Q: thinking behind two-week timeline:

“Just time to see whether or not people come to their senses”

Q: did the Europeans help with Iran?

“Iran doesn’t want to speak to Europe”

Q: 20 years ago, you were skeptical of a Republican administration that attacked the Middle East country on the idea of questionable intelligence of weapons of mass destruction. How is this moment different with Iran?

Trump: "Well, there were no weapons of mass destruction. I never thought there were. And that was somewhat pre-nuclear. You know, it was, it was a nuclear age, but nothing like it is today. And it looked like I'm right about the material that they've gathered already. It's a tremendous amount of material.

"And I think within a matter of weeks, or certainly within a matter of months, they were going to be able to have a nuclear weapon. We can't let that happen. I was very much opposed to Iraq. I was, I said it loud and clear, but I was a civilian, but I guess I got a lot of publicity, but I was very much opposed to the Iraq War. And I actually did say, Don't go in, don't go in, don't go in. But I said, if you're going to go in, keep the oil. But they didn't do that."

In response to a different q, Trump said NATO countries should pay more and specifically called out Spain as a low payer.
