Trump Defends Letting Iran Maintain Missile Arsenal
(The Hill) Filip Timotija - President Trump on Wednesday defended letting Iran maintain its large arsenal of ballistic missiles when discussing the emerging deal with Iran. He noted that when the U.S. will be working with Persian Gulf allies in addressing issues not related to Iran's nuclear program, including the conventional missile program, Tehran will still have some ballistic missiles left. "I mean, they have to have some, because other people have some. You got to have some," Trump said. Trump said advisers told him, "You shouldn't let them have any missiles." "I said, 'well, what am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can't have them?'"
