nuclear initiative is peaceful and that uranium enrichment is our right and an inalienable right and we want to implement this right under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons I think that enrichment will not never stop Rafael Grossi the head of the International Atomic Strength Agency explained on CBS that it is clear that there has been severe damage but it s not total damage Grossi also reported the U N nuclear watchdog has faced pressure to summary that Iran had a nuclear weapon or was close to one but we purely didn t because this was not what we were seeing Of the leak of the intelligence assessment Trump announced anyone ascertained to be responsible should be prosecuted Journalists who received it should be sought who their source was he stated You have to do that and I suspect we ll be doing things like that His press secretary revealed Thursday that the administration is exploring the matter A temporary pass for immigration raids on farms and hotels As he played up his immigration crackdown Trump offered a more nuanced view when it comes to farm and hotel workers I m the strongest immigration guy that there s ever been but I m also the strongest farmer guy that there s ever been the Republican president announced He noted that he wants to deport criminals but it s a obstacle when farmers lose their laborers and it destroys their businesses Trump declared his administration is working on specific kind of a temporary pass that could give farmers and hotel owners control over immigration raids at their facilities Earlier this

is a very good thing Trump revealed China s going to be paying a lot of tariffs but we have a big arrangement deficit they understand that Trump commented he would be open to removing sanctions on Iranian oil shipments to China if Iran can show they can be peaceful and if they can show us they re not going to do any more harm But the president also indicated the U S isn t afraid to retaliate against Beijing When Fox News Channel host Maria Bartiromo noted that China has tried to hack U S systems and steal intellectual property Trump replied You don t think we do that to them
