Quote from Trump: "They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn't they?
They're agreeing with us on the plan. We asked for 15 things, and for the most part, we're going to be asking for a couple of other things."
Details: Trump also said that Iran had provided the United States with oil which it would send tomorrow to prove its seriousness. Trump said when he talked last week about Iran giving the US a present, it was "10 massive boatloads of oil".
Quote from Trump: "And today they gave us another present. They gave us 20 boatloads of oil that starts being shipped tomorrow.
We're having very good meetings, both directly and indirectly, and I think we're getting a lot of very important points."
Background:
- Trump said he wants to seize oil in Iran following a scenario similar to Venezuela.
