| [IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump again says Iran’s nuclear program will be addressed in a manner that is either “violent or not violent.” “I prefer non-violent,” he tells Fox News. “I don’t want it to be a violent thing, but they are not going to have a nuclear weapon.” He also notes Iran “has a lot of oil,” questioning why “when you have unlimited amounts of oil and gas, why do you need civil nuclear? I just don’t see it.” “I think nuclear is fine for civil, if you have a country with no oil.”
“Iran wants to trade with us, OK? If you can believe that I’m OK with that. I’m using trade to settle scores and to make peace,” Trump says in the interview conducted before he left Abu Dhabi after a four-day Middle East trip. “But I’ve told Iran, we make a deal. You’re going to be really — you’re going to be very happy,” says Trump, who has been pushing Iran on a nuclear deal. [X]
