President Donald Trump says that although Iran is signaling a willingness to make a deal amid escalating tensions, he refuses to negotiate, asserting that the United States has already achieved its objectives.
Trump Rejects Iran’s Deal Offer
On Saturday, in a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “The United States has blown Iran off of the map, and yet their lightweight analyst, David Sanger, says that I haven’t met my own goals. Yes I have, and weeks ahead of schedule!”
Trump called out to the media in the post, saying that “New York Times Always Gets It Wrong,” and the analyst, David Sanger referred to in his post is part of the media group.
He added that Iran’s leadership is gone, “their navy and air force are dead, they have absolutely no defense.”
Trump emphasized that, despite Iran’s willingness to negotiate, he would not engage in talks.
“They want to make a deal. I don’t!” he wrote.
