Travel note 9: More color / Iran remarks

Trump opened his remarks by marvelling at the quality of the sound system being used in the venue and is now providing an "update" on Iran.

He repeated previously-used talking points about how the talks (which Iran has denied having) have been "very good" and how his "entire life" is a negotiation.

Event is being livestreamed/broadcast.

The task force members (including AG Bondi, SecDef Hegseth, are seated at tables on staage on either side of the table POTUS is seated (with Bondi, Hegseth, Stephen Miller).

Between the stage and the riser on the left side (stage right) there is a table packed high with drugs and guns.
