Trump is facing scrutiny after downplaying Iranian strikes on Kuwait that reportedly injured U.S. personnel and damaged key infrastructure, even as tensions continue to rise across the Gulf. Speaking after the attacks, Trump emphasized that the U.S. had “hit them pretty hard,” referring to American strikes on Iran’s strategic Qeshm Island, while suggesting the latest escalation would not derail ongoing negotiations. Critics argue his remarks minimized the seriousness of attacks targeting U.S. interests. The exchange marks another dangerous chapter in the widening U.S.-Iran confrontation, with both sides trading strikes while diplomatic efforts struggle to prevent a broader regional conflict.

00:00Iran's attacks on Kuwait, his latest attack on Kuwait, is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
00:07Well, you know, there's a reason for everything. And we hit them pretty hard the night before,
00:13and actually last night. And when it was explained to me, I said, all right, so we'll do that. But
00:19we've been hitting them pretty hard, a little bit. So there is a reason for certain things,
00:25and there's usually a reason that sometimes makes sense to them. But they did something not a big
00:31deal. We got it. We nipped it in the bud very quickly, as we do. We're the greatest military
00:36in the world. But some people would say they were slightly provoked because we took a strong
00:42action for a different reason. So they were reciprocating. I hear the negotiation itself
00:51has gone very well, actually. Very well. I mean, if it happens, and it might not happen,
00:57you know, who knows. But if it happens, it could happen, like, over the weekend.
01:06Pretty much the way it is. It's a different part of the world. You know, I'd say in that
01:09part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner.
01:16It's not bad, but it's true. I mean, it's true. A ceasefire there is much different than
01:22the ceasefire in other parts of the world.
01:24Mr. President, can you explain why you decided to drop the anti-weaponization fund?
01:29So, I love it. I think it's so important. People were, this is a victim right here, but
01:35not only a victim, he was also a student of it. What happened to great people, great American
01:42people, the way they were victimized, the way they were savaged. You have suicides. They
01:48killed themselves. They went bankrupt. They were weaponized by the Biden administration,
01:54by a bunch of thugs, including Obama people. And, like, nobody's probably ever been. I mean,
02:00I can think of maybe two instances in this country where they've had it to somewhere to that extent.
02:06I'm not even sure if it was so much. They were put in jail for long periods of time.
02:11They were accused of things that never happened. They had prosecutors that were radical lunatics.
02:20And their lives were destroyed. And, frankly, we had a lawsuit that, against us on the, you
02:29know, on the weaponization, where the judge, a radical left judge ruled against it.
02:36And we'll see how that all works out. But a radical left judge ruled against it. But these
02:41people, their lives have been destroyed. Their families have been destroyed. Many of
02:45them. I'm not just talking about a few people. Many of them. I'm one of them. I look, they
02:52raided my house, Mar-a-Lago. It never happened. Nobody ever thought of anything like that. It
02:57turned out that it was a total fake. Everything about it was fake and corrupt. We have all the information.
03:02You know, the good advantage to sitting here is we can get information that you wouldn't
03:06get by saying, what we have and what we are going to be showing over the coming weeks or
03:11months, you're not even going to believe. Some of you will believe it. Like CNN will believe
03:15it because they knew what was going on. They're crooked as hell. CNN's a very corrupt organization,
03:22but with a corrupt reporter standing right there. Never smiles. You never see a young, beautiful
03:28woman. Never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing there with hatred
03:33in her eyes. Like she has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military,
03:39because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted. And then we win our election
03:45in a massive landslide. We win 87 percent of the counties in this country. Nobody's ever heard
03:51of a thing like that. And that's because we're doing the right job. And we took a detour down
03:57to Iran because we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon under any circumstances. We can't let
04:02that happen. So the reporters should be happy. They shouldn't be unhappy. They should be very
04:07happy. Because you know what we're doing? We're saving our country. Yes. Two questions. One on Iran
04:14and then one on your birthday. Okay. We do one. The first one is, are you concerned at all that
04:18the IRGC could sabotage any potential deal? And then the second one is, you have a birthday coming
04:24up. I won't say which number, but it's a birthday. So you're going to blow out a candle, you're
04:28going to blow out a candle, you know, some candles on a cake, hopefully. What are your
04:32wishes that you'd like to see accomplish the next year for the next season of your presidency?
04:37Well, I'll go in your order. Anything can happen, you know, when you're dealing with
04:42Iran. But when you're dealing with other countries, but that's a very volatile part of the world,
04:47probably the most volatile part of the world. It's very, the people are volatile. The leadership,
04:53you see what's going on. We've gone through three teams of leadership. It's been a, you
04:59know, we're military. There's no, never been a military like what we have. We could go another
05:03two, three weeks and just wipe everybody out. I'd rather not do that. Very easy to do. They're
05:09ready to do it. They want to do it. They want to do it. But if we can get something
05:14down in writing,
05:15which will accomplish the same thing without killing everybody, I'd like to do that. Most of my
05:19people, I think, would like to do that. Some people wouldn't, but most of them would. But
05:24we had to take a detour as far as wishes for, and I'm very proud of that detour, you know.
05:30By the way, just to finish off on that, we had the strongest stock market in history. And I said,
05:35we have no choice. We have to do it. I knew it would affect it, but I was very happily
05:41surprised
05:41when I saw that today we hit another stock market high. I mean, we have the highest stock market in
05:46history with a military conflict going on or a war. Some people call it war. Some
05:51people call it a military. It's not a big thing for us.
