“I'm going to put it out permanently. I'm going to do it either through negotiation where we're very close to a deal or I'm going to blow the hell out of them to be honest with you and it's going to be very easy for them to do. That's actually the easier path.”
On , Donald Trump, 45th and 47th U.S. President at US Executive Branch & The Trump Organization, spoke about Iran during Trump says Iran ‘is not an endless war’ as conflict reaches 100 days on NBC News.
President Trump made a series of public appearances in early June 2026, traveling to Wisconsin for a roundtable with farmers and conducting an interview with Meet the Press. During the events, he described the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran as a "military exercise" and said it was "not a big war." He stated that Iran's military had been "largely decapitated" and that a blockade was costing Iran $400-$500 million a day. Trump argued that he had not broken a campaign promise not to start new wars, saying he had to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. On the economy, Trump praised Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and said he wanted to let him make his own decisions on interest rates, while also stating he would like rates to be lower and that strong economic growth should not be penalized with rate hikes. On the proposed anti-weaponization fund, Trump called it a "great idea" and said he would pay applicants "the kind of money they deserve." When asked if people who attacked police officers on January 6 should receive taxpayer money, he said he "wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it." Trump also discussed a concept where the American public could become partners with AI companies, and he spoke about ending the electric vehicle mandate, eliminating the estate tax for family farms, and supporting coal production. At the Wisconsin roundtable, he repeatedly referred to NBC News as "fake news" and criticized the network's coverage.
