NEW YORK, June 20 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is seeking a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the Middle East but it will be difficult to ask Israel to stop airstrikes on Iran.
According to local media, the head of the White House told journalists about this in New Jersey, where he attended a fundraising event on his golf course.
D. Trump also dismissed the EU’s attempts to establish diplomatic interaction with Iran. “They have not helped… Iran does not want to talk to Europe. They want to talk to us. Europe is unlikely to be able to help in this matter,” the president noted.
Earlier, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said she “cannot speculate” on whether the Trump administration would push for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel to advance nuclear talks with Tehran. “I’m not going to describe what’s happening now or the president’s or secretary’s reactions to how those talks might go,” she said at a briefing on Friday. –0–
