What was said

"Mark Rutte and Trump have a meeting and after the meeting Rutte and Trump are in the oval office and Rutte publicly says Iran was close to getting a nuclear weapon and praise Donald Trump for stopping it and saying that the world is safer. That should have been the lead headline all over the place because much of the country does not believe in this war and does not believe that Iran was in fact close to getting a nuclear weapon."

Larry Elder revealed that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte publicly confirmed in the Oval Office that Iran was close to obtaining a nuclear weapon and praised Trump for preventing it. Elder criticized major news outlets including Reuters, AP, LA Times, and New York Times for burying this story, arguing it would have changed public perception of the Iran conflict.
