US President Donald Trump said that the US and Iran are close to a “very good deal”, adding that there could be two ways – either the two sides reach a deal, or it could end “militarily.”
United States President Donald Trump said that any deal between Washington and Tehran will bar the latter from acquiring nuclear weapons. Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon.”
“It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and aso many other Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!” Trump wrote.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that the US and Iran are close to a “very good deal”. Trump said that there could be two ways – either the two sides reach a deal, or it could end “militarily.”
“We’re close to a very good deal. If you’re going to be in a hurry, you’re not going to make a good deal, and slowly but surely, we’re getting what we want — and if we don’t get what we want, we’re going to end it a different way,” Trump said during an interview to his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, which was telecast on Fox News.
He said that Iranians are “good negotiators,” adding that the US has “significant leverage” over Iran.
The US President held a meeting with his top cabinet colleagues and officers of the armed forces in the situation room on Friday, but it concluded without any clarity on future actions.
Trump has reportedly asked for several amendments to the deal his envoys reached with their Iranian counterparts during the recent negotiations.
Trump wants the deal and expects to finalise it soon, but is keen to strengthen several points that are important to him – particularly around Iran’s nuclear material, Axios reported quoting two US officials on Sunday.
“It’s more specifics about how the US gets the material and the timing,” a senior administration official told the news portal, referring to the enriched uranium.
