President Donald Trump made a brief, off-the-cuff comment about sex during an investment summit in Florida on Friday.
Trump made the remark after delivering his keynote address at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Priority Summit, a Saudi-backed gathering of global business leaders, investors, and policymakers.
At the start of the Q&A segment, he said, "Unlike other politicians, I don't have the questions screened ahead of time. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex. You can do whatever the hell you want. I'm here for you. Whatever question you want, you can ask."
The comment drew attention as a lighter moment following his speech on global investment, economic growth, and the Iran conflict.
"Tonight, we're closer than ever to the rise of the Middle East, finally free at last from Iranian terror, aggression, and nuclear blackmail — that's what's happened. It was nuclear blackmail for years and years, and beyond that, it was blackmail — period," Trump said during the address.
"Under my leadership, America is ending the threat posed by this radical regime, decimating Iran's capabilities with Operation Epic Fury. Nobody's ever seen anything quite like it. We have the most powerful military in the world. For 47 years, Iran has been known as the bully of the Middle East. But they are no longer the bully. They are on the run," he added.
Soon after Trump's address, news emerged that at least 10 U.S. service members were injured during an Iranian missile attack at a military base in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
