President Trump says diplomacy preferred but vows to block nuclear armament; cites military strength and $1 trillion budget

President Donald Trump said negotiations continue but that conditions have not been met, declaring, "We are in negotiations with them. They wanna make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words." The speaker insisted diplomacy is the preferred route: "My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy."

At the same time, the speaker delivered an absolute ultimatum about nuclear proliferation, stating, "We will never have a nuclear weapon" and adding that they "will never allow the world's number 1 sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon." The speaker did not identify which country or group was meant by "them."

The remarks combined diplomatic language with a force-based rationale. The speaker said, "No nation should ever doubt America's resolve. We have the most powerful military on Earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're gonna continue to do so." The speaker framed this posture as deterrence: "It's really called peace through strength that has been very, very effective."

The speaker also asserted a recent budget action, saying, "Also, we just approved 1000000000000 dollar budget. We have no choice." In context, the transcript records the figure as stated by the speaker; the article does not independently verify whether a $1 trillion appropriations action matching that description has been approved.

The transcript records no identification of the party referred to as "them" and contains no formal motion or vote. The speaker presented positions (preference for diplomacy, an explicit non-proliferation red line, and continued military investment) but did not specify next procedural steps or name the negotiating counterpart.
