Dana Perino

So, Jesse, the president talking for a long time during the cabinet meeting, laying it all out.

Did he make a good case?

Kayleigh, one of our allies in the region, the Emirates, their ambassador to the U.S.

put an op-ed, I believe it was in the New York Times, maybe it was a journal, saying that a ceasefire isn't good enough, that this job needs to be completed because they don't want to live with a neighbor like Iran anymore.

Isn't that interesting to see these Gulf state allies step up?

And you juxtapose that against the president's comments today in the cabinet meeting about NATO.

And he said quite clearly, NATO, I expected you to be there before, and now you're coming around after, after we've annihilated Iran.

It's really interesting, this recalibration of relations that we see in our diplomacy.

NATO's mission is to create the essential and enduring purpose to safeguard the freedom and security of all its members and ensure the collective defense.

Well, how are you doing that if you don't join the United States with Iran?

Especially when you look at... I learned a lot today from Steve Woodcoff.

Steve Woodcoff said, we walked in, we were instructed by the president, me and Jared Kushner, to get a diplomatic solution.

And the president was clear, no enrichment, no chance of weaponizing, the decommissioning of Fordow, of Natanz, of Isfahan, of these nuclear facilities.

He laid out everything, reducing your range capability.

Well, what did the Iranians do in response to that?

The Iranians said...

Wait, we have the inalienable right to enrich, inalienable right to enrich, and we have 60% enriched material, 460 kilograms of it and enough to make 11 atomic bombs.

This is a suicidal regime.

And the fact that NATO didn't come on board and say we must end this suicidal regime together, if not now, when?

If not President Trump, then who would have done it?
