Trump: What we are doing now is eliminating any possibility of them obtaining nuclear missiles.

Trump's interview after the World Cup final ceremony, machine translation:
Trump: We are proud of our country. We are very proud of what everyone has done. Congratulations to Gianni Infantino and all his staff for their incredible work.

This was one of the biggest events of any kind that has ever taken place. So we are very happy that it was so successful. People came from all over the world and loved our country.

You know, this event showcased our country from a different perspective. It was an amazing event; it was a great event, and I’m glad all of you enjoyed it.

Reporter: You said Argentina lost.
Trump: Is that what you say?

Reporter: You said Argentina lost.
Trump: No, I didn’t say that. I think both played well. I’m saying Spain really played better.

Both played well. I mean, they reached the final, and it was really very exciting. Spain seemed dominant, but the match was very close. So it was great; it was a great event, yes.

Reporter: [Reporter’s question is unclear.]
Trump: Well, we feel very bad. But you know, those great people, those great patriots, fought all this time so that Iran could not have nuclear weapons.

Iran has been severely, severely damaged. They have lost almost all of their military capability. There is very little left for them. They have some missiles and drones. They have some production capability, but not much.

We control the Strait of Hormuz. They control nothing. So we’ll see what happens.

Tonight we hit them very hard again, and we did this in honor of those great patriots who are probably three, not two.
Reporter: What will be the consequences of China’s interference in the U.S. elections?
Trump: We will talk about it later. We will talk to them, I’m sure.
Reporter: Can I ask if you spoke with Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada?
Trump: Yes, I did. Yes, I spoke.
Reporter: How did the conversation go?
Trump: It went well. But I told him he needs to stop the smoke from those fires because it’s poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned.
I have a good relationship with Mark Carney. But you know, we need to stop the fires over there. If we can help them, we will. But maybe they should pay us something for the damages, or maybe we should impose tariffs.
The situation was terrible. Businesses were shutting down; especially in Michigan. If you look at Detroit in Michigan, they had to shut everything down. They had to close their auto factories and many other centers.
I don’t ever remember anything like this happening. This situation started gradually in the last four or five years. Before that, I don’t ever remember anything like this happening.
Reporter: Did you have a chance to talk to the Prime Minister of Spain as well?
Trump: Yes. I spoke with Spanish officials and congratulated them on having such a great team. I spoke with many people.
Reporter: You previously had tensions with Spain.
Trump: No, I have no tensions. I have no tensions with anyone.
Reporter: [Reporter’s question about Spain is unclear.]
Trump: Well, [unclear]. You know, it has a lot of capability. But as far as I know, in about a month [unclear] to maximize it. So they are going to send it and maximize it. I think in about a month.
Reporter: Mr. President, did you talk to the Prime Minister of Canada?
Trump: Yes. I was just answering. I talked to him about it. I said, “You need to stop it.”
The issue is essentially forest management, and they need to know how to do it. If you go back four or five years, I don’t remember us ever having this problem. But now we have this problem.
Someone at the venue: Come this way, Mr. President.
Reporter: You said you would end the war in four or five weeks.

Trump: [Beginning of response is unclear.] What we are doing now is much bigger. We were doing more limited work before; we wanted to prevent them from achieving a specific capability. Now we are finishing the job.

So it’s really not the same previous issue. What we are doing now is eliminating any possibility of them obtaining nuclear missiles.

If you look, after a week and a half—not four weeks; a week and a half or two weeks—we stopped them; probably... but I don’t want to use the word “probably.”
