Trump said that Israel and Iran may need to "fight a war" first before reaching an agreement.

President Donald Trump of the United States stated that he believes it is possible for Israel and Iran to reach an agreement to end the conflict, even though they may need to continue fighting before negotiating a peace agreement. Trump told reporters at the White House on Sunday before departing to Canada to attend the G7 summit, "Sometimes they have to fight a little bit, but let's see what happens." He added, "I think it's very possible that an agreement could be reached." Trump also stated in a Sunday interview with ABC News that the United States "could" intervene in the conflict, although he noted that the U.S. "has not intervened at this time."
