President also endorses hardline ally Paxton over veteran senator for Senate race in Texas amid latest test of Trump’s grip on GOP
Trump told reporters he is giving Iran until the weekend or early next week, to make a deal to end the war.
He said that yesterday he was within an hour of deciding to resume bombing Iran but that his negotiators had reported progress in talks.
I never tell anybody when. But they knew that we were very close. I would say we were. I was an hour away from making the decision to go today, and we would probably not be talking about a beautiful ballroom today. We’d be talking about that.
I had made the decision, so they called up. They had heard I made the decision. They said, sir, could you give us a couple of more days because we think they’re being reasonable.
Well, I mean, I’m saying 2 or 3 days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday something. Maybe early next week, a limited period of time, because we can’t let them have a new nuclear weapon.
