Trump warns of 'very bad day' if Iran doesn't agree to a nuclear deal
Newsy
President Trump still prefers to make a deal to curtail Iran's nuclear program, but says if that doesn't happen it will be a "very bad day" for the country.
President Trump continues to walk a line between diplomatic and military solutions for Iran, reiterating on Monday evening that he preferred to strike a deal to curtail its nuclear program.
At the same time he warned if that doesn't happen, it will be a "very bad day" for the country.
"Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly, and purposefully so," the president wrote on social media. "I am the one that makes the decision, I would rather have a Deal than not but, if we don’t make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them."
