President Trump’s desire to engage in negotiations is a turnabout from his first term, when he often derided former President Barack Obama for agreeing to a nuclear deal with Iran.

One of the most reckless actions Donald Trump took during his first term in office was pulling the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal, a hard-fought agreement between seven nations built around ensuring Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon.

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he’s willing to immediately start working on a new nuclear deal with Iran that allows the country to “peacefully grow and prosper,” seemingly softening his stance on the Islamic Republic.
