U.S. President Donald Trump tells Congress that hostilities with Iran have “terminated” following a ceasefire, even as American forces continue operating in the region.
The announcement comes just as a key War Powers deadline expired, allowing Trump to avoid seeking congressional approval for the conflict. Critics argue the move raises serious legal and constitutional questions, especially since U.S. military presence and strategic operations continue.
Despite declaring the conflict over, Trump warned that Iran still poses a “significant threat” to U.S. forces, leaving the door open for future escalation and raising concerns that the crisis may not truly be finished.

00:00You know, it's a very disjointed, unfriendly leadership,
00:03unfriendly to each other.
00:05They're not getting along.
00:06They're very, very confused by what's happened,
00:09because essentially, most of their military
00:11has been wiped out.
00:13But we just had a conversation with Iran.
00:15Let's see what happens.
00:16But I would say that I am not happy.
00:21Their leadership is very disjointed,
00:25very argumentative with each other.
00:27They come back.
00:28One says one thing.
00:29One says another.
00:30They're very confused.
00:33Obviously, their country has been, frankly, decimated.
00:37Their navy is gone.
00:38Their air force is gone.
00:40Many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone.
00:44They've got to come up with the right deal.
00:46At this moment, I'm not satisfied with what they want.
00:49So they want to make a deal, but I don't —
00:51I'm not satisfied with it, so we'll see what happens.
00:55Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially.
01:00And they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with it.
01:03Can you tell us about the new Iranian proposal, please?
01:06The Pressure does not make a deal.
01:06So they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with it.
01:10Can you tell us about the new Iranian proposal?
01:12The Pressure does not make a deal?
01:12The President wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially.
01:17And they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with it.
01:20The Pressure does not make a deal with Iran.
01:35But we're always in touch with Congress.
01:38But nobody's ever sought it before.
01:41Nobody's ever asked for it before.
01:43It's never been used before.
01:45Why should we be different?
01:50Are you willing to send anybody to Islamabad this time?
01:53Are you willing to send anybody to Islamabad, your invoice?
01:58We have great respect for Pakistan and Islamabad
02:03and tremendous respect for the prime minister and the field marshal.
02:06And they're working with us. They continue to work with us.
02:09But the trip is a very long one.
02:12And we're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now,
02:16in terms of the negotiation telephonically.
02:21They've made strides, but I'm not sure if they ever get there.
02:28There's tremendous discord.
02:30They're having a tremendous problem getting along with each other in Iran.
02:35The leadership is very disjointed.
02:38It's got two to three groups, maybe four.
02:41And it's a very disjointed leadership.
02:45And with that being said, they all want to make a deal, but they're all messed up.
02:57I spoke with the winner, a very good man.
03:02As you know, I was very strongly in favor of him in Iraq.
03:07And we had a long conversation yesterday.
03:10I congratulated him.
03:12He won. And with our help, he won.
03:15And we want him to do very well.
03:17And I told him that the United States is with him all the way.
03:20It was a great victory.
03:23The new head of Iraq is somebody that we support very strongly.
03:26Thank you, Mr. President.
03:31Pakistan has opened the land route with Iran.
03:35Did they consult you before opening it up to Iran?
03:39And are you aware of it?
03:40That was a vicious bee.
03:44I know everything about it.
03:45Yeah, I have great respect.
03:47Are you from Pakistan?
03:50No, I'm not from Pakistan.
03:51I have great respect for Pakistan and for the Field Marshal and for the Prime Minister.
03:55Yeah, I know we're good.
03:56On the European Union yesterday, you talked about Italy and the withdrawn of troops from Europe, from Italy and Spain.
04:03Can you clarify with your words?
04:05Well, I'm not happy with Italy and I'm not happy with Spain.
04:08And they've done — they feel it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
04:14Anybody that feels it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon is not very smart.
04:20And it'll be a terrible thing in the future.
04:23If they were ever allowed to have a nuclear weapon, you would have problems the likes of which the world
04:30has never seen before.
04:31And it's not going to happen.
04:33And aside from that, right now they have no Navy.
04:37It's been wiped out.
04:38No Air Force.
04:39It's been wiped out.
04:40They have no anything.
04:41They have no anti-aircraft.
04:42They have no radar.
04:44They have no leaders.
04:45Because, frankly, their leaders are very disjointed.
04:49They have a lot of problems right now.
04:51They're not getting along with each other.
04:54Their leaders — their leaders are not getting along with each other, so —
04:58President Trump!
04:59The European Union!
05:00The European Union!
05:01The European Union!
05:02The European Union!
05:03Why?
05:03Why did you do the —
05:05We raised the tariffs on cars coming in from the European Union because the European Union was not adhering to
05:12the trade deal we have.
05:13So, based on that, now, when they build their plans, of which we're spending — they're spending over $100 billion
05:20all countries, not just the Union.
05:23And when those plans open, there won't be any tariffs.
05:25But we raised the tariffs because they were not — as usual, they were not adhering to the agreement that
05:31we have.
05:32We have a trade deal with the European Union.
05:34They were not adhering to it.
05:36So, I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks to 25 percent.
05:41That's billions of dollars coming into the United States.
05:45And it forces them to move their factory production much faster.
05:50We have —
05:51We have right now, in the United States, over $100 billion of car plants being built.
05:59It's a record.
05:59We've never had anything like it — from all countries — Japan, South Korea, every — by the way,
06:06Canada, Mexico — they're all building plants in the United States.
06:10But the European Union was not adhering to the deal that we made.
06:21So, we're dealing with Iran.
06:24As you know, it's a very disjointed, unfriendly leadership, unfriendly to each other.
06:29They're not getting along.
06:31They're very, very confused by what's happened.
06:34Because, essentially, most of their military has been wiped out.
06:38But we just had a conversation with Iran.
06:40Let's see what happens.
06:41But I would say that I am not happy.
06:46Their leadership is very disjointed, very argumentative with each other.
06:52They come back — one says one thing, one says another.
06:55They're very confused.
06:57They're very confused.
06:58Obviously, their country has been, frankly, decimated.
07:02Their Navy is gone.
07:03Their Air Force is gone.
07:04Many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone.
07:09They've got to come up with a right deal.
07:11At this moment, I'm not satisfied with what they're doing.
07:14Did you decide against bailing out Spirit Airlines?
07:19Well, I guess we're looking at it.
07:21If we can do it, we'll do it.
07:22But only if it's a good deal.
07:23They're claiming that they're preparing to shut down this weekend
07:25because they haven't gotten a deal.
07:26Well, we're looking at it.
07:28But if we can't make a good deal, no institutions have been able to do it.
07:31I said, I'd like to save the jobs.
07:34But we'll have an announcement sometime today.
07:36We gave them — we gave them a final proposal.
07:39Mr. President, will you be able to — excuse me, man.
07:42Excuse me, man.
07:42Excuse me.
07:43Mr. President, day 60, are you going to seek congressional authorization for —
07:47Well, no other country has ever done it.
07:51It's never been — as you know, most people consider it totally unconstitutional.
07:56Also, we had to cease fire, so that gives you additional time.
08:00But no other country has done it.
08:02We're in the midst of a big victory.
08:04This is a victory like we haven't had since Venezuela, okay,
08:08to be honest with you.
08:09We haven't had — but, you know, we have a country that lost its way.
08:14It really lost its way.
08:16That's our country in terms of the military.
08:18Now we have a great military.
08:20We're on our way to another victory, a big victory.
08:24And I don't think that it's constitutional of what they're asking for.
08:28These are not patriotic people that are asking.
08:30You know, when they say — even the losers, even the ones that say all the wrong things admit that
08:38it's been amazing what we've done.
08:40The strait is totally shut down.
08:43It's flawless.
08:44It's totally 100 percent shut down.
08:46Now, we've been dealing with Iran.
08:49They want to make a deal.
08:51They're not there.
08:52They're not with a — not — they're sort of — they get close.
08:56And then a new group of people come in.
08:58They don't know who their leaders are.
09:00They have no idea who their leaders are.
09:03But they're very confused.
09:05And that's because of the success we've had militarily.
09:08They essentially have no military.
09:14Let me just tell you, the war powers.
09:16So, many presidents, as you know, have gone and exceeded it.
09:20It's never been used.
09:23It's never been adhered to.
09:24And every other president considered it totally unconstitutional.
09:28And we agree with that.
09:29The Press, Mr. President, will you ride, will you ride,
09:37especially if China is giving a 4K and a 5K?
09:40The President, the China, it's going to be amazing.
09:43The visit with China and Chairman Xi,
09:45that's going to be great.
09:48We have, we have the trip with China coming up,
09:53and it'll be, I think it'll be an amazing event.
09:59The Press, Mr. President, if you can't get a deal on Iran,
10:04what next, what would you do?
10:06The President, well, right now, we have negotiations going on.
10:10They're not getting there.
10:11They are very disjointed.
10:14They're extremely disjointed.
10:16They're not able to get along with each other as leaders.
10:19They don't know who the leader is.
10:21Their military has been defeated.
10:23We've had a, if we left right now,
10:25it would take them 20 years to build back that country.
10:28But we're not satisfied at this point.
10:32The Press, Mr. President,
10:37the President, are you preparing new strikes on Iran?
10:42Why would I tell you that?
10:43The President, what has been the holdup on that deal?
10:48Are they mobbing?
10:48We're looking at it. We're looking to try to help them.
10:50Something we're not looking to get involved with.
10:52But if we've had a 14,000 job, we are,
10:57I would say we're driving enough deals.
10:59It's one of those things, and we'll do it or we won't.
11:01We'll have something for you to sit here tomorrow.
11:03The Press, Mr. President,
11:03It seems like the other lenders are mobbing.
11:06They think they'll get bumped down in priorities.
11:07The President, well, they will.
11:08We come first.
11:10Hey, you know what it is?
11:12USA first.
11:13America first.
11:14That's my wife.
11:14Including with airlines.
11:16Including with Intel.
11:17You know, we made an Intel deal.
11:19You know that, right?
11:20We made about $40 billion on that.
11:22And someday, Fox and Peter is going to talk about it.
11:25But we helped out Intel, and we ended up making $40 billion.
11:30So we're looking at Spirit different kind of a thing.
11:34But we're looking at Spirit, and we can help them, we will.
11:37But we have to come first.
11:39We're first.
11:40America first.
11:41The CEO of Anthropics came to meet Susie Wilds a week or two ago.
11:44So, what is the latest on your position on that company?
11:47Well, only just at a very good meeting.
11:50You had the CETCOM commander come in here yesterday.
11:53Was he briefing you on a different approach?
11:57Options.
11:58What kind of options?
11:58How would it look different?
11:59Well, there are options.
12:00I mean, do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
12:04Or do we want to try and make a deal?
12:06Let me know for the options.
12:08Do you want to go blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
12:11I prefer not.
12:11On a human basis, I prefer not, but that's the option.
12:14Do we want to go in there heavy and just blast them away?
12:19Or do we want to do something?
12:21They're a very disjointed unison.
12:23As you can understand, they're very disjointed.
12:25I mean, they're not getting along with each other.
12:30And it puts us in a bad condition.
12:32One group wants to make a certain deal.
12:35The other group wants to make a certain deal.
12:37Including the hardliners.
12:39The hardliners want to make a deal, too.
12:40Why wouldn't they?
12:42They have no Navy.
12:43They have no Air Force.
12:44They have no anti-aircraft.
12:46They have no nothing.
12:50There's a reporting mistake that, because of all the firepower required for Epic Fury,
12:56that there are people in the White House who are starting to worry about our inventory
12:59of bombs and missiles.
13:01Are you worried?
13:01No, no.
13:02We have more than we've ever had, actually.
13:05Because all over the world, we have inventory.
13:08And we can take that if we need it.
13:10But all over the world, we have tremendous amounts of inventory.
13:13For instance, we're stocked and locked and loaded.
13:16Right now, we have more than double what we had when this started.
13:22But, you know, we're all over the world with many, many different countries, many different
13:26places.
13:28All packed up.
13:29Now, what happened is, Biden came in like a stupid fool.
13:34And he did — he gave a lot of what we had to Ukraine.
13:39And it's $350 billion they spent.
13:43We don't do that.
13:44Everybody has to pay.
13:45The European Union pays us.
13:47But Biden didn't get money.
13:50He got nothing.
13:50He got nothing.
13:51But he gave a lot of the inventory away.
13:54Now, relatively speaking, it's not that — but it was a lot of inventory.
13:59He gave it to Ukraine.
14:01We built it up.
14:02But we have inventory from all over the world.
14:04Are you going to go to the G7?
14:06The G7 is in France.
14:08You choose.
14:08Will you go to it?
14:09Probably.
14:09Mr. President, Mr. President, did the King change your mind about Britain and NATO?
14:17What about NATO?
14:18Did the King change your mind?
14:19King Charles.
14:20No, no.
14:20The King and I had a great — he's just a great person.
14:24He's a high-quality person.
14:26I love the job he did in Congress.
14:28He actually got the Democrats to stand.
14:31He's a wonderful person.
14:32She's a wonderful lady, a wonderful queen.
14:35And we had a good time.
14:36Mr. President!
14:37Mr. President, will the Lebanese — will the Lebanese leaders be meeting here soon at the White House?
14:42Yeah, they're going to be coming.
14:43Mr. President, when do you — when do you go to — this is going to be your first big
14:47public event since somebody tried to kill you on Saturday.
14:51Do you feel safe going to something like this today?
14:54I don't even think about it, Peter.
14:56What about Pete Rose?
14:58Do you still support a pardon for Pete Rose, sir?
15:03Oh, I think Pete Rose was great.
15:05I think Pete Rose should have been in the Baseball Hall of Fame a long time ago.
15:10A long time ago before his death.
15:13I think baseball did a great disservice by not respecting his achievements on the field.
15:18He was a great player.
15:19I knew him.
15:20Mr. President, sir.
15:21He was a great player.
15:22Mr. President, sir.
15:24Mr. President, sir.
15:26Mr. President, sir.
15:27Mr. President, sir.
15:27Mr. President, sir.
15:27It seems like you're happy with your blockade, and you don't have to restart the war, or you don't have
15:32to make a deal.
15:33Is that correct?
15:34Are you happy with the blockade?
15:36The blockade has been unbelievable.
15:39Powerful, 100%.
15:41It's been actually unbelievable.
15:43If we left right now, we had a great victory.
15:46But we're not doing that.
15:48We're negotiating with them.
15:51Their teams are unbelievably disjointed.
15:54But we are negotiating.
15:55Mr. President, sir.
15:56The NASDAQ and the S&P 500 posted their biggest monthly gain since your first term, sir.
16:03Can you talk about what this means to you, the stock market performance?
16:06And do you believe that this is going to continue throughout the rest of your term?
16:10The stock market is hitting record numbers.
16:12We have more people working in the USA today than we've ever had working, as you know.
16:19It's in many ways.
16:20Now, when this war ends, gasoline and oil and everything is going to come tumbling down.
16:26But right now, as of this moment, the stock market has hit record highs.
16:32We have more people, again, working in the United States today than at any time in the history of our
16:38country.
16:39We are really doing well.
16:42Now, gasoline's high.
16:44Other prices are way down, but gasoline's high.
16:46But when this is over, you'll have a world without a nuclear weapon with Iran.
16:52If you allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, the world would be in great jeopardy.
16:59As soon as the war ends, the gasoline prices won.
17:04You're going down to the villages.
17:06You're going to be talking to our seniors.
17:08You've delivered for seniors.
17:09No tax on Social Security, most favored nations.
17:12Can you talk about everything that you've done to help our senior population, sir?
17:16Well, no tax on tips.
17:18We have the largest tax cuts in the history of our country also, and regulation cuts.
17:23And it's one of the reasons we're doing so well.
17:25So we have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security for our seniors.
17:30We have no tax on overtime.
17:32And, you know, something that nobody talks about, if you buy a car, if it's American-made, you get a
17:38deduction on interest for income taxpayers.
17:42And, by the way, very important, right over there is the greatest — you're going to have the greatest ballroom
17:50ever built.
17:51It's on time, on budget, and it's doing great.
17:55Mr. President, you're going to be hosting the first-ever UFC fight at the White House in 45 days, sir.
18:03Can you preview the event? Can you talk about the card and what does it mean?
18:07The President, you have some of the greatest champions in the world. The arena — let's start building it over
18:11the next week.
18:12It's right here. It'll be about 5,000 seats.
18:15They'll have 100,000 people down by the Ellipse with squeeze, and it's all free. It's going to be great.
18:21Go ahead.
18:21The Pressure, go ahead.
18:22The Pressure, go ahead.
18:23The Pressure, go ahead.
18:24The Pressure, go ahead.
18:27The Pressure, go ahead.
18:30The Pressure, go ahead.
18:46The Pressure, go ahead.
19:00And prices are down.
19:02When the war ends, it shouldn't be too long.
19:05They want to make a deal so badly,
19:06but they're not there yet.
19:08They're not there, in my opinion, they're not there.
19:11When the war ends, gasoline prices are going to tumble
19:14because there is so much right now on the seas
19:18already loaded into tankers.
19:20Tankers that can't escape the straits.
19:23There is so much, like, record-setting.
19:25But when the war ends, gasoline prices will go down
19:29to the lower they were.
19:33I think it's very much.
19:34I think it's very much.
19:36The stock market just hit an all-time high.
19:39And again, more people working today
19:41than at any time ever.
19:43And we just got the largest tax cut in history
19:46with the no-saxes.
19:47Mr. President, if you, Mr. President,
19:53you know, if you like it, this guy is good.
19:58I love you, Mr. President.
20:00Mr. President, thank you.
20:02Thank you, Mr. President.
20:04Mr. President, you said you send weapons
20:08to help Iranian demonstrators.
20:11Some sort of claim these weapons are in Sulaymania,
20:15in Iraqi Kurdistan.
20:16Do you confirm that an adieu that they will pay a big price?
20:23The President, I'm not happy with the delivery of the weapons.
20:27I'm not thrilled with it.
