“Well, they’re going to negotiate, and if they don’t, they’re going to see problems like they’ve never seen before,” the president said.
“Hopefully they’ll make a fair deal, and they’ll build their country back up,” Trump continued, adding that when they do so, “they will not have a nuclear weapon.”

Before ending the call, Trump returned to his justification for military action. “And I have to say we had no choice in Iran,” he said. “It wasn’t like we had a choice. We had to do it.”
“We’ve done a great job, and we’ll get it closed out, and everybody’s going to be happy,” he added before hanging up.
