Trump says “going silent would be very good”

President Trump said Monday that he has not heard from Iran on reports that they’re suspending talks with the U.S., but that “going silent would be very good.”

“I think we’ve been talking too much if you want to know the truth,” he told NBC News chief White House correspondent Garrett Haake.

“It doesn’t mean we’re going to go and start dropping bombs all over there,” the president said, according to Haake. “We’ll just go silent. We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel.”

When Mr. Trump was asked if he can wait the Iranians out, he said, “I think I can wait as long as they want. They’re losing a fortune…”
