Trump LIVE on Iran| U.S.–Iran tensions continue to rise amid military deployments, nuclear warnings, and high-stakes diplomacy. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned Iran to return to nuclear negotiations or face severe consequences, even as Washington moves additional warships and military assets toward the Middle East. Recent reports indicate the U.S. has strengthened its regional presence, including carrier strike groups and tens of thousands of troops positioned across nearby bases, though not inside Iran itself.
Iran, however, has pushed back strongly, insisting it will not give up uranium enrichment and warning that any attack could trigger a wider regional conflict. At the same time, talks between the two sides continue behind the scenes, showing the situation remains volatile but not yet at full-scale war.

00:00What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva tomorrow?
00:03So I'll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they'll be very important.
00:09We'll see what can happen.
00:11But typically, Iran's a very tough negotiator.
00:13They're good negotiators or bad negotiators.
00:16I would say they're bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B-2s in
00:21to knock out their nuclear potential.
00:24And we had to send the B-2s.
00:25I hope they're going to be more reasonable.
00:28They want to make a deal.
00:30Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?
00:33No.
00:34No, I think they want to make a deal.
00:36I don't think they want the consequences of not making a deal.
00:40They want to make a deal.
00:41Hello, everybody.
00:44So, great financial numbers you saw.
00:46Low inflation, very low inflation.
00:48Prices are down, way down.
00:52Gasoline is less than $2 in many places.
00:55Gallant, which nobody expected to see, but I did.
00:58We're going by the initial expression of drill, baby drill.
01:04And prices are coming down very strongly.
01:06And as goes gasoline and oil and gas, so goes the rest of other products that were high because of
01:14Biden.
01:14So, we inherited a mess, and we've brought our country back very, very powerfully.
01:21Crime numbers are way down, despite the fact that they let in 25 billion people, many of whom should not
01:27have been allowed into our country with their open border policy.
01:30But it's, the country is doing very well.
01:33Any questions?
01:34What are you expecting from these Iran talks at Geneva tomorrow?
01:37So, I'll be involved in those talks indirectly.
01:42And they'll be very important.
01:43We'll see what can happen.
01:45But typically, Iran's a very tough negotiator.
01:47They're good negotiators.
01:48Or bad negotiators.
01:49I would say they're bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B-2s in
01:55to knock out their nuclear potential.
01:57And we had to send the B-2s.
01:59I hope they're going to be more reasonable.
02:02They want to make a deal.
02:03Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?
02:07No.
02:08No, I think they want to make a deal.
02:10I don't think they want the consequences of not making a deal.
02:14They want to make a deal.
02:15You sit down with Democrats as we got DHS funding, sir.
02:19I will.
02:19But, you know, we have to protect our law enforcement.
02:21They've done a great job.
02:22I just got finished saying that we have the best crime numbers we've had in many years.
02:27And murders, 125 years.
02:30And that's despite a lot of people that shouldn't have been led into our country, coming into our country.
02:35Criminals.
02:35Many, many criminals.
02:36But we've taken out tens of thousands of people, brought them back to their countries.
02:42But many of the criminals that were brought in, allowed to come in, have been removed.
02:47So, you know, we're okay.
02:48But to have the best crime numbers, which aren't made by me.
02:51These are made by people that do that.
02:54Many left bleeding.
02:55We have the best murder numbers.
02:58Horrible thing to say.
03:00But we have the best murder numbers since 1900.
03:04That's before my father was born.
03:06125 years.
03:08Think of it.
03:08The best crime number since 1900.
03:11Having to do with murder.
03:13And really good crime numbers.
03:15The best in years.
03:16Are there any demands that Democrats are making that you're okay with?
03:19I don't like some of the things they're asking for.
03:22We're going to protect law enforcement.
03:23We're going to protect ICE.
03:24You know, they're part of the whole system that is working in Washington, D.C. now is considered a very
03:31safe city.
03:32When I took over, it was a city that you were losing two, three people a week.
03:37Over 100 people a year were being murdered in Washington.
03:41Now it's considered a very safe city.
03:44And we did that.
03:45I did it over a fairly short period of time, too.
03:47On DHS, recent news reports have discussed the widespread belief that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are in a personal
03:55relationship.
03:56Is that a bad look?
03:58Recent news reports have discussed the possibility that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are in a close personal relationship.
04:05Is that a bad look?
04:06And do you think she'll be in the job much longer?
04:08I don't know about that.
04:09I mean, I haven't heard that.
04:11But I'll find out about it.
04:13But I have not heard of it.
04:15Will you leave your State of the Union speech if we're still in a shutdown next week?
04:21Well, I think I would.
04:22It wouldn't bother me.
04:23I would give it to him.
04:25How are the negotiations going?
04:27With which one?
04:28We have a lot of negotiations.
04:29No, with the government shutdown.
04:31This is a Democrat shutdown.
04:33This has nothing to do with Republicans.
04:35This is a Democrat shutdown.
04:36They're upset that the crime numbers are so good.
04:39They're very unhappy that the crime numbers are so good.
04:42They're very unhappy that there's a movement for getting voter ID.
04:47They want voter ID.
04:49The population, 98%, want voter ID.
04:52They don't want voter ID because they want to cheat in elections.
04:55They also want other things.
04:57They don't want bail-in ballots.
04:59They want to end bail-in ballots because it's corrupt.
05:02And one other thing that they're insisting on is proof of citizenship.
05:05And the Democrats don't want to give proof of citizenship.
05:09They don't want to give voter ID.
05:11Think of it.
05:11Who wouldn't want proof of citizenship?
05:14I ask you, Stan.
05:15Who wouldn't want voter ID?
05:18And why would you want mail-in ballots if you know it's corrupt?
05:21It's a corrupt system.
05:23We're the only country in the world that has this system of mail-in ballots.
05:28Think of it.
05:29The only country in the world that has this system of mail-in ballots because they cheat.
05:35And the fact is they could never get elected if they ever changed.
05:38They know it.
05:38If you had voter ID, if you had proof of citizenship, they could never win an election.
05:43And they know that.
05:44And they're fighting to the hill.
05:47And I put this down with men playing in women's sports.
05:51I put it down with transgender for everybody.
05:53I put it down with their horrible open border policy as being ridiculous.
05:59They don't want voter ID.
06:02No voter ID.
06:03And I put that down in the same category with men playing in women's sports.
06:08I'm going to add a fourth category.
06:10They don't want voter ID.
06:12Go ahead.
06:12So Hillary Clinton said in an interview today that she and her husband are getting pulled into the Epstein matter
06:18to divert attention from you and that your administration has something to hide.
06:23What's your response?
06:24I have nothing to hide.
06:25I've been exonerated.
06:27I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
06:29They went in hoping that they'd find it and found just the opposite.
06:32I've been totally exonerated.
06:33In fact, Jeffrey Epstein was fighting that I don't get elected with some author, a sleazebag, by the way.
06:40And I've been totally exonerated.
06:43No, no.
06:43They're getting pulled in.
06:45And that's their problem.
06:46I don't know.
06:46They'll have to see what happens.
06:47But I watched her in Munich.
06:49And she seriously has Trump derangements in.
06:51She thinks that she should publicly testify.
06:53I've been totally exonerated on Epstein.
06:56And it's really interesting because they've been pulled in.
06:59Think of it.
07:00They've been pulled in.
07:01Clinton and many other Democrats have been pulled in.
07:04Yeah.
07:04The U.S.
07:05has general court just sprinting from the Caribbean to the Middle East.
07:08It's about to hit its eight-month deployment.
07:10Pittsburgh, usually they're deployed for about six months or so.
07:13Is there any concern that U.S. carriers are being stretched too thin?
07:17I'll answer the question, Larry.
07:19Mr. President, you're warning Cuba to make a deal.
07:22What does that deal look like?
07:23What do you want them to do?
07:24To make a deal.
07:24Cuba is right now a failed nation.
07:27They don't even have jet fuel to get for airplanes to take off.
07:31They're clogging up their runway.
07:33We're talking to Cuba right now.
07:35They have Marco Rubio talking to Cuba right now.
07:38And they should absolutely make a deal because it's really a humanitarian threat.
07:44And we have a lot of great Cuban Americans, and they're going to be very happy when they're going to
07:49be able to go back and say hello to their relatives and do things that they shouldn't have been allowed
07:53to do for a long time.
07:54I'm very interested in the people that are here that were treated so badly by Castro and the Cuban authorities.
08:01They have been treated horribly.
08:03So we'll see how it all turns out.
08:05But Cuba and us, we are talking.
08:08In the meantime, there's an embargo.
08:11There's no oil.
08:12There's no money.
08:13There's no anything.
08:14If a deal isn't made, would you consider an operation like the one in Venezuela?
08:18I don't want to answer that.
08:19Why would I answer that if I was?
08:21It wouldn't be a very tough operation, as you can figure.
08:26But I don't think that'll be necessary.
08:28Mr. President, Marco Rubio received really positive reviews in Munich.
08:32Like, is there a scenario in which you would support him at the top of the ticket at 28th?
08:37Something I don't have to worry about now.
08:39I've got three years to go.
08:41So it's something I don't have to worry.
08:43J.D.'s fantastic and Marco's, they're both fantastic.
08:45I think, really.
08:46And I think Marco did a great job in Munich.
08:49President Xi, in your talk with him recently, warned about sending more weapons to Taiwan.
08:55What was your response to him?
08:57Are you going to send more weapons to Taiwan?
08:58I have a response.
08:59I'm talking to him about it.
09:01We had a good conversation.
09:02And we'll make a determination pretty soon.
09:05Tell us about your trip to...
09:07We have a very good relationship with presidents.
09:09In fact, I'll be going, I guess, in April.
09:11Sorry.
09:12Tell us about your trip to Rome, Georgia on Thursday, your trip to Marjorie Taylor Greene's old days.
09:17Well, we have a lot of people that want to take Marjorie Taylor Greene's place.
09:22And many, many candidates, and I have to choose one.
09:25And they say whoever I endorse is going to win.
09:28But we have a lot of good candidates who want to take our place.
09:31So your board of peace meets for the first time this week.
09:34You said it could be the most consequential international organization ever.
09:38And that's a high bar.
09:39What do you want for this first meeting?
09:40Well, I think it can.
09:41We're going to have all world leaders.
09:42They're putting up tremendous amounts of money.
09:44And I think it's going to go far beyond Gaza.
09:47I think it'll be peace all over the world.
09:49And we're working in conjunction with the United Nations.
09:52Look, the United Nations is there.
09:54They haven't lived up to potential.
09:57United Nations has great potential.
09:59They haven't lived up to the potential.
10:00But I think they might aid us a little bit.
10:03But we have the greatest leaders in the world joining the Board of Peace.
10:07And we'll be doing it in conjunction with, in some cases, the United Nations and see if we can get
10:13the United Nations to get on the ball.
10:16You've been a kingmaker in a lot of Republican primaries.
10:19A lot of people...
10:20Including foreign nations.
10:22I was very honored to see that a very wonderful prime minister in Japan won by a landslide.
10:29I think she was going to win.
10:30But she won by just about the biggest vote ever in Japan.
10:34And she attributed my endorsement for that.
10:37And that's very good because we have a great relationship with her and Japan.
10:41A lot of Republicans in D.C. are asking you to endorse John Cornyn.
10:45But you haven't yet.
10:46Is there a chance you wouldn't endorse Paxton?
10:48And why haven't you endorsed Cornyn?
10:50I just haven't made a decision in that race yet.
10:52He's got a ways to go.
10:53And I haven't.
10:54He's a good man.
10:54John is a good...
10:55I like all three of them, actually.
10:57I like all three.
10:58Those are the toughest races.
11:00They've all supported me.
11:02They're all good.
11:03And you're supposed to pick one.
11:05So we'll see what happens.
11:06But I support all three.
11:07Are you involved in the rift between UAE and Saudi Arabia?
11:11No, I'm not.
11:12I would be.
11:13I would be.
11:14Well, I could settle it very easily.
11:16But they have a...
11:17They do indeed have a rift.
11:19And we could get it settled very easily.
11:21I settle wars.
11:22I settle a lot of rifts between countries.
11:24You've been noticing, right?
11:26That's an easy one to settle.
11:28In Venezuela, basically, last week, said that Nicolás Maduro is still a legitimate president
11:35and is innocent.
11:36I know you said the relationship is a 10, but I'm curious what's your thoughts on that.
11:40I think we have a great relationship.
11:41I think she probably has to say that.
11:42I think, politically, maybe she has to say that.
11:45But the relationship with Venezuela, she's doing a very good job.
11:50And I fully understand that statement.
11:52Because?
11:53You're going to have Ukraine talks tomorrow as well in Geneva with a quick call from Jericho.
11:59What are you expecting there?
12:00Well, we have big talks.
12:01It's going to be very easy.
12:03I mean, look, so far, Ukraine better come to the table fast.
12:08That's all I'm telling you.
12:10We are in a position.
12:13We want them to come in.
12:14By the way, I watched AOC answering questions in Munich.
12:18This was not a good look for the United States.
12:21I watched Gavin Newsom answering questions in Munich.
12:26And this was a bad look for our country.
12:29This was a bad.
12:30These two people are incompetent.
12:32And at least Hillary's competent.
12:34She's just Trump deranged.
12:35She was so deranged.
12:37She is an angry woman.
12:39But I watched the other two speaking and answering basic questions.
12:45Look, Gavin has destroyed California.
12:48And AOC, I never really got her to, I never heard her speak very much.
12:52And they started answering questions.
12:54She had no idea what was happening.
12:56She had no idea how to answer, you know, very important questions concerning the world.
13:02But she can't answer questions concerning New York City either.
13:06Because New York City has got some problems.
13:08Now that Gaza's entry phase too, should Israel lift its ban on foreign journalists being allowed into Gaza?
13:15We'll be lifting a lot of bans pretty soon.
13:17I think you're going to see everything opening up.
13:19Gaza, look, we have peace in the Middle East.
13:21Now, you have some flames here and there.
13:25But we essentially have peace in the Middle East.
13:27And that happened primarily when we did the B-2 attack on the nuclear potential nuclear power.
13:33They would have had a nuclear weapon within one month.
13:36If that happened, it would have been a whole different deal.
13:39Okay.
13:39Thank you very much, everybody.
13:41One thing, so the $5 billion that you announced yesterday from the Board of Peace, is that a down payment?
13:46Or are you expecting it?
13:47We want to help people.
13:48That's being as compared to the kind of money that has been spent in the Middle East by Bush, by
13:54Obama, by all of these people, by Biden.
13:57I mean, the money he spent, but the money he spent, you know, that's such a small amount of money
14:02by comparison.
14:04But we want to make it successful.
14:06I think it has the chance to be the most consequential board ever assembled of any kind.
14:12I was calling for Ron DeSantis.
14:14Great.
14:15We had a great time.
14:17We had Ron and a couple of other people.
14:18Two great coaches, as you know.
14:20Two greatest coaches, I would say, certainly at college football.
14:24And we had a good time playing golf.
14:26Thank you very much.
14:27I didn't get to play today because I'm working on other things, very important things, much more important than golf.
14:33Thank you very much.
14:33Can you ask Melania for Valentine's question?
14:36She's on the plane.
14:38Melania's on the plane.
14:39We have a movie star on the plane.
14:40Did you have any Valentine's Day plans with her?
14:43Did I have what?
14:44Did you do anything for Valentine's with her?
14:47Can you give her flowers?
14:49Better not tell you that.
14:51Goodbye, everybody.
14:52That's the toughest question.
14:54Now, she's very—I'm proud of the fact, you know, her movie's such a success.
14:57It's a tremendous hit.
15:00And she does a good job.
15:02She does some very consequential work.
15:05I think you're going to see in the end that she's going to go down as one of the truly
15:08great first ladies.
15:09When you see what she's doing with Russia, Ukraine, and so many of the other things she's doing, she's done
15:14a good job.
15:15She works very hard.
15:16Is my spirit invited to the White House this week, Mr. President?
15:20Just so you understand, the governors were all other than two.
15:24One was Colorado, where he's got a 73-year-old woman who's probably got serious cancer, confined.
15:32And for some time, in solitary confinement, because she pointed out the voter theft that was taking place.
15:39In other words, she pointed it out.
15:41They arrested her, and they gave her a nine-year sentence.
15:45And he better let her go, because it's a disgrace.
15:48And the other guy's just a bad governor.
15:50He's not doing a good job.
15:51Wes Moore, he's doing a terrible job.
15:53And you can see that.
15:55Well, I didn't invite those two.
15:56If the rest of them don't want to show up, that's okay.
15:58I hear they're coming, a lot of them.
16:00The White House is a great place to be.
16:03But, no, I don't like the job that Wes Moore's doing.
16:05I don't like the job he's doing at the bridge.
16:07I don't like the fact that he did that horrible, you know, with the pipes at the Potomac.
16:12And he's not doing the job.
16:14They've got to do it.
16:15And I'm going to have to get the federal government involved in getting it fixed, because he can't fix anything.
16:21Thank you very much.
