Trump calls Iranians 'bad negotiators', but says 'they want to make a deal' ahead of talks in Geneva

Описание: (AP) The Trump administration is seeking a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program and ensure it does not develop nuclear weapons.

Iran's top diplomat met with the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency Monday, ahead of a second round of negotiations with the United States over Tehran's nuclear program.

Talking to reporters Monday night aboard Air Force One on his way to Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump said of the U.S.-Iran talks, “I’ll be involved in those talks -- indirectly -- and they’ll be very important, and we’ll see what can happen.”

“Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator,” he said, first describing Iran as “good negotiators” before correcting himself. “I would say they’re bad negotiators, because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s in to knock out their nuclear potential, and we had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable.”

Trump added: “I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal.”

On Sunday, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister signaled that Tehran could be open to compromise on the nuclear issue, but is looking for an easing of international sanctions led by the United States.

Oman hosted a first round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran on February 6.
