President Trump delivers remarks at the Future Investment Initiative — 3/27/2026

Summary

• Speaker asserts the U.S. has successfully neutralized Iran as a military and nuclear threat through "Operation Epic Fury" and previous strikes, including "Operation Midnight Hammer."
• Claims to have decimated Iran's navy, air force, defense industrial base, and leadership, including the Supreme Leader, leaving the country effectively leaderless.
• States that Iran is now "begging to make a deal" and has offered shipments of oil (8, then 10 ships) as part of negotiations.
• Implies a key negotiation point is reopening the Strait of Hormuz ("the straight of Trump... Harmouth").
• Credits his administration with saving the Middle East, including Israel and Gulf states, from a potential nuclear attack that was enabled by the previous Iran nuclear deal.
• Criticizes NATO allies for not providing aid in the operation, suggesting it was a deliberate choice to "prove a point" about their reliability.
• Briefly references the war in Ukraine, calling it "not our war" and blaming the previous administration for allowing it to happen.
• Includes a tangential anecdote about unilaterally renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" via a court order and Google Maps.
