U.S. President Donald Trump shared remarks in memory of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and commented on the ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Describing how their relationship developed over the years, Trump said: "He was a great man. In fact, he was a great politician. We were a little tough on each other at first, but then we gradually grew closer. It truly became a wonderful friendship, and that's very rare. In a way, he became a member of our family."

Referring to Iran's nuclear capabilities and the ongoing talks, Trump said: "They will never have nuclear weapons. They understand that. We had very good discussions."

Trump concluded by saying that the late Senator Graham's position on Iran had changed in recent weeks: "As for Lindsey, he had taken a very hawkish stance on Iran, but over the past few weeks he began to think that, in this situation, reaching an agreement is better than destroying the rest of the country."
