Trump says he has not reached out to Iran for peace talks: ‘They know how to reach me’
President Donald Trump said Tuesday as he was landing in Washington, D.C., that he has not reached out to Iran for peace talks “in any way, shape, or form.”
“I have not reached out to Iran for ‘Peace Talks’ in any way, shape, or form,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS!”
“If they want to talk, they know how to reach me,” he continued. “They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!”
Trump arrived in Washington Tuesday morning after abruptly leaving the G7 summit in Canada to address the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it’s very simple,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One during his overnight flight back to Washington.
He accused Iranian leaders of being unwilling to reach an agreement over their nuclear program, and suggested he was now less interested in talking with them.
“They should have done the deal. I told them, do the deal,” Trump said. “So I don’t know. I’m not too much in the mood to negotiate.”
