Trump says US has ‘some work’ to do with Iran, repeats call for country to end nuclear program
On Iran, Donald Trump praised Steve Witkoff’s diplomatic efforts with the Republic. “Iran is a hot spot right now,” Trump said, noting that both Witkoff and Jared Kushner – another envoy and the president’s son-in-law – have a good relationship with the representatives Iran. “Good talks are being had. It’s proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran. We have to make a meaningful deal, otherwise, bad things happen, but we have to make a meaningful deal,” Trump said.
He added:
We do have some work to do with Iran. They can’t have a nuclear weapons. Very simple. You can’t have peace in the Middle East if they have a nuclear weapon.
Trump continued to keep the cards of any possible military action close to his chest. “We may have to take it a step further, or we may not, maybe we’re going to make a deal,” he said. “You’re going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days.”
