US President Donald Trump says he expects fighting to resume if there’s no deal as a second round of talks remains uncertain.
Trump insisted Monday that Iran is “going to negotiate” ahead of anticipated talks in Pakistan.
Speaking in a short phone interview on “The John Fredericks Show,” a conservative radio program, Trump projected confidence that Tehran would come to the table, while warning of consequences if it does not.
“Well, they’re going to negotiate, and if they don’t, they’re going to see problems like they’ve never seen before,” the President said.
“Hopefully they’ll make a fair deal, and they’ll build their country back up,” Trump continued, adding that when they do so, “they will not have a nuclear weapon.”
Before ending the call, Trump returned to his justification for military action.
“And I have to say we had no choice in Iran,” he said. “It wasn’t like we had a choice. We had to do it.”
“We’ve done a great job, and we’ll get it closed out, and everybody’s going to be happy,” he added before hanging up.
