Fox News alert. Oui, oui. Trump just landed in Paris after the G7 47 swung
through the French capital to commemorate America 250. The Treaty of
Paris ended the Revolutionary War. They toasted the occasion in the world's
largest royal palace. We're going to Versailles for dinner with some of
Europe's great people and we'll see how that works out. I think it'll be very
good. The president will be there with madame and I think we're gonna have a
good time. The president signed another treaty at dinner. More on that in a sec.
But the Europeans are already telling 47, merci.
You've seen European leaders interact very warmly with you at the summit. Do you think that they're coming around to your worldview?
I think they think I was right. I'm sort of always right.
They do call him daddy, but they can also call him this.
They gave the boss a big gift, the EU trade deal. We raised tariffs on him and
they dropped a bunch of tariffs on us to zero. Money's being made and love was in
the air. He was in a hotel and I met him and we fell in love, deeply in love.
And he didn't even want to see Hillary. He said you're gonna win. I don't want to
meet her. You're gonna win. He didn't want to see her. The atmosphere was
intoxicating. Deals seemed to turn Trump on. You know, deals are amazing. I've done
them all my life. I've got into deals that were a hundred percent and they
don't happen. I've got into deals that there was no chance of getting them done
and it happens and they happen easily. So you never know with deals, do you? But
you're gonna find out pretty soon. I think it'll be done. They want to sign.
They want to get back to a normal life.
And Fox News alert, President Trump just signed the Iran deal over dinner.
They snapped a pic of the sheet and emailed it to the gay Ayatollah. Without
Wi-Fi, he'll probably get it Friday. And primetime just got our hands on the deal.
We've read it three times. It's only two pages. The headline? Iran's nuke program
is over. Forever. The mullahs have agreed at the very least that their enriched
uranium stockpiles will be destroyed on site and that the International Atomic
Energy Agency, which means us, will supervise. Since Iran can't dig it out,
we'd be the ones doing it. They only get sanctions relief after the dust is
destroyed. And if Iran backs out, they've still agreed that they'll maintain the
current status quo of their nuclear program. And the status quo is they have
no nuke program. The uranium's buried, the centrifuges shattered, and their
scientists are all dead. So status quo is still bueno. Even then, Iran agreed to
this, quote, we shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. And if Iran so
much as comes near the sites, it'll be trouble. We have Space Force cameras on
every single door, every, well there are no doors, they've been pretty well
shattered, but every area, if somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his
name on it, like Mohammed something, which is about a 50-50 guess, Mohammed
something, they can tell the name, they can give you a serial number. Moving on.
The Strait. Immediately opens. No attacks, no tolls. And we slowly lift the
blockade. Iran's allowed to sell oil again. That means two things. One, the
price of oil is gonna fall. So will gas prices and inflation here. And two, China
can't buy sanctioned Iranian oil at a discount anymore. They have to pay full
price. Oil closed today in the 70s, which was the exact same price it traded at
before the war. So we're back. And here's where it gets a little cute. It says
after 60 days Iran can talk to Oman and the Gulf states about how to manage the
Strait under international law. Now people are saying that that means Iran
can go back to tolling. No. Tolling the Strait is illegal under international
law and the Gulf states would never agree to tolling. They just put that
language in there so that Iran can save face. And this just in, for the first time
since the start of the war, Iran didn't fire at a single vessel in the Strait.
It's a pretty good signal. Next, there's going to be a 300 billion dollar fund
where Gulf neighbors, not us, Gulf neighbors, will invest in rebuilding
Iran. Any relief they receive under this deal, they'll have to get based on
merit and it won't be from us. We don't have to give them anything. But some
people may want to invest. Like, what are you gonna do? Say you can never ever
invest in a country. I mean, it's pretty tough. They need investment because we
did a trillion and a half, maybe $2 trillion worth of damage. So somebody
is gonna have to help them out. This isn't free money. The deal says that we
control who does business in Iran. Quote, we grant all required licenses,
waivers and permissions needed. That means if Iran screws around, they don't
get any investments. Their country doesn't get rebuilt. Usually after we
win wars, we like to rebuild the loser. Japan, Germany, the South, after the
Civil War. When neighbors do business, they usually don't go to war because
war is bad for business. That's the thinking here. Next, in terms of
sanctions, the United States will only lift sanctions as a part of the final
deal. That means not now. That means when the dust's been destroyed and Iran
signs the final deal, which is only gonna get tougher. The deal also says the
United States won't be reducing our force posture until the final deal is
signed. That means the two carrier strike groups remain in position, locked
and loaded. Also, Iran has to keep their dog on a leash. Hezbollah has to stand
down. If they attack Israel, Israel can hit back and hit back hard. But Israel,
they have to behave too. We have a little dispute over Lebanon. I say you can do a
little softer touch, baby. You don't have to knock down a building every time
somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah. A senior official tells
Primetime that Netanyahu thinks the deal's a home run if Iran complies. But
he's skeptical. Here's the bottom line. They'll never have a nuclear weapon. The
straits open. The Ayatollah's dead. Their military's whipped. And we did it in
three months with no ground troops. And Mohammed's not getting a penny until he
performs. And none of these pennies are even ours. And as a bonus, the United
States is now the world's biggest energy exporter. And hopefully, fingers crossed,
we rewired the Middle East so they make love, not war. And we don't have to baby
sit them. Trump actually set the stage for peace in the Middle East in his
first term by bombing the hell out of ISIS and whacking Iran's top general.
This was years in the making. You know why? Because I was the one that killed
General Soleimani. And if I didn't kill General Soleimani, we probably wouldn't
be talking right now about this deal because he was a mad genius. A lot of
people forget that. The tough guys, you know, the tough guys that would drive the
country right down the tubes. Then Trump terminated the Obama deal, and in his
second term, the president visited the Middle East first, remember? Beefed up
the Abraham Accords, sold the Arabs AI, cha-ching, and came home with trillions
of American investment. Last week's airstrikes and Project Freedom sealed
this deal. American deterrence is back. And the Guard lost its leverage over the
strait when we started secretly shepherding tankers out. Senior U.S.
officials tell Fox News that they don't trust the Iranians. They're not in the
trust business. But the Iranians, in private, have been saying all the right
things. Now, that doesn't mean anything. This is a performance-based deal. If they
BS us, we slap back the sanctions and the blockade and maybe bombs away.
If I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their heads.
If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right
smack in the middle of their head. Now, you're hearing a lot of noise about the
deal. Not everyone's gonna love it, I get it. But Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul,
polar opposites, both say it's good. So what happens next? The talks in
Switzerland this weekend are critical. In the first 30 days, the Iranians
prioritized. We'll see how serious they are. One thing's clear, the mullahs know
Trump's serious. They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what
the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a
bitch. The president's no sucker. He's been a part of deals that blew up. That's
why he's sending JD. Why not stick around for the signing ceremony with this Iran
peace deal? I might. You might. Yeah, I might. But I'd rather, this is a memorandum of
understanding. It's very important. But it might not be the kind of a document
that I should be signing. This way, if it works out, I'm gonna take the credit. If
it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD. You better be careful, JD. He's gonna turn
his plane around and get the hell out of here. Yeah, I like that idea.
