President Trump rejected the idea of letting talks with Iran keep going if they run past tomorrow’s cease-fire expiration without a deal in place.
“Well, I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time,” Trump told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“They have to negotiate. And, you know, the one thing I’ll say is this: Iran can get themselves at a very good footing. If they make a deal, they can make themselves into a strong nation again, a wonderful nation again.

“They’re led by some very, very, unfortunately tough people. And I don’t mean tough in a good way. I think it’s very negative for the country.”
Later, Trump said that if the cease-fire ends Wednesday without an agreement, he is prepared to resume attacking Iran.
“I expect to be bombing because I think that’s a better attitude to go in with,” he said.
