0:55Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump minimized the prospect of immediate talks with Iran as the two sides exchanged strikes and Houthi militants in Yemen threatened shipping in the Red Sea. #iran #trump #politics #usa #worldnews #news
Trump vowed to respond if the Iran-backed group disrupted the Red Sea waterway, but didn’t specify how, and said “They want to desperately meet and until they’re ready to meet in a meaningful way we have no interest.”
