Donald Trump said he hopes to be friendly with Iran just days after blaming the country for breaching his campaign’s internal communications in a hacking scheme during a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, on August 15.
When talking about his plan to restore world peace, he discussed the war in Ukraine and went on a tangent about Hamas, accusing Iran of funding the organization. He then said he told China and others that anyone who does business with Iran cannot work with the U.S.
Trump said, “I’m not looking to be bad to Iran, we’re going to be friendly, I hope, with Iran, maybe, but maybe not. But we’re going to be friendly I hope, we’re going to be friendly, but they can’t have a nuclear weapon.”
He continued, “We were all set to make sure that they don’t have a nuclear weapon.”
