US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he hopes Iran’s nuclear program is wiped out, and this, he said he hopes this is done before the involvement of the United States is needed.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, while on his way back to Washington from Canada, Trump also said he was looking for a complete “give-up" by Iran.
“I hope Iran’s nuclear program is wiped out long before US involvement would be needed," Trump told reporters.
“I am looking for a complete give-up by Iran," he added.
Later, in a social media post on Truth Social, Trump clarified that he had not reached out to Iran, contrary to some reports.
“I have not reached out to Iran for “Peace Talks" in any way, shape, or form," the US President wrote.
“This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS! If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!" he wrote.
