CNBC says Trump sees Iran talks as ‘regime change’

CNBC host Joe Kernen said US President Donald Trump described ongoing contacts with Iran as effectively amounting to “regime change,” according to remarks on air.

Kernen said Trump told him the talks were not with a single leader but with “representatives,” adding Iran presents itself as having a broader structure.

He said Trump “went on to say, or insist that this is regime change, because it’s totally different people that were involved.”
