(FOX NEWS) — President Donald Trump says he has not heard from Iran that they are withdrawing from peace negotiations with the U.S.
Trump made the statement in an interview with NBC News on Monday, going on to say that ending talks may not be a problem.
“I think we’ve been talking too much if you want to know the truth. I think going silent would be very good, and that could be that could be for a long time,” Trump said, according to NBC.
“It doesn’t mean we’re going to go and start dropping bombs all over there,” he added. “We’ll just go silent. We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel.”
Trump went on to say he believes the U.S. can wait out the Iranian regime, saying they are “losing a fortune” due to economic sanctions and the blockade.
