TRANSCRIPT: President Trump Addresses a Governors' Meeting at the White House, 2.20.26

[Video]

President Trump: Well, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. And I guess we're going to be asking the press to leave. That way, we're going to talk very candidly and take questions, I think, at the end. It wasn't supposed to be. I just said to Susie, what about questions, sir, you can do whatever you want. I don't know if she says that to other people that she's represented over the years, but thank you very much for being here. It's a great honor. And the media, thank you. You can leave now.

Question: Mr. President, are you considering a limited military strike to pressure Iran into a deal?

Aide: Thank you press.

Note: [Crosstalk]

Trump: I guess I can say I am considering that.
