Trump says Iran ‘means business,’ gives talks five-day window

US President Donald Trump struck an upbeat tone on Monday about ongoing talks with Tehran, saying, “This time Iran means business.”

Speaking during a roundtable in Memphis, Tennessee, Trump said discussions were underway to determine whether a broader agreement can be reached, adding that Iran “wants to settle.”

He said the United States had already eliminated “everything there is to eliminate,” including Iranian leaders, and warned that Iran has “one more opportunity to end threats to America.”

“I think there is a very good chance we’re going to end up with a deal,” Trump said. “It could be a very good deal for everybody.”

Trump added that he will give negotiations with Iran five days to show progress.
