S.

S. President whether he thought this might be a time to ease tough economic sanctions on iran in order to help the people fight the virus he said. Eva braun you see he will continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact theyre so hard hit with chronic fire theyre very hard so theres a lot of ways they are there. With their economy with their military and with obviously the virus a very hard it would you consider easing sanctions to allow medical supplies to get. Distributed but we know that sanctions hit the people not the government will have anything as to if they want to retain word love d to me and would love to settle the whole thing but i doubt theyll bateson realistically how does a person in tehran pick on a colleague i think they love america i think the iranians love america i think theyd love to be free i think theyd love to have just some of the things that we have you know i remember many years ago friends of mine were always in around they were doing real estate deals in a room they were building beautiful buildings. All over an apartment house as it was they were very successful and then one day there came to an end but you know one of the people of the d red they remember that was a long time ago but not so long ago they remember it and ill tell you they love america they love what we stand for. And were not looking for shit were not looking for government to take over government changing no this countrys been through that many times that doesnt work people do encourage other countries to who are maybe concerned about what i write is what i did as you know i put it out very publicly with respect to iran and said if they need help with respect to the virus wed love to sit with the greatest medical professionals in the world would let their cities are you encouraging perhaps to to lend their support because there are many countries that feeling courage in this case and.

Have a moral responsibility to help them if they ask if they if they needed help i would certainly consider different anything she says they need help with us up to the United Nations im talking about us and what happens is if they want to help because they have a very big case of virus a very very big case it one of the worst on earth if you believe what youre reading and i happen to believe what i see and what i know and if they wanted help we give them help even as President Trump pushes back on the suggestion of easing sanctions the calls to do just that are growing in the United States the latest coming from former Vice President joe biden who insists that now is the time to ease sanctions in order to make sure that the people of iran get the medical supplies they need.
