'US Speaking With Many Leaders, Not One, In Iran': Trump On Talks Claim
The US is speaking with a lot of leaders in Iran and not just one person, President Donald Trump told CNBC today. He said it was not him who initiated the talks, but the other side.
"I didn't call them. They called. They wanted to make a deal, and we are also willing to make a deal," he said.
Trump then said something else to reporters at a press briefing, that the US has been talking to a particular senior leader in Iran, not the new supreme leader. "... Nobody has heard from him, and we don't know if he is living. I don't want the leader of Iran to be killed; nobody wants that job right now."
