"I'm not happy with the fact that they're not willing to give us what we have to have. I'm not thrilled with that. We'll see what happens. We're talking later. We're not exactly happy with the way they're negotiating. They cannot have nuclear weapons."
"If I was President Trump, my only advice is just to give those negotiators enough room, enough space to really close these remaining areas that we need to discuss and agree upon."
"Iranian negotiators don't want to quite go far enough. It's too bad. He reiterated that he did not want to see Iran allowed to enrich any amount of uranium and said the oil-rich nation should not need to enrich uranium for an energy program."
President Trump stated he is unhappy with ongoing indirect negotiations between U.S. envoys and Iran regarding the country's nuclear program, following inconclusive talks in Geneva. Trump demands Iran agree to far-reaching nuclear restrictions and prohibits uranium enrichment, while Iran maintains its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Despite Trump's negative assessment, Oman's Foreign Minister, who mediates the talks, urged Trump to provide negotiators additional time and space to reach agreement. Trump indicated willingness to continue discussions but remained pessimistic about Iran's negotiating position. American military forces are positioned in the region as Trump threatened military action if Iran refuses to comply with U.S. demands.
