United States President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier that it is possible to reach a deal with Iran and China, stressing that the former country is currently “frightened” and weakened. Trump answered that he had already spoken with China’s President Xi Jinping since he returned to the White House in January. “I love talking [to Xi], I’ve talked to him. I talk to his people too … His people come in all the time. We have a very good personal relationship,” stated Trump.
In regards to the future US policy towards Iran, Trump said Tehran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, adding that it can be prevented either with “bombs or a written piece of paper.” He concluded by stressing he preferred the latter option.
