Trump says ‘I don’t care’ to strike deal with Iran, takes questions on rising oil prices
President Donald Trump on Thursday, during his first cabinet meeting since the start of the war in Iran, dismissed the need for talks to end the conflict, maintaining the operation has crippled Iran to the point that it’s Tehran that seeks a deal.
Despite the president touting on Thursday the U.S. is currently engaging in “substantial talks” with Iran, and his administration offered up a 15-point plan to resolve the conflict, he also said that there are still “other targets we want to hit before we leave” and that he doesn’t “care” about reaching a deal or not.
When asked whether he might push back his deadline for negotiations not to strike energy sites in Iran, Trump said that it would depend on how negotiations go.
