4:34Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said Tuesday that while he condemns “the past chaos of Iran’s leaders,” he is offering “a much better path toward a far better and more hopeful future.”
“As I've shown repeatedly, I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be very profound, which obviously they are in the case of Iran,” he said during a speech in Saudi Arabia on the first day of his four-day Middle East tour.
Trump said that he wants to make a deal with Iran. But if Iranian leadership “rejects this olive branch and continues to attack their neighbors,” then, the U.S. “will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure, drive Iranian oil exports to zero.”
“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” the president said. “But with that said, Iran can have a much brighter future. … The choice is theirs to make.”
