THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you very much.  We’ve had great economic numbers that came out.  You saw that over the weekend; you saw it on Friday.  We have just spectacular economic numbers.  We’re doing better than any nation on the planet.  And we’re very honored by that.

In addition to which, we’re paying interest rates, which the previous administration essentially didn’t pay.  So we’ve had tremendous numbers coming out and that’s a big thing.  Our economy is doing incredibly.

I want to congratulate the women’s soccer team on winning the World Cup.  That’s an incredible achievement.  It was a very exciting game.

I got to see a little bit of it.  And they’re great players, and it’s a great honor to have them capture it for the United States — fourth time — and that’s a tremendous thing.  So congratulations to the team on the World Cup.

Q    Iran says it’s going to start enriching and breaking the Iran deal.  What do you say to that?

THE PRESIDENT:  Iran better be careful because you enrich for one reason — and I won’t tell you what that reason is, but it’s no good.  They better be careful.

Q    Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the British ambassador’s comments that were reported about today?

THE PRESIDENT:  No, I haven’t seen it.  But, you know, we’ve had our little ins and outs with — with a couple of countries.

And I would say that the UK and the ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that.  We’re not — we’re not big fans of that man, and he has not served the UK well.  So I can understand it.  And I can say things about him, but I won’t bother.

. . .

Q    Do you believe female athletes should be paid as much as their male counterparts?

THE PRESIDENT:  I would like to see that.  And you also have to look at numbers because, when you look at World Cup soccer, that’s one thing, and you also have to look at soccer professionals out there.  You have to see who’s taking in what.

So I don’t know what those numbers are.  I would like to see that.  But, again, you have to look at the great stars of the men’s soccer and the great stars of the women’s soccer,

and you have to see, year round, how are they all drawing — what’s the attendance for women’s soccer outside of World Cup.  But I would like to see it, yes.

Q    Mr. President, do have any comment on Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged?

THE PRESIDENT:  No, I don’t know about it.  That I don’t know about.

Q    Will you invite the women’s team to the White House?

THE PRESIDENT:  What?

Q    Will you invite the women’s team to the White House — the soccer team?

THE PRESIDENT:  We haven’t really thought about it.  We will look at that, certainly.

Yeah, Jeff.

Q    When you said earlier that Iran should “be careful,” what are you thinking about, in terms of a response?

THE PRESIDENT:  Iran is doing a lot of bad things.  And remember this: The Obama agreement, which was the most foolish agreement that you’ll ever find —

it expires in a very short period of time.  So whether you have this conversation now or in a number of years from now — a few number of years —

it’s a very important conversation, except, the way they want it, they would have automatic right to have nuclear weapons.  Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

Thank you very much.

. . .

Q    Do you have any problem with the Fed then, with regard to what they should do?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, if the Fed knew what it was doing, they would lower rates and they would stop quantitative tightening.

If you look at Europe, what they’re doing is they’re pumping money in and they’re having rates lowered so they can compete with us.  Just remember, the European Union was set up in order to compete with the United States.

Okay?  And when they have a man — Draghi — if you look at what he’s done, I mean, he’s made them somewhat competitive.  Now, despite everything, they’re not doing well and we’re doing great.  Europe is not doing well at all.  They’re doing great.

But we’re put in an unfair playing field when they cut interest rates and when they pump in a lot of money.  And we’re doing just the opposite; we’re taking money out and interest rates have gone up.

If the Fed didn’t do what it did or if it did even half, we would have a Dow that would be — as good as it is; we’re doing so good — but we would have a Dow that would be anywhere from 5- to 10,000 points higher.
