Prime Minister Takaichi [White House Bilateral Meeting]: I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world.

President Trump: We can take out the island [Kharg] anytime we want. I call it the 'little oil island'. It sits there, so totally unprotected. And we've taken out everything but the pipes. We left the pipes, because to rebuild the pipes would take years for them to do. We are, I would say, we are substantially ahead of schedule. I had to do this. I call it an excursion. I had to take this little excursion, and do something that no other president had the courage to do. Everybody wanted to do it, but they never had the courage to do it.

President Trump: The other night, they had a hundred and fourteen rockets shot at a certain location. And out of a hundred; highly sophisticated rockets, out of a hundred and fourteen sophisticated rockets, every single one of them was shot down with our equipment. All our equipment. It's amazing, actually, how good it is. We want to be sure; and it's a small price to pay to make sure that we stay Tippy Top.
