Trump says prefers to solve Iran crisis through diplomacy

  • But warned that he would never allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapon
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he wanted to solve the confrontation with Iran through diplomatic means but warned that he would never allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.
“We are in negotiations with them, they want to make a deal but we haven’t heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon,’” Trump said in his State of the Union speech.
“My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy but one thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.”
