Trump says Iran “seriously talking” with US

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Iran is “seriously talking” with Washington, and that he hopes Tehran agrees to give up its nuclear weapons.

Asked by reporters aboard Air Force One about his latest thinking on Iran, Trump initially declined to respond before noting that he has deployed significant military assets to the region.

“I hope they negotiate something that’s acceptable,” he said.

“You could make a negotiated deal that would be satisfactory with no nuclear weapons… They should do that, but I don’t know that they will. They are talking to us — seriously talking,” he said.
