Trump says Iran should negotiate — now.
President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran would “like to talk” about dialing down the Israel-Iran conflict, Fox News reports.
Trump, speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, made the comment in response to a reporter asking if he has seen or heard “any signals or seen any messages from intermediaries that Iran wishes to de-escalate the conflict.”
“They’d like to talk, but they should have done that before,” Trump said. “But I’d say Iran is not winning this war. And they should talk and they should talk immediately before it’s too late.”
“We’ve always supported Israel. We have, for a long period of time, strongly. And Israel is doing very well right now,” Trump also said.
When asked what it would take for the U.S. to get involved in the conflict militarily, Trump said “I don’t want to talk about that.”
