WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Chuck Fleischmann, in a one-on-one interaction, said that people across the globe should thank President Donald Trump for “saving the world.” Fleischmann pointed out that a new agreement with Iran has pushed the country’s leadership to allow hidden nuclear materials to be collected and removed.

He added, “They're going to have to,” referring to their compliance. He also stressed that the US stands ready to act if required. “We are prepared, ready, willing, and able to do this under President Trump's great leadership,” he said.

He said he has full faith in how Trump is handling Iran. “I trust Donald Trump. He will make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon,” he added.

Chuck Fleischmann says world must thank Trump

Fleischmann strongly praised Trump and his administration for their approach to the situation with Iran, saying their actions were key in guiding efforts toward stability and peace. Speaking on Newsmax’s 'Bianca Across the Nation' on Wednesday, April 8, Fleischmann said this.

He explained that Trump’s leadership has been central in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“It's all Donald Trump stopping and saving the world from the potential for Iran having a nuclear weapon. We can never let them have one with their rhetoric, with their hatred toward the United States and our beloved ally Israel,” Fleischmann said.

He also emphasized the importance of continued action to stop any nuclear threat. “We can never let them get there,” he added. “We go out all over the world, secure this type of material, and bring it back and safely store it to make sure that it never gets in the hands of bad actors,” he added.

Fleischmann said the Nuclear Security Administration handles this work, and he helps oversee it. “Once we locate it, we can secure it, bring it back, and make sure it never falls into the hands of nefarious people.”

“We do that,” he said. “We've done that for years.” He further argued that the progress seen in talks with Iran would not have been possible without Trump’s leadership. “Thank God for President Trump, for the Trump administration... the entire team.” 

Trump signals new Iran policy after ceasefire

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear 'Dust.'"



He also stressed that the situation is being closely monitored. "It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!)," he added. "Nothing has been touched from the date of attack."

Trump further indicated that discussions are ongoing regarding potential economic measures. "We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to," said Trump.
