SOT, Donald Trump, President of the United States: "Well as you know we have a very close alliance with the UK and we always have. We heard that. The United States has very few tankers going in because we're using our own energy now. We've made a lot of progress over the last two and a half years. So we don't have very many tankers going in but we have a lot of ships there that are warships and we'll talk to the UK and we have no written agreement but we have an agreement. They've been a very great ally of ours. So we heard about it. We heard it was one, we heard it was two. And we'll be working with the UK. They'll have a new prime minister soon which is a good thing and we'll be working with the UK. But we have no written agreement but I think we have an agreement which is longstanding."
SOT, Donald Trump, President of the United States: "So we're going to be speaking with the UK. And this only goes to show what I'm saying about Iran - trouble, nothing but trouble. And remember this, the agreement, the ridiculous agreement made by President Obama expires in a very short period of time. It was a short term agreement. When you're dealing in countries, you have to deal in 50 years and 100 years, you don't deal in the short term. That was a ridiculous agreement. And it goes to show you I was right about Iran. And let's see what happens. But I know that it's not American ship, it's UK. I guess it could be one, could be two. And we'll be speaking to them they have a new prime minister coming soon and that's a good thing for the UK."
SOT, Donald Trump, President of the United States: "And Iran is going to work out very nicely. Iran is showing their colours. Going to work out very nicely. Iran is in big trouble right now. Their economy is crashing. It's coming to a crash. They're trying to bring soldiers back home because they can't pay them. A lot of bad things are happening to them. And it's very easy to straighten out or it's very easy for us to make it a lot worse."
SOT, Donald Trump, President of the United States: "They had an impeachment vote the other day, just a big waste of time. It's a disgrace. No other president should ever have to go through it and the vote was a totally lopsided vote, with many Democrats voting in favour. As far as I'm concerned, they already took their impeachment vote and the impeachment vote was so lopsided, it was a mess, it was a massive victory. And you know what, at some point they have to stop playing games because they're just playing games. No, I won't be watching Mueller."

US President Donald Trump said Iran was "nothing but trouble" while speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, after UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt confirmed that Iran had captured one UK and one Liberian-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
"We don't have very many tankers going in but we have a lot of ships there that are warships and we'll talk to the UK," Trump said. "We have no written agreement but we have an agreement," Trump added. "This only goes to show what I'm saying about Iran - trouble, nothing but trouble."
"Iran is in big trouble right now," Trump continued. "A lot of bad things are happening to them. And it's very easy to straighten out or it's very easy for us to make it a lot worse."
Trump also said he would not be watching Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony next week.
"As far as I'm concerned, they already took their impeachment vote and the impeachment vote was so lopsided, it was a mess, it was a massive victory," Trump said.
The British-flagged Stena Impero and the British-operated, Liberian-flagged Mesdar were confirmed to have been seized by Iran's Revolutionary Guards by UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Friday.
