US President Donald Trump has told reporters in the Oval Office that he wants a “meaningful” deal with Iran.

“I’ve been working with Iran for a number of months, and they should sign their deal,” he says. “It’s a good deal, it doesn’t give them the right to have a nuclear weapon, in fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon.

“And, it’s just ‘tap, tap, tap’, I don’t know what they’re doing,” he adds.

Trump also mentioned that he “gave them (Iran) a break” at the request of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, calling them “great”.

“They’re close to Iran, and they still are working on trying [to get] them to do what’s right,” he adds. “We want a deal that’s meaningful; we want a deal that works.”
