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

"As you know, we have a massive flotilla right now going over to Iran. We'll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal. I think it would be foolish if they didn't. We took out their nuclear power last time and we'll have to see if we take out more this time."

2. (SOUNDBITE)(English) FOX NEWS' HOST LARRY KUDLOW, SAYING:

"Do you think a deal with Iran, with this current regime would ever really stick?

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

"They want to make a deal. They wouldn't talk to anybody else, but they're talking to me. But, you know, it's a good question. A lot of people say 'no'. And I would say that I'd rather make a deal that's going to be a good deal. No nuclear weapons, no missiles, no this no that. All the different things that you want. But some people worry that, they've been very dishonest with us over the years, very dishonest. Obama, Obama and Biden. What they did in terms of creating a monster with Iran was terrible. That Iran nuclear deal was one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen."
