Trump says open to talks with Iran on new nuclear deal

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said overnight that he is open to talks with Iran on a new version of the landmark nuclear agreement he scrapped as president.

Trump, speaking to reporters in New York City, didn’t go into detail about what he, if reelected, would seek in any agreement but said that talks are necessary because of the threat posed by Iran’s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“Sure, I would do that,” the former president said when asked if he would make a deal with Iran. “We have to make a deal, because the consequences are impossible. We have to make a deal.”
