Trump Shuts Door On Iran Talks: ‘They’ve Had It’

President Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed the idea of resuming nuclear talks with Iran, saying bluntly, “I’m not…They’ve had it.”

While addressing reporters at the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump was asked if he was “interested in restarting negotiations.”

“I’m not,” Trump said succinctly. “The way I look at it: they fought; the war is done. I could get a statement that they’re not going to go nuclear, we’re probably going to ask for that. But, they’re not gonna be doing it, but they’re not gonna be doing it anyway. They’ve had it. They’ve had it. Now, maybe someday in the future we’ll want that. I’ve asked Marco (Rubio), I just asked him the question while we were walking on the stage, do you want to draw up a little agreement for them to sign? Because I think we can get them to sign it. I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“President Trump has shown a willingness to meet and talk with anybody in the world who’s interested in peace,” Secretary of State Rubio declared. “I don’t know of any president who has been as willing as he has to meet with anyone and talk about peace. We’d love to have peaceful relations with any country in the world. And so obviously that will depend on Iran’s willingness to not just engage in peace, but to negotiate directly with the United States, not through some third country or fourth country process, but I know of no president probably in our modern history that’s sought peace more than President Trump has.”

On Tuesday night, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff told Laura Ingraham on Fox News, “The president has said unequivocally that he wants to see — and he’s hopeful for — a comprehensive peace agreement that goes beyond even the ceasefire. … We’re already talking to each other, not just directly, but also through interlocutors, I think that the conversations are promising.”

“We’re hopeful that we can have a long-term peace agreement that resurrects Iran, that brings it into the League of Nations, that creates long-term prosperity for Iran and, most importantly, allows for the GCC to grow economically,” he added.
