According to Censor.NET, this was mentioned in his comments to The Atlantic.
According to the head of the White House, he agreed to dialogue with Tehran after a corresponding initiative from the Iranian side. Trump stressed that Iran should have taken this step earlier.
"They want to talk, and I agreed to talk, so I will talk to them. They should have done this earlier. They should have given what was very practical and easy to do earlier. They waited too long," Donald Trump said.
Statement on the resumption of negotiations
The American president stressed that the possibility of negotiations remains open. At the same time, he made it clear that the decision to strike was made for security reasons.
