And let me, let me follow up and expand a little bit on what you said, as you remember. Well, in the first Trump term, I was deeply involved in the fight to impose maximum pressure on Iran.

I probably spent two dozen meetings with him in the Oval Office making the case for that. He agreed with me. He did that. (00:43–00:53)
