US President Donald Trump tells ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl he was not thinking about extending the ceasefire with Iran, because it most likely won’t be necessary.
“I think you’re going to be watching an amazing two days ahead,” Trump says amid renewed talks with Iran for a deal. “I really do.”
“It could end either way, but I think a deal is preferable because then they can rebuild,” Trump tells the reporter. “They really do have a different regime now. No matter what, we took out the radicals. They’re gone, no longer with us.”
Trump then asserts that “If I weren’t president, the world would be torn to pieces.”
