US President Donald Trump reiterates that Washington is “fairly close” to reaching a nuclear deal with Iran.

“I think we have a chance of making a deal with Iran,” Trump tells reporters in the Oval Office.

“They don’t want to be blown up. They would rather make a deal, and I think that could happen in the not-too-distant future,” he continues, adding that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
