Trump says it makes ‘no difference’ to him if Iran and US reach deal

Donald Trump said it made “no difference” to him whether a deal is reached with Iran, as peace talks continue in Pakistan.

“Regardless of what happens, we win,” he told reporters outside the White House on Saturday, April 11.

Questioned about potentially unfreezing Iranian assets, Trump said the US had “defeated them militarily,” describing Iran’s capabilities as minimal.

“Maybe they make a deal, maybe they don’t, it doesn’t matter. From the standpoint of America, we win.” he added.

The president confirmed “very deep negotiations” are underway, with vice president JD Vance leading hours of discussions in Islamabad.

Trump closed his comments with a warning to China of “big problems” if it sends arms to Iran.
