Trump continued his remarks as follows: "We are doing very well in Iran, 15 out of 10! All communication systems have collapsed. In fact, this war is a good thing for the whole world. They call me militaristic. I am the one who ended eight wars. What we are doing is a service not just for the Middle East, but for the whole world against the extremely dangerous killers in Iran."
"IF YOU ASK US, WE CAN USE MISSILES"
During his address to the Latin American leaders, Trump touched on security issues in the countries, saying, "As hard as it is to believe, I must say that some of you are in danger.
