President Donald Trump spoke to reporters ahead of a trip to Memphis, Tennessee on Monday morning after spending the weekend in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump took questions, including a few from CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, who asked how his lifting sanctions on Iranian oil is any different than former President Barack Obama allowing Iran to have access to their money that was being held up from sanctions. After Iran signed the nuclear agreement that allowed for nuclear inspectors to come in and test whether they were doing weaponry or nuclear power, Obama relaxed sanctions. Trump has falsely painted it as Obama giving Iran billions in cash.

"The Treasury lifted sanctions on Iranian oil that was out to sea. You criticized President Obama for giving Iran $1.7 b—" Collins began.

"Well I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible," Trump interrupted. "We don't even know that Iran gets that money. Frankly, I think it's very hard for them to get it. But you have ships that are out there that are loaded up with oil. Rather than keep it there, I would rather see it go to the system. Any small amount of money Iran gets is not gonna make a difference in this war. But I want to have the system lubricated."

"Even $14 billion, you don't think helps them?" Collins asked.

"Where's the $14 billion?" Trump said.

"Because the inflated price, they are getting the —" Collins began again before Trump interrupted her.

"I don't think they're getting the money," said Trump. "I can tell you, when this is all over, I will tell you who is getting the money."

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
