It's going to be terrific. It's under construction right now by Boeing. Go ahead. Question?
Now Iran made a big mistake. This drone was in international waters, clearly. We have it all documented. It's documented scientifically, not just words. And they made a very bad mistake, OK?
Mr President, how will you respond?
You'll find out.
You'll find out. You'll find out. I mean, obviously - obviously, you know, we're not going to be talking too much about it. You're going to find out they made a very big mistake.
Mr President, what are your concerns about China and the Canadian?
And I think probably Iran made a mistake. I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. And fortunately, that drone was unarmed. It was not.. there was no man in it. And there was no... it was just... it was over international waters. Clearly, over international waters.
But we didn't have a man or woman in the drone. We had nobody in the drone. It would have made a big difference, let me tell you. It would have made a big, big difference.
But I have a feeling - I may be wrong and I may be right, but I'm right a lot - I have a feeling that it was a mistake made by somebody that shouldn't have been doing what they did.
Who do you think, do you think did it?
I think they made a mistake. And I'm not just talking the country... the country made a mistake, I think that somebody under the command of that country made a big...
Are you still...
You're talking about Iran's leadership.
Let's just see what happens. You just - let's see what happens. It's all going to work out.
Say it?
Are you saying you think it wasn't intentional to strike the drone?
I don't know. I find it hard to believe it was intentional, if you want to know the truth. I think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it. We'll be able to report back, and you'll understand exactly what happened. But it was a very foolish move, that I can tell you.
What did you...
Are there members of your administration who are trying to push you into conflict with Iran?
No, not at all. Not at all. In fact, in many cases, it's the opposite. But this is something... this is a new wrinkle. This is a new fly in the ointment, what happened, shooting down the drone. And this country will not stand for it. That I can tell you. Thank you very much.
We are... we are very concerned about the escalation by Iran recently. We have significant presence in the area, including leading in the Nato mission in Baghdad in Iraq. We look forward to discussing it with our closest ally their perspectives on this and how we can move forward as an international community.
