President Trump on Friday evening reasserted his openness to reaching a new Iran deal, days before the U.S. is set to reimpose a final set of sanctions on Tehran.
The sanctions are set to go into effect on Monday, marking the U.S.'s full departure from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Trump first announced his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Obama-era deal in May.
"The United States remains open to reaching a new, more comprehensive deal with Iran that forever blocks its path to a nuclear weapon, addresses the entire range of its malign actions, and is worthy of the Iranian people," Trump said in a statement released by the White House.
Trump said he left the "horrible, one-sided Iran nuclear deal" in order to pressure the Iranian government to end its "malign actions" in the Middle East, but continued to express support for its people.

(3,205 posts)...trump doesn't care what's in the New Iran Deal just as long as it has his name on it and he can take credit for it. Especially the Iran Deal because that would erase an Obama accomplishment.
