President Donald Trump said the United States is lowering its profile regarding Iran and compared the negotiations to a chess game, ynet reports. The remarks are from the same Axios interview The Zioneer covered earlier this evening.
Ynet reported Sunday evening that President Donald Trump said the United States is lowering its profile regarding Iran and compared the diplomatic track to a chess game. The remarks appear to be from the same Axios interview that The Zioneer covered earlier this evening.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:05 and 20:11 Jerusalem, Trump told Axios that Iran is in a 'bad state' economically and the US siege is 'doing a very good job,' and that the US is lowering its profile. The chess metaphor and the 'lowering the profile' phrasing are now combined in the ynet report.
The statement is consistent with Trump's broader approach of maintaining pressure while signaling openness to talks.
