Trump:

If we did not do this, China or Russia would have done it.

Trump to Chevron:

I remember. Six months ago, I told you to stay, just stay. Things are going to happen. You’ll be very happy. I didn’t know they were going to happen this fast or this conclusively.

Trump on Venezuelan oil:

We are open for business. China can buy all the oil they want from us — either there or in the United States.

Russia can get all the oil they need from us as well.

China, Russia, and everybody else are welcome to come and do business. We’ll be open.

Trump on Delcy Rodríguez:

People in Venezuela did the right thing. They were smart.

They did not want to go through a second wave.

Rubio gives a note to Trump:

"Go back to Chevron. They want to discuss something."

Trump:

Cuba is third world all the way.

Rubio:

Cuba made a choice, they would rather have political control over the people rather than have an economy that functions.

They have gotten away with it for 60-something years because they had donors, the USSR and Venezuela.

Those are now gone.

Rubio:

So the people in control of Cuba have a choice to make. They can either build a real country with a real economy where their people can prosper, or they can continue down the path of a failing dictatorship.

That path will lead to systemic and societal collapse.

Reporter: Would you ever order a mission to capture Vladimir Putin?

Trump: Well, I don’t think that’s going to be necessary.

Trump:

Oil companies will have security guarantees in Venezuela.

Trump:

Venezuela now seem to be an ally, and I think they will continue to be an ally. We don’t want Russia there. We don’t want China there.

And by the way, we don’t want Russia or China going to Greenland.

If we don’t take Greenland, you’re going to end up with Russia or China as your next-door neighbor — and that’s not going to happen.

Trump on Iran protests:

Iran is in serious trouble. It looks to me like the people are taking control of certain cities — something nobody thought was really possible just a few weeks ago.

Trump on Iran protests:

I’ve made it very clear that if they start killing people the way they have in the past, we will get involved. We will hit them very hard where it hurts.

That does not mean boots on the ground, but it does mean hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.

Trump on Syria:

We get along with both the Kurds and the Syrian government — as you know, very well.

They have been natural enemies over the years, but we have good relations with both, and we want to see Syria succeed.

So far, I think there has been progress, but this violence is just breaking out again, and we want to see it stopped.

Trump on Colombia’s Petro:

He’s been very hostile toward us — toward the country and toward me. He called me a dictator and said a lot of other things. He called Biden some terrible names too, far worse than what he called me.

But he reached out yesterday through intermediaries and said he wants to meet. That’s fine with me. I’ve made up with people before, you know.

So we’re going to have a meeting, and we actually had a very good conversation.

Reporter: Would you meet with Delcy Rodríguez?

Trump: Yeah, I am going to meet a lot of people...

Trump on Machado:

We also have a young woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize who is going to come in.

She’s coming to pay her respects to our country — really to me, but as you know, I represent the country, nothing more.

She’ll be coming sometime next week — I think Tuesday or Wednesday — and we’ll see how that goes.

Trump on the Nobel Peace Prize:

Norway is very embarrassed by what took place.

They are getting decimated.

Trump:

I can't think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me.

Obama got the Nobel Prize, he still has no idea why he got it.

Trump:

People of Venezuela are going wild over this.

They named a street after President Trump.

You attack a country and they name a street after you, that has never happened before.

Trump on Iran:

I say to the Iranian leaders: you’d better not start shooting, because we’ll start shooting too.
