US President Donald Trump says that "another beautiful armada” is sailing towards Iran “right now”, as tensions rise over possible US action against Iran for what it says is the government’s brutal crackdown against the nationwide protests.
“There is another beautiful armada floating beautifully toward Iran right now, so we will see,” Trump said, without specifying.
“I hope they make a deal. I hope they make a deal,” he added.
“They should have made a deal the first time. They'd have a country".
Trump delivered remarks in Iowa, largely concerned with the economy and upcoming midterm elections in the United States.
Kicking off his campaign for the November election, Trump warned that a victory of the Democratic Party in the midterms "would lead to very bad things.”
"We've got to win the midterms," Trump says in a speech in Clive, Iowa.
"If we lose the midterms, you'll lose so many of the things that we're talking about, so many of the assets that we're talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we're talking about. And it would lead to very bad things. We've got to win the midterms. I'm here because I love Iowa, but I'm here because we're starting the campaign to win the midterms. We've got to win the midterms."
On the US carrying strikes on boats suspected of drug trafficking, Trump said that “Drugs coming in by water is down 97 percent”.
“And we're trying to find out who the other 3 percent is because we consider them the bravest people in the world."
