Trump says deal with Iran 'isn't really something that I want to do'

US President Donald Trump said that his special envoy Steve Witkoff is "doing very well" in discussions with Iran, but added that a deal with Tehran is not his preferred outcome.

"He's working on the Iran deal and doing very well. I think the deal isn't really something that I want to do, but they're willing to offer us anything to stop," Trump said during a campaign rally in Texas.

"They will never have a nuclear weapon," he added.

The US president also expressed that he expects the war on Iran to end soon, saying: "That war ends - it's going to be very soon. It's got to be very soon," he said, describing Iran as "a failed nation."
