U.S. President Donald Trump says that he’s “not satisfied” with Iran’s latest proposal in negotiations to end war between the countries. Trump told reporters Friday at the White House that Iran wants to make a deal but he says they are asking for things he can’t agree to. Trump did not elaborate on what he sees as the proposal’s shortcomings. The president said negotiations have continued by phone after he called off his envoys’ trip to Pakistan last week. He expressed frustration with Iran’s leadership, describing it as fractured. The shaky three-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran appears to be still holding.
