“If they back out again, they are going to get hit really hard.
They understand that.
I have no choice,” Trump said.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News, he said that there was an “all-day negotiation” with Tehran on Tuesday (Aug 4), and that both countries were having “very good” discussions, adding that his first choice was pushing for a diplomatic agreement.
