President Donald Trump said he’s unsure about reaching a diplomatic agreement with Iran, another signal the two sides remain at loggerheads about efforts to end the nearly month-long war.

“I say they’re lousy fighters, but they’re great negotiators, and they are begging to work out a deal,” Trump said Thursday during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “I don’t know if we’ll be able to do that. I don’t know if we’re willing to do that.”
