Iran “can’t have a nuclear weapon,” US President Donald Trump says ahead of high-stakes weekend talks over the state’s nuclear program.
“I want Iran to be a wonderful, great, happy country. But they can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One, hours before his envoy Steve Witkoff is to meet Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oman.
