video | US President Donald Trump said Washington would maintain the status quo with Iran and reject further military strikes at the request of regional allies, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, after a meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani at the White House on Monday.
"For now, we are maintaining the status quo at the behest of the countries that are their neighbors (Qatar, Saudi Arabia)," Trump said, adding that Iran "supposedly killed at least 75,000 protesters," and described the country as "a disgusting place. ".
When asked why US citizens should believe his latest claim that the war would end shortly after making similar claims over the past eight months, Trump replied that his commitment was to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. "No, I argued that they would not have nuclear weapons, and they would not have nuclear weapons," he said.
