US President Donald Trump has reiterated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and that they “offered a lot, but not enough”.

“They gave us a paper that should have been better, and interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it, within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better,” he tells reporters, without going into detail about what Tehran offered.

“They will not have a nuclear weapon. It’s very simple: look, that whole deal is not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he adds.

Asked if he will continue the ceasefire, Trump responds, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
