Aug. 2 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Sunday night that negotiations with Iran toward ending the war will resume Monday, about a month after formal talks between the two unraveled and preceded a return to open conflict.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Washington after spending a weekend at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club, Trump said talks with Iran will begin Monday afternoon, claiming, as he has repeatedly throughout the war, that Iran wants "to make a deal."
"We'll see if it's true," he said. "I'd love to do that. Save a lot of lives. Save a lot of unnecessary power, to be honest with you."
Trump had called off what he advertised as a massive attack on Iran over the weekend, stating it was at the request of allies and Tehran, which he said had agreed to "the parameters of a deal."
