Trump says Iran ‘going to negotiate’ ahead of talks US President Donald Trump said Iran is “going to negotiate” ahead of anticipated talks in Pakistan, while warning of consequences if it does not. Speaking in a phone interview reported by CNN, Trump said, “Well, they’re going to negotiate, and if they don’t, they’re going to see problems like they’ve never seen before.” “Hopefully they’ll make a fair deal, and they’ll build their country back up,” he said, adding that Iran “will not have a nuclear weapon.” Trump also defended US military action, saying, “We had no choice in Iran we had to do it,” and added, “We’ve done a great job, and we’ll get it closed out, and everybody’s going to be happy.”
