US President Donald Trump stresses he is “not happy with the negotiation” with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program and that he does not want any enrichment for Iran.
“I am not happy with the negotiation,” Trump tells reporters in Texas, adding that the Iranians “don’t want to quite go far enough. It’s too bad.”
“I say no enrichment,” Trump continues. “Not 20 percent, 30 percent, they always want 20 percent, 30 percent, they want it for civilian, you know, for civil. I think it’s uncivil.”
When asked by a reporter how close he is to making a decision on whether to launch a military strike, he says, “I’d rather not tell you.”
