Trump says ceasefire is “over” and dealing with Iran is a “waste of time”

President Trump said Wednesday that the interim agreement with Iran was “over” but he will allow talks to continue.

“For me, I think it’s over,” Trump responded when asked about the status of the ceasefire. Referring to the country’s leadership as “sick,” he added: “It’s just a waste of time dealing with them.”

“I’ll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don’t see it. I don’t like these people, you know that,” he said.

He made the comment on the sidelines of the two-day NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, and hours after striking Iran in what the U.S. described as retaliation for attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
