President Donald Trump on Tuesday angrily pushed back on his own director of National Intelligence’s assessment of Iran’s nuclear program’s status, telling journalists aboard Air Force One that he did not care about her belief that Tehran was not actively working on constructing a usable nuclear weapon.
Speaking to reporters on the way back to Washington after making an early exit from the 2025 Group of Seven leaders’ summit in Alberta, the president was asked about Tulsi Gabbard’s March testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in which the DNI said the U.S. Intelligence Community had assessed that Iran was not then working to build a nuclear weapon despite continuing work on uranium enrichment.
