Trump Prevents Retaliation After Ceasefire | NATO Article 5 "Depends on Definition" & 5% Defence Spending to Avoid European Burden
//Summary - Level-B2//
Former President Trump said he helped stop an Israeli retaliation after Iran's attack by urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to call back fighter jets, keeping a ceasefire in place. He emphasised that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons and dismissed the idea of regime change. Trump also discussed NATO, saying Article 5's meaning "depends on definition," and pushed European countries to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP. He criticised media coverage, praised U.S. military actions, and blamed President Biden for past failures, including letting dangerous groups into the U.S. Trump claimed wars would not have happened if he were president.

00:01
Sir, hello everybody. Hi Jeff, sir. How are you? How are you? We have breaking news. Everything good. Israel, as you know, turned back. They didn't do that raid this morning. Fortunately, that was a big thing. We appreciate it. They had a lot of planes going and they were going to do something and they they didn't do it and we're happy about that.
2)
00:23
Very happy about that. So, the ceasefire is very much in effect and I think we're going to keep it there for a long time. Did you speak to pres to Prime Minister Netanyahu about that? I did. What did you tell him? Said you got to turn back the planes. They were going to go because uh look, they hit him very hard after we made the deal yesterday.
3)
00:41
They were entitled to, but nobody thought that would have happened. But they hit him very hard and that shouldn't have happened. And then, as you know, Iran hit them very hard last night because of that. I don't think they would have except for the first hard hit. And uh I guess a missile was launched a couple of minutes afterwards which went nowhere which hit nothing.
4)
01:03
And there was going to be a retaliation this morning by Israel and uh I said you got to call back the planes. It's enough. It's enough. And uh they did which I respect very greatly. So nobody was killed. That was a that was the sorry but they had a lot of planes going in the wrong direction.
5)
01:21
You know that right? Do you want any consequences for Israel or Iran for breaking? didn't do anything. No, they didn't do anything. They would have if they I put out a statement on truth and they didn't do anything. Sir, how are you confident that this might not happen again? Say in a couple weeks that tired of it.
6)
01:40
I think they don't want it to happen again. Uh and Iran's not going to have a nuclear weapon by the way. I think it's the last thing on their mind right now. Mr. President, did Iran make any commitments yesterday about uranium enrichment? What? about uranium enrichment and they're not going to have enrichment and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon and they know that they're going to get on to being a great trading nation.
7)
02:03
You know, they're very good traders and they're going to be a great trading nation and they have a lot of oil. They're going to do well. They're not uh they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. So, did they did they promise thing on Iran's mind right now is nuclear weapons. Can you clarify what you meant when you mentioned regime change in your truth social post the other night? Which regime change? Do you want to see regime change in Iran? No.
8)
02:28
If there was, there was. But no, I don't want I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Uh regime change takes chaos and ideally we don't want to see so much chaos. So, we'll see how it does. You know, the Iranians are very good traders, very good business people, and they got a lot of oil.
9)
02:46
They they should be fine. They they should be able to rebuild and do a good job. They're never going to have nuclear, but other than that, they should do a great job, which is exactly where I I've been saying for years, you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. But we're going to be with where's Marco? I think Marco's here someplace.
10)
03:05
You know, our great secretary of state, but we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. They won't have a nuclear weapon. And I will tell you, the last thing on their minds is nuclear weapons. They don't even want to think about nuclear. And our B2 pilots made this all possible. They had a magnificent hit in the dark of night with no moon, no light, no nothing.
11)
03:26
They hit the target perfectly, wiped it out. And uh the press is very disrespectful. I saw CNN fake news going, "Well, maybe it wasn't a perfect hit. It was perfect." They said, "Maybe it did destroy it." We agree it did destroy it, but maybe it could have destroyed it more.
12)
03:44
No, no, it couldn't have destroyed it more. Everyone hit and it's very disrespectful to those great geniuses and patriots that flew those planes through tremendous danger. So CNN and MS DNC are disgrace and so are the others. I mean, they're pretty much all in disgrace, but uh it's uh it's an amazing period of time.
13)
04:06
Now we're going to NATO and we'll get a new set of problems. We'll solve a new set of problems. Do you think you'll meet with Zilinski when you're there? Yeah, probably I'll see him. Yeah. What What would you say to him? Say, "How you doing?" Uh, a tough He's in a tough situation. Should have never been there.
14)
04:24
Sir, you said a couple days ago that you didn't think the US should have to agree to the 5% increase in GDP on defense. No. I was the one that said that's what they should be paying, as you know. Uh, no. I I should do something. And they're having a problem with Spain. There always a problem with Spain because Spain's not agreeing which is very unfair to the rest of them frankly.
15)
04:46
So we won't the US won't be increasing our GDP to 5%. We should pay what everyone else you know they're in Europe. We're not you know a lot of that money goes to rebuilding their bridges, their roads. So it can take heavy equipment and you know we don't have any roads in Europe.
16)
05:02
We don't have any bridges in Europe. So no it wouldn't be quite the same thing for us but we're with them. Are you still committed to article five of NATO? uh depends on your definition. There's numerous definitions of article 5. You know that, right? But I'm committed to uh being their friends. You know, I become friends with many of those leaders and I'm committed to helping them.
17)
05:24
What do you want the role of NATO to be going forward once these other countries are spending more? I think by having a unified system, I think we're going to have stronger peace, better peace, and I think we have that. You know, when I went to NATO, they were broke when I first started this whole thing.
18)
05:43
Seems like a long time ago, nine years, right? But, uh, they were broke. I knew it immediately. I said, "You guys are broke. They weren't paying their dues." Seven of the 28 countries at the time it was 28 were paying their dues, but they weren't paying very much. NATO is broke. Then I said, "You're going to have to pay.
19)
05:59
" And we did a whole thing and now they're they're paying a lot. Then I said, "You're going to have to list lift it to 4% or 5%." and 5% is better. They just I guess they're voting on that today, but they're going to be lifting it to 5%. That's good. It gives them much more power. Mr. President, if there's language in the final summit declaration about aggression by Russia, would you be okay with that kind of language? Well, I'll have to take a look at it, but uh you know, I'd like to see
20)
06:25
a deal with Russia. As you know, Vladimir called me up. He said, "Can I help you with Iran?" I said, "No, I don't need help with Iran. I need help with you." And uh I hope we're going to be getting a deal done with Russia. It's a shame. 6,000 soldiers died last week. More 6,500 soldiers died last week.
21)
06:45
Russia, Ukraine, a war that never would have happened if I was president. So enjoy your flight. Let me ask you one more followup. In your comments just now about Article 5, that will probably make some people in Europe concerned. Can you clarify what you mean? Are you still committed to mutual defense? Uh, I'm committed to saving lives.
22)
07:05
I'm committed to life and safety. And I'm going to give you an exact definition when I get there. I just don't want to do it on the back of an airplane. Okay. And one other question on energy. What's your take on the oil price situation right now? And are you confirmed? I love it. It dropped almost $10 yesterday.
23)
07:22
I put out a statement. Get it down because a lot of people aren't able to do things when the energy goes down. Going to have a lot less conflict. So, it came down and our energy department is doing a great job. We're uh we're drilling like we've never drilled before. We're keeping it down. We're going to keep it down until all these wars are settled.
24)
07:43
Thank you very much, everybody. I'll see you in sleeper cells in the United States. Biden let a lot of super. Biden was an incompetent president. Had no idea what he was doing. He hardly ever signed a document. Other people signed documents for him with the auto pen. It was gross incompetence and among everything else, he let a lot of supercells in, many from Iran, but hopefully we'll take care of them.
25)
08:09
What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten. Do you think you'll get the Nobel Peace Prize now, sir?
