President Trump: The departure of Maduro makes possible an incredible future for both nations, Venezuela, and the United States, in which we will work closely to integrate the economies of two major energy powers in the western hemisphere. Energy coming out of Venezuela was very small. One of the things the United States gets out of this will be even lower energy prices.
President Trump: When you add Venezuela and the United States together, we have fifty-five percent of the oil in the world.
Secretary Rubio: It was not in the national interest, or national security of the United States and of our people, to have in our own hemisphere, a country; not just with vast energy reserves, but controlled by an indicted narco-trafficker who flooded our country with illegal immigration, including gangmembers, openly cooperated with drug gangs, and, by the way, stole the wealth of that country to fund a repressive regime, and also benefit adversaries such as Iran. All of that is changing.
President Trump: By the way, we don't want Russia or China going to Greenland, which, if we don't take Greenland, you're going to have Russia or China as your next-door neighbor. That's not gonna happen.
President Trump: The prime minster of Pakistan came here and he made a very public statement. He said that President Trump saved, minimum, ten million lives. Having to do with Pakistan and India.
President Trump: They're very corrupt people. It's a very corrupt state. I feel that I won Minnesota; I think I won it all three times. Nobody's won it since Richard Nixon won it many, many years ago. I won it all three times, in my opinion. And it's a corrupt state. A corrupt voting state. And the republicans ought to get smart and demand on voter ID, they ought to demand, maybe same-day voting, and all of the other things that you have to have to safe election. But I won Minnesota three times, and I didn't get credit for it.
President Trump: If you take a look outside of Greenland right now, there are Russian destroyers, there are Chinese destroyers, and bigger; there are Russian submarines all over the place. We're not going to have Russia or China occupy Greenland, and that's what they're going to do if we don't. So we're going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way, or the more difficult way.
