President Trump left the door open for future negotiations with Iran as the conflict continues.

Trump said Wednesday the U.S. could return to talks “maybe at some point, but right now, I think the situation is so good.”

In a social media post Tuesday, Trump said there were no conversations going on with Iran while the U.S. continued its naval blockade. The message came after his negotiator and son in law Jared Kushner told Fox News Monday that conversations continued, but “they're not showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us.”

While there were “positive discussions” according to a source familiar, “President Trump has decided to wait and asked his team to not engage until Iran is ready to make a deal.”
