Trump insists Iran 'negotiating on fumes' as he looks for deal to settle conflict and reopen

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gathered with his Cabinet on Wednesday at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war with Iran and asserted that the Iranian side is “negotiating on fumes.”

Trump confidence that a deal is near comes just days after he insisted that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement but with the negotiations still in a state of flux.

The president is looking for a settlement that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide him a credible argument that Iran’s nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that's been politically unpopular for Republicans.

But as things stand, Trump also risks finding closure to his war of choice comes with an unsatisfactory ending.
