Today's Trump news.

1. Escorting oil tankers: Trump said on the 3rd that if necessary, the US Navy will begin escorting oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. 2. Denial of being "dragged into war" by Israel: Trump stated that the US had previously negotiated with Iran, but based on the progress of the negotiations, Iran was "prepared to launch attacks first," including strikes against Israel and other countries. Therefore, the US decided to take preemptive military action. He denied being "dragged into war" by Israel, stating "if anything, it might be me pushing Israel's hand." Trump claimed that currently, almost all of Iran's military capabilities have been destroyed, including their air force, air defense systems, radars, and detection facilities, and their missile stockpile is rapidly decreasing. The US military continues to target Iran's missile storage facilities and launch platforms, "and as we destroy all launch platforms and missile stockpiles, this capability will gradually disappear." 3. Iran: Trump said that Iran's "launch devices are about to run out." 4. Willing to engage with the Iranian government: Trump stated on Tuesday that if the Iranian government reorganizes during the conflict, he is willing to engage with them. When asked if he had missed an opportunity to work with someone from the new government, Trump replied, "No, it's not too late. Don't forget, 49 senior Iranian leaders were killed, which has had a lasting impact, right? New candidates are emerging. Many people are eager to be involved. Some of them would be very suitable candidates." 5. Spain: Trump criticized Spain for "lack of cooperation" in the attack on Iran during a meeting with German Chancellor Merkel at the White House on March 3rd, and announced that all trade between the US and Spain would be severed because Spain is "a bad ally." 6.
