STORY: U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday (May 2) that there is the possibility the United States could restart strikes on Iran.

Trump was responding to a reporter's question at West Palm Beach in Florida, before boarding Air Force One.

Asked about a planned drawdown of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany, the president said "we're cutting a lot further than 5,000."

The Pentagon announced the drawdown from Germany, its largest European base, on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war and tariff tensions place further strain on relations between the U.S. and Europe.

8. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYING:

"Well, it's a very friendly blockade. Nobody's even challenging it. Nobody at all is challenging. Just so you understand, Many presidents have been involved in things that are very big. They never had to go through anything with respect to Congress. They considered it to be totally unconstitutional. And the Democrats in Congress had pushed this and probably a couple of Republicans, they are hurting our negotiating ability, which is infinite right now, and they shouldn't be doing it. It's never happened before. No other president's done it. And I'm not going to be the first."
