United States President Donald Trump on Sunday said it is possible that the US could become involved in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
The Republican president, according to ABC News, also said talks over Iran’s nuclear programme were continuing and that Tehran would “like to make a deal,” perhaps more quickly now that the Islamic republic is trading massive strikes with Israel.
“It’s possible we could get involved” in the ongoing battle between the Middle East arch-foes, Trump said in an off-camera interview with ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott that was not previously publicised.
Trump also revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to mediate the conflict.
