On May 20, local time, Trump made these remarks to reporters as he left the White House for a visit to the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. "We are in the final stages regarding Iran," he said, adding, "Let’s see what happens."
He continued, "We will either reach an agreement or we will have to do some rather unpleasant things. But I hope that doesn’t happen." When asked if he was rushing to resolve the situation with Iran due to the upcoming midterm elections, he replied, "Everyone talks about the midterms, but I am not rushing at all."
During his commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy, Trump maintained his pressure on Iran. He stated, "We will watch what happens. We have hit them very hard. We may have to hit them even harder, but maybe not." He emphasized, "We will not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons. It’s very simple."
Trump also claimed that Iran's military capabilities have been significantly weakened. He said, "Everything has disappeared. Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Almost everything has disappeared. The only question is whether we will go in and finish it or whether they will sign a document."
