During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” President Donald Trump stated that Iran wants to trade with the U.S. and he’s fine with that, because “I’m using trade to settle scores and to make peace.”
Trump said, [relevant remarks begin around 8:30] “Iran wants to trade with us, okay, if you can believe that, and I’m okay with it. I’m using trade to settle scores and to make peace. But I’ve told Iran, we make a deal, you’re going to be really — you’re going to be very happy.”
He continued, “But, more than anything, I’ve told Iran, very simply — because I heard somebody making my case last night on television, I didn’t like it, because they were saying there’s plenty of time. There’s not plenty of time.”

When does the bombing begin? Money can be made by shorting stocks.
So we just need to trade with them and they don’t want to kill us anymore. Kewl!
Well it’s not like the neocon way has worked might as well try something different
What’s happening could be the beginning of a peaceful transition in Iran.
This is Trump’s vision - using economic incentives to bring countries together and bring an end conflicts. That doesn’t mean it will always work, but as an important element of his foreign policy outlook, it’s something he probably feels the need to at least try before resorting to military options.
And if Iran rejects Trump’s overtures, at least he’ll be able to point to the fact that he tried to resolve things peacefully, when his leftist critics attack him for taking military action.
Trump is destroying the planet with peace and prosperity.
It is what we did with our enemies after WWII.
If this works out, then big Yay! Yes, warmongers will be disappointed, but they’ve still got Ukraine.
Best case is they wait 4 years before resuming the jihad.
Plenty of time for them to beef up hezbollah and hamas.
Good to see that Trump is done trying to deal with the mess in Ukraine - now is the time for Europeans to STEP UP.
No fan of Iran but threats and sanctions haven’t worked out so well for the last 45 years.
Jeremiah 49 disagrees.
Dear Mr. President, please do not trust anything which comes out of the mouth of Evil, namely, Iran.
Make Iran Persian Again.

The MIC and CIA are going to do everything they can to prevent this... And I mean everything...
“Agenda Item One:”
“Slaughtering infidels is postponed until January 20th 2029.”
That was over his first day in office as he promised.
And Ezekiel 38
God bless, BTW
