US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that talks with Tehran were “on the borderline” between a deal to end the Middle East war and a resumption of strikes on Iran.
Trump has given conflicting signals since announcing on Monday that he had called off renewed attacks to give time for negotiations, veering between optimism about an agreement and threats of more action.
“It’s right on the borderline, believe me,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington when asked where the talks with Iran stood.
“If we don’t get the right answers, it goes very quickly. We’re all ready to go. We have to get the right answers — it would have to be a complete 100 percent good answers.”
