“The sanctions are there, and I didn't want to give up the sanctions unless we had a real program, and they're not ready for that and I understand that fully, I really do,” he continued. “I mean, they spent a lot of time building it. But that doesn't mean the world has to be happy. But I wanted them to denuke.”
