White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Travel Pool Report 2/Landed and transcript 🛬
Air Force One landed at Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport at 5:52. We will be loading into helicopters soon en route to Trump winery.
Here's a rush transcript from JBA (with minor abbreviations):
Q: His message to VP Vance?
“Well, I wish him luck. He’s got a big thing. We'll find out what's going on.”
“They are militarily defeated and now we are going to open up the gulf with or without them. And that will be open.”
“I think it's going to go pretty quickly and if it doesn't we'll be able to finish it off one way or the other. It's going well.”
Q: Will you let Iran toll strait?
“No, we're not going to let that. It's international water. If they're doing that. Nobody knows if they're doing that. But if they're doing it, we're not going to let that happen.”
Q: What would a good deal look like?
“No nuclear weapons. I think it's already been regime change. But we never had that as a criteria. No nuclear weapons, that's 99% of it.”
Q: Strait of Hormuz too?
“Yeah, but that will open up automatically. The answer is yes, but the strait will open up if we just left, otherwise they wouldn't make any money… what we have is no nuclear weapons, but we'll open the strait anyways.”
“Don't forget, we don't use the strait. Other countries use the strait. So we do have other countries coming up and they will help out. But we don't use it.”
“I would say this: we will have that open fairly soon.”
Q: Backup plan if no deal to open strait?
“You don't need a backup plan. The military is defeated, their military is gone. We have degraded just about everything. They have very few missiles. They have very little manufacturing capability. We have hit them hard. Our military is amazing, the job they've done.”
Q: Will there be followup talks?
“I dont know, I can’t tell you. I'll have to see what happens tomorrow. They've been talking for 47 years with other presidents and we're not doing much talking.”
