United States President Donald Trump said he hoped there would not be further US military action in Iran on Wednesday, but said the United States would act if Tehran resumed its nuclear program.
"They can't do the nuclear," Trump told CNBC in an interview in Davos, Switzerland, noting major US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025 last year. "If they do it, it's going to happen again."
Trump additionally told CNBC that the US has ordered an additional 25 B-2 stealth bombers, the same type of aircraft that was used in June 2025 strikes that destroyed Iran's nuclear capacity. He added that he "hope[s] there's not going to be further [US military] action," in Iran amid the ongoing violent clashes between Iranian citizens and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The Islamic regime’s crackdown on the ongoing protests has racked up a body count in the thousands since demonstrations began late last month.
Trump claims to have struck a deal with Greenland
The president also addressed the recent international discourse regarding Greenland, saying that he had arrived at a "concept of a deal."
"I think it's going to be a very good deal for the United States, also for them," Trump told CNBC. "It's a little bit complex, but we'll explain it down the line."
This came shortly after Trump said that America is seeking talks to discuss the acquisition of Greenland, and ruled out the use of military force to take the country during his remarks at the Davos WEF.
“It’s the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and make it so that it’s good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us,” Trump said.
Notably, several European leaders expressed their concern that Trump's desire to acquire Greenland would lead to war between the US and the European Union.
“All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland," Trump said, noting that he believes that would mean full US ownership of the currently autonomous region of Denmark.
