Trump Says He Could Ease Sanctions if Iran Wants to Talk

VOA News

   U.S. President Donald Trump again dangled the possibility of easing
   U.S. sanctions on Iran if it can bring President Hassan Rouhani to the
   bargaining table.

   "We will see what happens," Trump told reporters at the White House
   Wednesday. He said Iran wants a deal because "they have tremendous
   financial difficulty and the sanctions are getting tougher and
   tougher."

   Trump added that the U.S. is not looking for regime change in Iran and
   said the country has "tremendous potential."

   Trump spoke two days after firing National Security Advisor John
   Bolton, who opposed any talks between the U.S. and Iran.
