Donald Trump Cabinet Meeting: US President Says Iran Is 'Negotiating On Fumes' President Donald Trump mixed up U.S. military operations, saying Venezuela when he meant Iran. Early in his Cabinet meeting, the president was trying to downplay the war in Iran, saying, "I don't call it a war. I call it a conflict." “Despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a navy, no longer has an air force, no longer has a lot of people that were leading the country into very bad places,” Trump said, mixing up that South American country with Iran.
U.S. forces ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to face drug charges. before the U.S. and Israel began airstrikes on Iran. He later added of Iran and talks about the ongoing ceasefire, “They're negotiating on fumes,” but also renewed threats to renew major U.S. attacks, “Maybe we have to go back and finish it, maybe we don't." The president also suggested that Iranian leaders think the upcoming U.S. elections give them leverage over Trump because of his lagging approval ratings.
If so, they’re flat wrong, Trump said. “They thought they were gonna out-wait me. You know, ‘We’ll out-wait him. He’s got the midterms,” Trump said.
“I don’t care about the midterms.”
