ON DELCY RODRIGUEZ/VENEZUELA:
“She's doing a great job because she's working with us. If she wasn't working with us, I would not say she's doing a great job. In fact, she wasn't working with us, I'd say she's doing a very poor job, unacceptable, but she's doing a great job. Marco, right? It's all great with Marco. We're taking out tremendous amounts of oil. They're getting, they're making more money now than they've ever made, ever made. We have the big oil companies, and they are getting making more money. We're getting some, they're getting a lot. They're making more money now than they've ever made in the history of their country. Can you imagine?
“I'm pleased to say that this week, we have formally recognized the Venezuelan government. We've actually legally recognized that we have also just reached a historic gold deal. It's called the gold deal with Venezuela, to allow our two countries to work together to facilitate the sale of Venezuelan gold and other minerals. They have great amounts of gold, good land, very good land, but they weren't able to take it. The system didn't allow them to take advantage of the value of their land.”
ON CUBA:
“Many of you have come today and they say, I hope you can take care of Cuba. Because you have problems with Cuba, right? You mentioned I was surprised, but four of you said, actually, ‘Could you do us a favor?’ Take care of Cuba. I'll take care of it.”
(Trump received applause for that line)
After he was done speaking, he let Rubio and Hegseth deliver remarks. Rubio spoke part of his remarks in Spanish. Trump started signing the military coalition proclamation at 10:13a ET. He ignored shouted questions on Iran. Pool was ushered out at 10:15a ET and we will be rolling shortly
