U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at Joint Base Andrews after delivering a major commencement address at a U.S. military academy ceremony amid ongoing tensions involving Iran.…....
The visit came as Washington continues to closely monitor developments in the Middle East and broader security concerns linked to Iran’s nuclear program.
In an interview aired by DWS News, Trump spoke about Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the potential consequences for global stability. He stressed a firm position on preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons while also pointing to the broader economic and energy implications of the situation.
Trump said, “We’re not going to give them a nuclear weapon, but that’s going to end soon, one way or the other. Oil is going to come tumbling down. There’s so much oil. We have 1,600 ships in the strait that are loaded up with oil that are going to be coming out very soon.”
The comments were made shortly after his military academy address, where he focused on national security priorities, defense readiness, and international challenges facing the United States. His remarks on Iran added to ongoing discussions in Washington regarding regional stability and the risks associated with strategic waterways and energy supply chains.
