President Trump pushed back on reports he is “desperate” to make a peace deal with Iran.
“I’m the opposite of desperate. I don’t care,” he said in his Cabinet meeting.
Trump was referring to a Wall Street Journal article that reported he wants a speedy end to the conflict. He blasted the report as “fake news.”
He said if he was desperate, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth would be the first to know because he would order US military out of the region.
“I read a story today that I’m desperate to make a deal. I’m not. If I was desperate, he’d be the first to know. Pete, let’s get the hell out of there,” Trump said. “I’m the opposite of desperate. I don’t care. In fact, we have other targets we want to hit before we leave.”
