US President Donald Trump said on Monday there was a ‘very good chance’ the United States would reach a deal with Iran to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, hours after saying he had postponed a planned military strike to allow talks to continue.
Trump said the leaders of America’s key Middle East allies had asked him to postpone a planned military strike against Iran scheduled for Tuesday to allow negotiations with the Iranian government to continue, while warning that the United States remained prepared to launch a full-scale attack if no agreement was reached.
‘There seems to be a very good chance that they will be able to reach an agreement. If we can do this without bombing them, I’d be very happy,” Trump told reporters gathered for Monday’s drug price announcement.
