"If Iran gives a draft proposal, the U.S. is ready to meet in Geneva on Friday in order to start detailed negotiations to see if we can get a nuclear deal," a senior U.S. official said. The official confirmed the Trump administration and Iran may also discuss the possibility of an interim agreement before a full nuclear deal is agreed.
What he's saying: In the interview, Trump mentioned his decision to dispatch the Lincoln. "We have a big armada next to Iran. Bigger than Venezuela," Trump said. He declined to discuss the options presented to him by his national security team, or which one he prefers. At the same time, he said diplomacy remained an option. "They want to make a deal. I know so. They called on numerous occasions. They want to talk."
