Timeline: Trump's Iran Diplomacy

Sep 26, 2024

On the campaign trail, President Trump suggests he’d negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran, suggesting that the Biden administration did not know how to. “Sure, I would do that (a deal)…We have to make a deal, because the consequences are impossible. We have to make a deal. And, they would have had a deal…had the results of the election been correct, we would have had a deal within one week after the election. I was prepared to get it done within one week after the election. They (the Biden administration) could have done that too, but they had no idea how to go about it. They could have done it because I gave them a country that wanted to make a deal, they had to.”
