Trump gives green light to Reza Pahlavi for potential change in Iran! 'It wouldn't be a problem for me'

U.S. President Donald Trump made statements regarding his foreign policy agenda in an interview with the UK-based Reuters news agency at the Oval Office.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS IN IRAN ON THE TABLE

In his assessment of developments in Iran and the possibility of a regime change, Trump touched upon the exiled Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Regarding Pahlavi, he said, "He seems like a very good person, but I don't know what kind of role he would play in his own country. We haven't reached that point yet; we are examining and researching many things. But it is still too early, too early to say anything. I don't know what kind of relationship he has established in his own country."

Stating that he has not held any meetings with Reza Pahlavi, Trump said, "I don't know if his country would accept his leadership, but if they did, it wouldn't be a problem for me."

ASSESSMENT OF THE VENEZUELAN ADMINISTRATION

Touching upon the change in administration in Venezuela following U.S. interventions, Trump noted that he had a good phone conversation with interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Stating that he plans to meet with Rodriguez in person in the future, Trump said, "She is someone easy to communicate with. I think Delcy will come. Not yet, but she will come eventually, and I will go to their country."

STATEMENTS REGARDING MACHADO

Expressing that he has not yet met with Maria Corina Machado, one of the prominent figures of the Venezuelan opposition, Trump said, "I haven't met her yet. But I think we will talk. She is a very good woman. I think we will just talk about basic issues."

When asked whether Machado wanted him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump replied, "No, I didn't say that. She won the Nobel Peace Prize."

Upon the question, "What if she brings the award?" he said, "That is something I heard. I don't know, but I shouldn't be the one to say that."

When asked about the future of the regime in Cuba following U.S. military operations in Venezuela, Trump replied, "Probably yes, I think so." Pointing out that Cuba can no longer receive financial support from Venezuela, Trump said, "They cannot get money, oil, or gold. It has been completely cut off. That is why the possibility of (the Cuban regime) falling is higher."

MESSAGES ON UKRAINE AND RUSSIA

Touching upon peace efforts regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump pointed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and said, "We must ensure that President Zelenskyy accepts this."

When asked whether the U.S. would provide security guarantees to Ukraine as part of intelligence sharing, Trump replied, "If we can achieve something, we will help. They and Russia are losing 30 thousand soldiers a month together. Now, Europe will help us with this."

Regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump assessed, "I think he is ready to make a deal. I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal." When asked about the reason for the delay, Trump replied, "Zelenskyy."
