2:59Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump attacked news organizations while answering a question about how he would convince “a skeptical American public” that the United States’ deal with Iran to end the war “is a win.”
Iran and the U.S. have reportedly reached an agreement that they will be signing in the next several days.
Trump said “it’s very tough” because people and news outlets would be critical of him “no matter what,” including whether he went several more weeks without a deal or if Iran raised "the white flag of surrender.”
“No matter what I do, I'm going to get bad press. I know that,” Trump said.
He added the deal “allows the ships to go,” in reference to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The critical waterway has been effectively closed since the United States attacked Iran in February.
Trump spoke to reporters at a news conference during a meeting with leaders of the world's top industrial nations at the G7 summit in France.
