President Donald Trump said Friday evening that he is 'progressing well' but expressed frustration with those who 'always want to talk but don't keep their word,' adding that 'they annoy me.' The statement, circulated on social media, did not specify who 'they' refers to.
President Donald Trump issued a brief statement Friday evening describing his efforts as progressing well while expressing clear frustration with unnamed counterparts. 'We just want to win. We are progressing well,' Trump said. 'They always want to talk but usually don't keep their word. They annoy me.' The statement continues a pattern of Trump's public remarks on diplomatic negotiations, which have frequently oscillated between optimism and impatience. As The Zioneer has reported in previous coverage, Trump has repeatedly warned of a return to fighting if talks fail to produce a deal. However, in this latest statement, the president did not specify the subject of the negotiations or the identity of the counterpart he criticized.
