Stick and carrot. The meeting that Donald Trump has maintained this Thursday with his cabinet, the first since the beginning of the guerra contra Iranhas served to verify that the president of USA is willing to maintain its military operation in Middle East while trying to impose his conditions for a ceasefire.
