severe damage but it s not total damage Grossi also reported the U N nuclear watchdog has faced pressure to description that Iran had a nuclear weapon or was close to one but we purely didn t because

their source was he mentioned You have to do that and I suspect we ll be doing things like that His press secretary revealed Thursday that the administration is studying the matter A temporary pass for immigration raids on farms and hotels As he played up his immigration crackdown Trump offered a more nuanced view when it comes to farm and hotel workers I m the strongest immigration guy that there s ever been but I m also the strongest farmer guy that there s ever been the Republican president commented He noted that he wants to deport criminals but it s a complication when farmers lose their laborers and it destroys their businesses Trump mentioned his administration is working on specific kind of a temporary pass that could give farmers and hotel owners control over immigration raids at their facilities Earlier this month Trump had called for a pause on immigration raids disrupting the farming hotel and restaurant industries but a top Homeland Measure official followed up

would be open to removing sanctions on Iranian oil shipments to China if Iran can show they can be peaceful and if they can show us they re not going to do any more harm But the president also indicated the U S isn t afraid to retaliate against Beijing When Fox News Channel host Maria Bartiromo noted that China has tried to hack U S systems and steal intellectual property Trump replied You don t think we do that to them
