"IF WE CANNOT REACH A SOLUTION, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO IRAN"

In response to a question about Iran's nuclear program, Trump said, "I sent them a letter recently and said, 'You will have to make a decision one way or another, or we will talk, or bad things will happen to Iran.' And I don't want that to happen." Stating that the issue is unrelated to being strong or weak, Trump said, "My biggest preference is that we reach a solution with Iran, but if we cannot reach a solution, bad things will happen to Iran."
