Things The President Said Today: June 9, 2026

  • "We have ongoing negotiations in Iran and with Iran, that hasn't stopped. And we could have at least an idea by one or two days from now, but I think it's going well."
  • "The blockade continues to hold 100 percent. Nothing is getting through our blockade. No oil, no income, no nothing, nothing's getting through the blockade."
  • "We had a very good conversation, and he was hit and he hit back, and I can't blame him for that... And we're in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow in any way, shape or form, nuclear weapons, etc., and the Strait will open up right away."
  • "I said, do what's right, but I want you to stop as quickly as you can because they have to stop. It's had to do with Lebanon, and it has to stop."
  • "No, no, we have a good chance of doing it. We should be able to do it in one hour if you want to know the truth."
  • "If we go and bomb, which we can do very easily if we want, and we spend another two or three weeks bombing, they'll have nothing left whatsoever, but you won't have the Strait open for months. If we do the bombing, a lot of people are going to be killed. Who wants to do that? I don't."
  • "What has proven to be a very powerful thing is the blockade. The blockades turn out to be much stronger than bombing."
  • "These federal judges are really giving us a hard time. It's really crazy what's going on with the court system... They're hurting our country very badly."
  • "I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

"So, you know, at some point they'll join." "This has not been an easy evening — all these awards." "Do I have a say on those awards?" "What he did was amazing." "Show must go on." "I said, 'are you sure? I'm not wearing this.'" "They say, 'Sir, it's about 21 pounds.'" "I said, 'not good.'" "Do you believe it?" "Get down!" "You're at CNN fake news." "You should be a happy person." "Just smile, Kaitlan." "Just smile." "He's been killing me for years." "And yet tonight he shakes my hand." "He hugs me." "Everything nice." "He kills me...

"A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships." "Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly." "Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night." "The U.S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves." "I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it." "They haven't received enough pain yet."
