Q: What is your plan for Kharg Island?
“I may have a plan or I may not, but how would I ever say that to a reporter? If I said that to a reporter, Marco would say, please sir, let’s bring you over to the helicopter immediately. I can’t tell you that.”
Q: how will Epic fury affect talks with Russia on Ukraine? Are they on the back burner?
“No, no, we’re talking, we’re talking about it, I think it will get done.”
Q: When is the next round?
“They take place almost every day.”
Q: what did you mean when you said the war was militarily won in Iran?
“I think we’ve won…We’ve knocked out everything, we’re roaming free. From a military standpoint – all they’re doing is clogging up the strait – but from a military standpoint, they’re finished.”
Q: You said opening the strait is a simple military maneuver, what did you mean?
“It’s a simple military maneuver. It’s relatively safe, but you need a lot of help, in the sense of you need ships, you need volume. And NATO could help us, but they so far haven’t had the courage to do so. And others could help us, but we don’t use it. You know, at a certain point, it will open itself.”
Q: is Tulsi Gabbard’s job safe as DNI?
“I thought she did a good job yesterday actually.”
Q: Graham has asked you to reconsider bases in Spain, Germany after strait of Hormuz
Trump said Graham was “right” for asking about that. “I think NATO’s gone down a long way.”
“And don’t forget, he was a big NATO guy for awhile, and now he’s not.”
POTUS said that “a lot of senators and congressmen” are upset with NATO for doing nothing.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In town pool report #8: POTUS departure 🚁
The president went down a long line of reporters that wrapped from the Rose Garden all the way to the residence taking questions. Rubio also answered at least one. Much of what POTUS said was impossible to hear. He was asked repeatedly about NATO and Iran. These are now playing out live; I'll send some highlights once I get back inside.
Trump and Rubio are in M1 now and taking off as of 3:55 pm.
