Trump: US to meet with Iran next week, but nuclear deal not necessary

President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the US will meet with Iran next week regarding a possible nuclear deal, although he repeatedly said he does not believe such a deal "is that necessary."

"We're going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We might sign a deal, I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary. I mean, they had a war, they fought, now they're going back to their world. I don't care if I have a deal or not ," Trump said during a press conference at the end of the NATO summit in The Hague.

Trump added that his administration would seek the same kind of commitments it sought in negotiations with Iran before the recent high tensions in the Middle East.

" The only thing that would be required is what we asked for before ," Trump said, adding again that he does not believe such a deal is necessary because of his insistence that the US successfully destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities, despite early intelligence assessments suggesting otherwise.

" We don't want nuclear weapons, but we destroyed the nuclear weapon. In other words, it's destroyed. I said 'Iran will not have nuclear weapons.' Well, we blew it up. It's blown up to the end of the kingdom, so I don't have much conviction about that. If we could get a document, that wouldn't be bad. We'll meet with them ," the president said.

Trump told reporters that he had asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also serves as his national security adviser, as they were taking the stage if he wanted to draft a deal. Trump said he believed the U.S. could convince the Iranians to sign such a document.

Rubio told reporters that such a deal depends on Iran's willingness to negotiate directly with the US, not through intermediaries.
