Washington, Feb 7 || US President Donald Trump said that Iran “looks like it wants to make a deal very badly,” as he pointed to what he described as progress in talks on Iran, Russia and Ukraine, while also touting economic gains and lower prices at home.
“We had very, very good talks today, having to do with Russia, Ukraine,” Trump said. “Something could be happening.”
He said discussions with Iran were also moving forward. “We likewise, had very good talks on Iran,” he said. “Iran looks like it wants to make a deal very badly.”
Trump said any agreement would differ from past efforts. “We have to see what that deal is,” he said. “It’ll be different than last time.”
He said the US military was reinforcing its presence in the region. “We have a big Armada. We have a big fleet heading in that direction,” Trump said. “It’ll be there pretty soon.”
Turning to the economy, Trump claimed historic market gains. “The stock market, as you know, broke the number that they thought was going to be impossible to break,” he said. “We broke 50,000 of the Dow.”
