"A few days ago is a long time ago ... No, they want to make a deal badly"
US President Donald Trump responded to a reporter’s question at the White House on May 6, after the reporter pointed out that Iran fired on US ships a few days prior and "refused to submit". Trump pushed back, saying, “You don’t know what’s going on.” He acknowledged the incident but dismissed it, saying “a few days ago is a long time ago in the world of war,” while reiterating that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons in any potential agreement.
