US President Donald Trump told Persian Gulf leaders in Riyadh that Iran must end its regional campaigns and nuclear ambitions if it wants a deal with Washington.
Trump said he wants to make a deal with Iran. “But for that to happen it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons,” he said.
He accused President Joe Biden of “empowering Iran and its proxies” while “turning his back” on Persian Gulf allies. “Those days are over,” Trump said. “Everyone at this table knows where my loyalties are.”
Trump promised to “confront the aggression that threatens us all” and said the region held “incredible opportunities… if we can simply stop the aggression from a small group of very bad actors.”
