Countries including the US, UK and China evacuated embassy staff in the Middle East and issued travel advisories amid concerns about a regional conflict, as President Donald Trump on Friday sounded downbeat about diplomatic talks meant to avert airstrikes on Iran.
“I’m not happy with the negotiation,” Trump told reporters in Texas on Friday. “We’re negotiating right now, but they’re not getting to the right answer.”
