Trump addresses Iran, Abraham Accords, Chinese drills in joint presser with Netanyahu  US President Donald Trump on Monday warned Iran against rebuilding its military capabilities, saying Washington would act swiftly if Tehran was confirmed to be developing weapons again. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after their meeting in Palm Beach, Trump said Iran had been “greatly reduced in power” and warned that renewed activity would bring “very powerful” consequences, while adding that he would be open to bilateral talks with Tehran. Trump also said he had a “great relationship” with Chinese President Xi Jinping and played down concerns over recent Chinese naval drills around Taiwan, saying the exercises did not worry him.

00:00Don't forget we made the plan possible by taking out Iran and speaking of Iran I

00:14hope they're not trying to build up again because if they are we're gonna

00:18have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup so I hope Iran is

00:23not trying to build up as I've been reading that they're building up

00:27weapons and other things and if they are they're not they're not using the sites

00:34that we obliterated but they're using possibly different sites we know exactly

00:38where they're going what they're doing and I hope they're not doing it because

00:42we don't want to waste the fuel on a b2 it's a 37-hour trip both ways I don't

00:48want to waste a lot of fuel and you know they've been wanting to do that for a

00:53thousand years with different names after what you know from the intelligence how

00:56close are we to another war with Iran well I don't want to say that but Iran may

01:02be behaving badly it hasn't been confirmed but if it's confirmed look they know

01:08the consequences you know consequences will be very powerful and we give them

01:14a lot of credit I give them a lot of credit Mr. President is the United States

01:19currently open to engaging in bilateral discussions with Tehran we're hearing

01:25reports from numerous countries that there may be some discussions is that

01:29something you would support or something that I would support that I would yes

01:49them build up because if they build up they can't be peace is safe we don't

01:54have terrorists we don't have attacks and we also want to secure the Lebanese

01:59government so what we saw is not meeting the terms of the ceasefire agreement has

02:05failed to disarm Hezbollah actually in your view should Israel strike the

02:10terrorist organization again well we're gonna see about that we'll see about it the

02:15Lebanese government is a little bit of a disadvantage if you think of it with

02:20Hezbollah but Hezbollah has been behaving badly so we'll see what happens

02:25should Israel strike the terrorist organization again well China's been doing naval exercises basically to test

02:34encircling Taiwan can you explain to us what your knowledge is of that what do you

02:39think about that have you had any discussions with well I have a great

02:42relationship with President Xi and he hasn't told me anything about it I

02:47certainly have seen it but he hasn't told me anything about it and I don't

02:53believe he's going to be doing it no nothing worries me nothing well I don't

03:07President Trump put clearly the conditions that of reform that he wants to see in the PA for

03:12them to be involved and I think he put it very clearly what he wants to see the kind

03:17of real reforms not just perfunctory reforms were real reforms so we'll see but they've been
