Trump says U.S. is “either going to make a deal, or we’re going to finish the job”

President Trump says the U.S. will either make a deal with Iran, or “we’re going to finish the job.”

“Look, we’re going to win one way or the other,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday.

“We’re either going to make a deal, or we’re going to finish the job. It won’t be tough to finish the job,” he said.

“I’d rather make a deal because I don’t want to affect 91 million people,” the president added.

“We can knock out their electricity and power-generating plants in … the small part of an afternoon,” he said. “And they know that.”

Mr. Trump was speaking as the U.S.-Iran talks are paused for the multi-day funeral of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is due to be buried in Mashhad on Thursday.
