Washington, June 5 (EFE).- US President Donald Trump has said Iran would eventually have «no other choice» but to negotiate with Washington despite its current reluctance, as the military reported shooting down four Iranian drones and striking radar installations near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump Defends Pace of Nuclear TalksIn an interview with NBC News, Trump said Iran had not yet accepted a proposed agreement because its leaders were «strong» and «proud,» but argued that circumstances would ultimately force Tehran to reach a deal.
“They’re strong, they’re proud, there are things they never thought they’d be doing that they’re going to have to do. They’ve got no choice, and it takes a little while,” the president told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker during a sit-down interview in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
Trump defended the pace of the negotiations and dismissed criticism from those seeking a rapid breakthrough. He compared the situation to the Vietnam War, arguing that resolving a conflict of such magnitude requires patience.
“I’m moving very fast. I’m into three months. You know, Vietnam lasted 19 years. I’m into my third month, and all they do is say, ‘Whoa, when are you going to win?’ If I were a Democrat, nobody would be talking that way, but it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve gotten so used to it.”
