Trump claims new deal with Iran 'imminent,' negotiations set for Monday
President Donald Trump said on Air Force One Sunday that he called off a weekend attack against Iran at the request of Gulf allies, claiming again that a deal is “imminent.”
Trump added that negotiations between the parties are set to commence on Monday.
“I was asked to by Saudi Arabia, UAE and by Qatar and by Iran. We were all set to go just about at this time right now,” Trump said of calling off the strikes. "We're all set to go. But when the allies asked to call it off, you got to sort of say, well, let's see.”
“The deal is imminent, having to do with the Hormuz Strait, and also, the -- ultimately the denuclearization of Iran,” Trump added.
Still, Trump said that the U.S. was “ready to go” whenever it wants to resume strikes.
