In a new clip published by Fox News on Friday, President Donald Trump said Iran is interested in merchant with the United States. By emphasizing that it is open to that, he also pointed out that he is using trade “to solve the scores.”
The United States has imposed several sanctions on Iran, and trade is still significantly restricted.
“Iran wants to trade with us. Okay, if you can believe that,” Trump told Bret Baier from Fox News. “And I agree with that. I am using the exchange to solve the scores and make the peace. But I told Iran to make a deal. You will be really happy.”
Trump continued to transmit a sense of urgency in nuclear negotiations, stating that there is not much time before they will potentially obtain a nuclear weapon.

“Well, they will not have a nuclear weapon, and they will finally have a nuclear weapon. And then the discussion becomes a very different,” Trump said.
