"When the president saw me call, I was just as surprised as he was that he answered. So, we're 20 days into this war, and like so many other reporters, I have called the president every single day to no avail."
"Trump insisted to her that Iran was two weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. And according to the president, they had definitive plans to use it."
"There is no evidence that we have heard this from absolutely anyone. But this is his argument. This is why we had to do it."
Stephanie Ruhle interviewed President Trump unexpectedly after numerous failed attempts. During the 15-minute call, Trump expressed that he shouldn't answer her due to her previous criticisms. He claimed Iran was close to developing a nuclear bomb and had plans to use it, despite a lack of evidence supporting this assertion. Ruhle noted the unusual nature of the interview, as she had been trying to reach him daily without success. The conversation touched on Trump's views regarding regime change in Iran.
