During the discussion on Trump’s State of the Union address on OneIndia, US expert Vlada Galan said she does not expect a full-scale war with Iran and believes in Trump’s ability to find the best possible solution for the tension. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, in his first year back in the White House, delivered the longest-ever State of the Union speech, highlighting both domestic achievements and foreign policy challenges — including warning Iran over its nuclear ambitions while stressing diplomacy over conflict.

00:00Yes, indeed, Vlada, two things very quickly. Yes, he mentioned Iran at the very end and says he won't allow
00:05nuclear weapons for Iran.
00:07Do you think that America is ready for another war?
00:09Do you think that what Donald Trump has been criticizing so far, that killing of people, bringing peace to the
00:16world,
00:16and now suddenly to keep Iran at bay from making nuclear weapons as it has been perceived,
00:24do you think that America would accept it given the approval ratings are going down?
00:30Donald Trump has no desire to start another war.
00:33What he's proven is that he can solve many wars, which he has.
00:37I think it's been about seven, eight conflicts that he's managed to bring resolutions in,
00:41and we certainly all hope to see a resolution in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
00:46So, no, I don't believe that Donald Trump has any desire to start a conflict with Iran.
00:51However, the United States also, I do not believe, will stand by idly while thousands upon thousands of people are
00:58being slaughtered.
01:01And that is why I think that we see a build-up, and I think in the next week we're
01:05going to see some real changes in the region.
01:08But I do not believe that's going to yield a permanent presence in the region, nor a long-term conflict.
01:14Right.
01:15And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least, it looks like, 32,000
01:23protests.
01:2332,000 protesters in their own country.
01:28They shot them and hung them.
01:31We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence.
01:37But this is some terrible people.
01:41They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas,
01:46and they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.
01:52After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program,
02:00and in particular nuclear weapons.
02:02Yet they continue starting it all over.
02:06We wiped it out, and they want to start all over again.
02:09And at this moment, again, pursuing their sinister ambitions.
02:14We are in negotiations with them.
02:16They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words.
02:19We will never have a nuclear weapon.
02:24My preference.
02:28Vlada, now, as they say, you know, the past catching up.
02:32Donald Trump's recent comment and post on, you know, Barack Obama and his wife, which was later on deleted,
02:39found a mention in this event also, State of the Union.
02:45Representative Green actually held a placard saying,
02:50Black people aren't apes.
02:51How do you see Trump administration handling these things popping up?
02:57Well, first of all, we see that Representative Green has not missed the State of the Union
03:03and missed a chance to create scandal at the State of the Union.
03:07I think actually he was escorted out of the last State of the Union, if I recall correctly.
03:12So it's certainly nothing to see Representative Green.
03:17Now, regarding Trump and his statement, I do not believe that the president is racist.
03:22He would not be supporting him if the president was racist.
03:27What we saw was the mistake of a staffer that was addressed that came at the end of a screen
03:33recording.
03:33And that was an unfortunate incident.
03:36You know, Representative Green and many other Democrats that we saw didn't stand up
03:43and even applaud the mother of the Ukrainian woman that was killed on the metro in Charlotte.
03:50And that's truly unfortunate and says a lot about how divided the nation is,
03:56but how much hate the Democrats simply carry for President Trump.
04:00And that is truly unfortunate because every American is going to benefit from lower cost of health care medicine.
04:08Every American benefits from having gas that's either $2 or under $2.
04:14Those are things that affect every American.
04:17And it's really unfortunate that the country has become so divided that there really isn't a sense of unity.
04:24And a part of that comes from simply hating Trump, the individual, not necessarily the fact that the policies are
04:31not working.
04:32I'm an immigrant.
04:33I came to the United States legally.
04:35I fought to bring my entire family during the first invasion in Ukraine in 2014.
04:42And I had to do it the legal way.
04:44And many of us support those policies.
04:46And I heard another colleague here mention the voter ID.
04:53You know, when you go to the CVS pharmacy in the United States, you have to show a voter ID
04:59to even buy antihestamine medicine.
05:01You're telling me that the elderly now cannot show voter ID to go vote?
05:05That is absolutely unacceptable and disgusting, quite frankly.
05:09If you can't secure elections, you don't have a real democracy and you don't have a real nation that is
05:15thriving.
05:16What is there to say that we have a continued, stable and democratic process?
05:21It's completely wrong.
05:23Elections have to be secured.
05:24And I saw some recent polling on this issue and a large amount of Democrats across the board bipartisan support
05:32this issue.
05:33So I certainly hope that the Democratic representatives in Congress get behind this because their constituents do support it.
05:41And we certainly hope to secure American elections for future generations to come.
