Trump says 60-day timeline for nuclear deal isn’t a “hard” deadline

President Trump told reporters he does not view the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding’s 60-day timeline to strike a longer-term nuclear deal as a “hard” deadline.

Speaking to reporters in France, he said reaching a deal “could take longer.”

“Just as long as they’re behaving, I really don’t care that much,” Mr. Trump said.

Earlier Wednesday, the president suggested the deadline was important, telling reporters: “If it doesn’t get done in 60 days, that’s all right. We go back to bombing.”
