He was also asked about reports that under a proposed deal, Tehran would “export” its highly enriched uranium, possibly to the United States.
“No, probably not. It goes to the United States of America,” Trump said, without specifying how this key point of contention would be resolved.
Iran has consistently refused to give up its enriched uranium, which it says is not meant to make a nuclear bomb.
Trump’s social media post came after US news outlet Axios reported that Washington and Tehran were close to agreeing on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and create a framework for more detailed nuclear talks.
However, a short time later the President told the New York Post that it was “too far” and “too far” to think about face-to-face talks with Iran in Pakistan brokering a peace deal between the two sides.
Trump’s stance on how to end the war has been difficult to understand.
The 79-year-old Republican has repeatedly claimed he has “all the time in the world” for a high-risk conflict, but he recently signaled to Congress that the war that began on February 28 is already over.
Trump and his administration are trying to negotiate a way out of the conflict, which is deeply unpopular with the American public and has driven up the price of gasoline, among other costs.
