U.S. President Donald Trump has spoken about several major international issues, including Iran, Ukraine, Russia, Colombia and Venezuela. Speaking about Iran, Trump said the Iranian government is becoming weaker. He claimed that the regime will eventually lose the ability to continue firing weapons as easily as before. Trump also spoke about protests in Iran. He claimed that tens of thousands of protesters had been killed by Iranian authorities. He said he had previously heard a figure of around 52,000 deaths and now believed the number could be 20,000 to 25,000 higher. That would put the total close to 65,000. However, these figures were presented by Trump and were not independently verified in his remarks. Trump accused Iranian security forces of using deadly force against protesters. He said protesters are shot when they take to the streets against the government. Trump also claimed that the United States has detailed information about Iran’s activities. He said U.S. forces can closely monitor what Iran is doing. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said the United States had destroyed newly built Iranian equipment in the area. He described some of the equipment as defensive and some as offensive. Trump said Iran had been trying to improve its ability to detect ships because, according to him, Iranian forces were having difficulty seeing them. Trump also discussed Ukraine and Russia. He again criticized the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, calling it a “stupid war” and saying it should end. A reporter asked Trump about videos allegedly showing people being kidnapped from streets in Ukraine. Trump said he was aware of the reports and told the reporter to show the videos to his staff. He added that he had heard about the situation. On Russia, Trump said the United States wants good relations with Russia, Ukraine and other countries. He argued that better relations could be good for business. Trump also pointed to Russia’s large amount of land and natural resources as economically valuable. Trump also spoke positively about political changes in South America. He said the region has been moving from the political left toward the right. He added that the United States has a good relationship with Brazil. Discussing Colombia, Trump praised a politician he referred to as “El Tigre.” He said he liked the nickname because it suggested the person was tough. Trump said the candidate was not expected to win but eventually became president. Finally, Trump was asked why he has not demanded that Venezuela set a date for elections. He responded that he does not believe Venezuela is ready yet. Trump said the United States had helped remove the country from a dictatorship and that elections are wanted, but the timing must be right. Overall, Trump used the remarks to discuss U.S. policy toward several countries and conflicts, while emphasizing pressure on Iran, an end to the Ukraine war, better relations with Russia, and political change in Latin America.
