President Trump participates in a bilat meeting with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan

I think them before at another meeting that we have over $19 trillion being invested in the United States, which is a record, and that's building factories, car plants, everything. We're doing things that have never been done. The record was three billion many years ago with a different country, and we're going to be over 19, I think we'll head to 19.3 trillion dollars. So there's probably not going to be anything. Maybe we'll do better next year. I don't know if you can do better. But I just want to say that the relationship has been outstanding. He's a man of great respect. Everybody respects him, and they respect your country, and it's an honor to be with you. And we just signed a deal with Iran, and this country was a very, very powerful ally, and good things are happening. The ships are starting to move now. We're going to have it fully open by Friday. The ships are starting to move nicely. Oil is starting to go, and the prices are coming down rapidly. Stock market is going up rapidly. A lot of good things are happening. And most importantly, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. That was how I got involved in this. We can't let that happen. So, they will not have a nuclear weapon. And other than that, I'd like to ask to say a few words. And if you want, we can take a couple of questions, please.

We love it. Thank you, my friend. See, when you're that rich, you can speak that lowly. I was just wondering, can anybody hear that? But when you're so rich, you have such confidence in it that you don't have to do any strain to the voice. He's great. So, do you have any questions, please?

I don't know. It's a 60-day period or so. I think it's going to happen fairly on time. We've been both involved. I think they're going to want to get it done. Iran wants to get it done. They have to get back to business, and the relationship is now normalized. So, I think it's going to go pretty quickly. Could go faster. Could take longer, too, but it could go faster.

I will. Why not release? Well, because I'd like to get a formal setting first before we do that. But I have no problem with that. It's a great document. Here's what it says. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. That's what it says. It won't have one to buy, to develop. They will not have a nuclear weapon. And I would say that's about 99.9% of what I wanted, because we couldn't let that happen. You couldn't let that happen. And they won't have a nuclear weapon. Now, in addition to that, the strait is going to be open toll-free. And it's toll-free beyond the 60 days. It's not... Somebody said, "Oh, it's toll-free for s." No, no, it's toll-free. Period. When it opens permanently, it'll be toll-free. I want to congratulate our Navy, because the naval blockade was unbelievable. But I will actually, I'll not only release it, I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately, because it's a very important document. And unlike Obama, who could have destroyed the Middle East with a horrible JCPOA, it is the worst agreement. That was a road to a nuclear weapon. Mine is a wall against a nuclear weapon. I mean, I see these people said, "But we already had one." That was he paid a fortune for it. We paid nothing. We don't pay. There was some statement, "We're going to spend $300 billion." No, we're not. We're allowed to go and invest if we wanted to someday in the future. We have no obligation whatsoever. It could be that Iran will turn out to be successful when they have oil. But if we left a week ago, just left before the last two attacks, it would have taken them 20 years to rebuild Iran. So, but I'll go over the document with the media in a couple of days.

About what? Joining the Abraham Accords like the UAE has. Well, I'd love to have them. This is a man who's very advanced. He was early in, and he's done very well with them. The whole Abraham Accords. No, it's... I think they should happen. The big impediment to the Abraham Accords... We have our original countries, very smart countries. Every one of them. Do you notice that even during that period of conflict, nobody dropped out? Nobody said, "Oh, gee, I'm going to drop out." Nobody. I think they're all going to come in now into the Abraham, because the only conflict was a place called Iran, and I understand that, you know, it's a little bit tough when people were afraid of Iran. So, but I think they're going to all start coming in. Good question. Actually.

Lindsey is skeptical? I'll have to talk to Lindsey. He'll be in big trouble. Lindsey's good. Lindsey is fine. He's not skeptical. He's just fine. Look, this agreement covers something very nicely. We're not paying for anything. We're not doing anything. The markets now are higher than they were when we started. Remember that the stock market now is 2500, maybe even more than that, points higher than it was when we said... It's pretty amazing. Disagreements about one thing: that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Never, ever, ever. The rest of it's irrelevant, frankly.

I never thought of it, but I would. I wouldn't mind. I mean, you know, the Democrats, you know, we call them Democrats because they're dumb people. The Democrats are... Well, what I'd like to do is send it to Congress saying you shouldn't approve it, and I'll get it approved because they do whatever they... Whatever I say, they want to do the opposite. It's not working too well for him, by the way. But yeah, I never thought about saying it. Never even thought about it, but I will send it to Congress. I like the idea. I mean, who wouldn't approve it? Let's let them have a nuclear weapon. The Democrats will say, "Oh, they should have a nuclear weapon. They'll go crazy." I like the idea. Send it to Congress, please. All right.

There was the FBI... I haven't heard about it. But I watched the attack that I watched were the fighters, and he saw it too, by the way. He was sitting back home in his beautiful palace and he was watching that, and they were as good a fights as I've ever seen. Right.

The best. They were... That last fight was brutal.

And the two last... All of the fights.

It was all good. It was a great evening. It was very different for the White House, but I wish you could have been there. We built an incredible arena. Dana did a great job.

Well, I don't know. I got away with it because 250 years, you know, maybe in another 50, maybe in 300.

Well, soon we'll be able to do that because the oil is now flowing. So, we took sanctions off because obviously we're not looking to impede the oil. We're in a position to do that soon.

Yeah. At some point.

Yes, sir.

What a nice looking person. Is he from your country? Is he from your country?

No, he's got such a nice way about him. My people are so mean. Handsome guy. Can put him...

No, I can put him. I could put him in a movie right now. Go ahead.

Have a United States with a strong president. It's the only way you can do it. I guess when you think, we have all the agreements you want, the agreements for bad people don't mean anything. Look, we were the ones that blockaded this. They blockaded it, and we then said, well, we blockaded it for them, so they didn't get any oil. You're going to need to have, and this is true with a lot of things, if you have a strong president of the United States, a lot of good things can happen. You know that better than anybody, right?

You know it better than anybody.

Yeah, we do. We'll take it.

Iran will be just fine. What's happening is that at an appropriate time, there's no rush at all. We have cameras from space on it. We know everybody that goes there, which is like nobody. The B2 bombers hit it. The entire mountain collapsed inside it. It's a very tough excavation. Nobody else can do it but us and probably China. They have the equipment. We have the equipment. We're in no rush, but we get it. And when we get it, we'll destroy it.

We're not looking to take it. We're looking to destroy it. We have plenty of it.

So, well, I'm a fan of beautiful places, and I was leaving in the afternoon, and then the French president, who happens to be a very nice man, invited me to dinner at Versailles. And Versailles is not a gold leaf, it's the real deal. And I said, I'd like to do it. I mean, you know, all it means is that I get home later in the evening, meaning early in the morning, and I'm not a big sleeper anyway. I'll be in the Oval Office very... I won't lose any time in the Oval Office. So, I have to say this, our country is doing really well. We're doing better than we've ever done as a country. The stock market's the highest. Everything's the highest. 401ks are the highest they've ever been by 25%. And we're doing really well. And now you're going to see prices coming down. You know, when I took over, prices were very high. We had the worst inflation in the history of our country. Prices were high, eggs were high, bacon was high, everything was high. And the first question I got asked, what about affordability? I did a news conference one day after I took over, and these people said, "What about affordability?" I said, "I didn't cause it, but I'm bringing it down." And now with the fuel going way down, you saw yesterday it went down $67. With fuel going down, as goes fuel, so goes everything. I've always seen that, right? Fuel, you're in a very good business, because as goes fuel, so goes everything. Fuel is dropping. It's now in the 70s per barrel, and I think we'll get it down. When I was in Iowa, and we had great victories in Iowa, and when I left, I noticed at a gas station $1.85 a gallon. That's where we were. It's a little bit higher generally, but I saw two stations $1.85. One had $1.91, and you know, we're going to get around those levels. So, very honored. Thank you very much, everybody.
