At the White House on June 19, President Trump said the U.S. may resume talks with Iran 'sometime' but only if Tehran completely abandons nuclear weapons. Asked whether the U.S. would return to negotiations he said 'maybe sometime' and 'for now, I think the situation is very good.' He reiterated Iran must 'completely give up' nuclear arms, asserted the U.S. 'owns' and 'fully controls' the Strait of Hormuz, and said occasional Iranian drone launches 'do cause trouble.'
