President Donald Trump answered indirectly when asked on October 31 whether the United States would soon resume underground nuclear tests. 'You'll find out very soon,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to Palm Beach, Florida. Trump said on Thursday he ordered the U.S. military to immediately restart the process for testing nuclear weapons after a halt of 33 years, a move that appeared to be a message to rival nuclear powers China and Russia.

00:00Are you talking about literally resuming underground nuclear detonation tests?
00:05You'll find out very soon, but we're going to do some testing.
00:07Yeah, other countries do it.
00:09If they're going to do it, we're going to do it.
00:10The trip was fantastic.
00:12We took in over $3 trillion, really in profit, if you want to define it that way.
00:18You see, the farmers are very happy.
00:21I think it's 25 million tons, but it's numbers that they've never seen before
00:28in terms of soybeans, in terms of other things.
00:32We have numbers coming to our farmers that the farmers have never seen before from China.
00:38Our farmers are very happy.
00:39I suggest that they go out and buy larger tractors and more land.
00:44Okay?
00:45We want larger tractors and more land because nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:51I've given China great incentives to hold down the fentanyl, get rid of it, ideally.
00:56You know, a lot of people don't know it's used as anesthesia.
01:00It's used as a lot of good things happen.
01:02But unfortunately, when it's developed a certain way, a lot of bad things happen.
01:07Because a lot of people would say, well, why is it made?
01:09I mean, it's made for a lot of good purposes, but it also has some very bad purposes
01:13when you design it a certain way and people can take it and design it.
01:17So China's working very hard on that.
01:19I really believe that.
01:20And they have an incentive.
01:21I'd love to get rid of the extra 10%.
01:24I put a 20% penalty on, had a great conversation about it with President Xi yesterday.
01:31And I'd love to get rid of the other.
01:32As soon as we see that, we'll get rid of the other 10%.
01:35Other than that, we haven't cut the tariffs at all with China.
01:40But we're going to have a great relationship with them, I think, for a long period of time.
01:43If we have a smart president, we'll have a great relationship.
01:45If we don't have a smart president, which is also a very strong possibility, then we won't
01:51have a great relationship.
01:52But China is, the meeting with China was incredible.
01:56The meeting with Japan, incredible.
01:59And the meeting with South Korea, likewise, incredible, all of them.
02:03And trillions of dollars are coming back to our country because of those meetings.
02:07And we have others planned with other countries, but those are big ones.
02:10And the meeting with China was one that everybody wanted.
02:13And the meeting with the new prime minister, who's fantastic, of Japan, could not have
02:19gone better.
02:20We've worked out our deal.
02:21And South Korea, you saw the way we were treated.
02:23Our country is respected again.
02:26When they treat me with that kind of respect, they're treating our country with that kind
02:29of respect, which is much more important.
02:31And our country is respected again.
02:33Do you have any questions?
02:34There are reports that you are considering strikes within Venezuela.
02:40Is that true?
02:41No.
02:41That you made a decision on that?
02:42No, it's not true.
02:43It's based on the nuclear strikes.
02:45Oh, sorry, the nuclear tests that you were talking about.
02:48Are you talking about literally resuming underground nuclear detonation tests?
02:54You'll find out very soon, but we're going to do some testing.
02:56Yeah, other countries do it.
02:58If they're going to do it, we're going to do it.
02:59Okay, you can't clarify whether you're going to resume it.
03:01I'm not going to say it.
03:02I mean, I know exactly what we're doing, where we're doing it.
03:04But other countries are doing it.
03:06And if other countries do it, we do it.
03:07Do you have any more details on the FBI port in that terrorist attack in Michigan that was
03:12said to happen over the weekend?
03:14We're catching people before they ever start again.
03:17Mr. President, your response to Victor Orban saying he will ask for an exemption from U.S.
03:22sanctions on Russian oil?
03:23He has asked for an exemption.
03:25We haven't granted one, but he has asked.
03:28Victor, he's a friend of mine, he's asked for an exemption.
03:31What else?
03:33Mr. President, I'm going to ask about...
03:34Yeah, please.
03:35What did you talk about with Prime Minister Kari?
03:39Are you like candidate only to resuming of the agents?
03:42No, but I have a very good relationship.
03:44I like him a lot.
03:46But you know what they did was wrong.
03:47He was very nice.
03:48He apologized for what they did with the commercial.
03:50Because it was a false commercial.
03:52You know, it was the exact opposite.
03:53Ronald Reagan loved tariffs.
03:56And they tried to make it look the other way.
03:57And he did apologize.
03:59And I appreciated it.
04:00We had a great dinner.
04:01You know, with other countries, as you know.
04:04And I think we have a very good relationship personally.
04:06I think that what they did was wrong, but he apologized.
04:10On the SNAP benefits set to expire tomorrow, which are talking about canned goods and non-fartuals
04:16for trick-or-treaters, is there a possibility, like you did with the military, moving around funds?
04:20Is there a possibility to do that?
04:21Well, there always is.
04:22But all the Democrats have to do is say, let's go.
04:24I mean, you know, they don't have to do anything.
04:26They don't have to agree.
04:26All they have to do is say, the government is open.
04:30And we only need five Democrats.
04:32But they're, you know, they've become a radical left partner.
04:34And they really have become a very radical left partner.
04:38And they've lost their minds.
04:40They've lost their minds.
04:41All they have to do is say, the government is open.
04:44And that's the end of it.
04:45And, you know, largely, when you talk about SNAP, you're talking about largely Democrats.
04:50But I'm president.
04:51I want to help everybody.
04:52I want to help Democrats and Republicans.
04:54But when you're talking about SNAP, if you look, it's largely Democrats.
04:58They're hurting their own people.
04:59Thank you very much.
