathway between the U.S. and Ireland into the future, because of our history and so on. That we could have a legal pathway because we're -- no one is in favor of illegal migration or and so forth. You have to have robust rules for that. But fundamentally, I think sometimes Europe gets characterized wrongly and in terms of it being overrun or whatever, like that.

It's much more robust now and much more stronger mechanism in place to facilitate legal migration. And I think it's important that understanding is that we need more economic growth in Europe. It doesn't have the same focus on innovation as you do here in U.S. Discussed that earlier with the vice president in terms of technology, in terms of AI. We need to pivot more to innovation, as opposed to regulation. And I think investing in people, you know, and that's the key to, I think our collective future.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mr. President, Irish President has said that your war against Iran is illegal. It's an attack on international law.

TRUMP: Who said that?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The Irish president.

TRUMP: Look, he's lucky, I exist. That's all I can say. Because if you're going to allow countries that are sick and demented and they are demented, to have nuclear weapons. Everybody in the whole world should be very thankful. And I'm disappointed in NATO, very disappointed. I'm disappointed in a couple of other countries too.

[12:25:00]

But they should be very thankful that this group of people feels the way we do. Because if a country like Iran was allowed to have the power of a nuclear weapon. If we didn't stop them. I stopped them twice. I stopped them in my first term, when I terminated the Iran nuclear deal, which was Barack Obama's deal, it was one of the -- maybe the worst deal I've ever seen.

It gave everything to Iran, including billions of dollars in green cash. I don't mean cash, I mean, green cash flown over by airplanes. I can't, to this day, I believe that was allowed to happen. And come to think of it, it would be a good thing for somebody to look at how could -- does the president have the power to hand hundreds of millions of dollars of cash to terrorists? But it began with that, and I terminated that deal.

If I didn't terminate that deal, we might not be here right now. If I didn't terminate that deal, unbelievable, nuclear holocaust would have taken place. And then I did it a second time, when we hit him with the B-2 bombers, and we totally obliterated their potential nuclear weapon that they would have had in less than one month, they think two weeks, but in less than one month, and it would have been -- I believe it would have been a much different world than it is right now.

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: We're going to a lunch. So, maybe we'll take one more nice question.

(CROSSTALK)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Can I ask you how you're doing with your legal case against the BBC and a fake news documentary?

TRUMP: Well, BBC was incredible. What they did is they had me speaking something I never said, and I've never seen anything quite like it. You know, CBS had that. We had the situation on 60 minutes, and not the current owners, the past owners. The current owners, I think, are good Ellison, but BBC took it a step further. They actually had -- they put words in my mouth, and they said, I said some pretty bad things. And I didn't say him. It was a I generated.

And I said, I never said that. In fact, some of my people said, wow, that was pretty bad stuff. You said, what did I say? You know, I'm pretty good at this stuff. I mean, if you can go through years of these press conferences and you're a popular president of the United States that won in a landslide, that won all seven swing states, that got record numbers of votes. I mean, so I guess I'm OK at this stuff.

I said, I never said that, and then we found out it was AI generated. And they admit they made a mistake, BBC. But I watched him this morning for some crazy reason, and it was so inaccurate. The reporting of the war was unbelievable. We have decimated that country. And if you watch BBC. it's almost like -- they're fighting us to a draw. They're not fighting us to a draw. It was very inaccurate news. It was fake news.

So, I'm very proud of the term fake news, because it's my term, I came up with it, but it's no longer accurate. It really is. It's corrupt, fraudulent news. It really is -- it's fraudulent. It's not just fake, it's beyond fake. It's really criminal what they do. But I watched BBC this morning, and I don't know much about BBC, other than what, what took place, because people were calling me saying that was a terrible thing you said. I said, what did I say? And they -- I said, I never said that. And we checked it.

Do you agree? They agree. It was somehow generate, I guess, by AI or something. With me staying unbelievable, so we brought a lawsuit against them. They admit they're guilty, but we'll see how it comes there. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We'll see you later. Thank you.

(CROSSTALK) DANA BASH, CNN HOST, INSIDE POLITICS: Welcome to Inside Politics. I'm Dana Bash in Washington. And you've been listening to a lengthy Q&A session in the Oval Office. President Trump alongside Ireland's Taoiseach Martin. One of the biggest headlines, and there are several things we're going to digest here, is the president going after NATO. He did so this morning before he went into the Oval Office, on his social media platform, and he did it multiple times before the press just now saying that, basically, I'm done with NATO. Not that he's pulling out, but he's saying he's very upset with NATO because no one is willing to help.

Thank you all for being here. Brett McGurk, I'm going to start with you. You work for many presidents, including this one. And I just want to sort of put a little context around this. Right here on this show, this time yesterday, we played the president at another event where he was talking about reaching out to these countries, saying some were receptive, some were not. Now, 24 hours later, it seems we got our answer that he's not getting the help that he wants, so he's lashing out.

BRETT MCGURK, CNN GLOBAL AFFAIRS ANALYST: I think, Dana, if coalition building 101 is hard, tedious. You got to be patient. It's capital by capital. You're not going to get all of NATO. In fact, we built a naval coalition in the Red Sea a few years ago.

[12:30:00]
