President Donald Trump on Wednesday night said that Iranian leaders “are negotiating” with the United States on a path to end the war.

“By the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they’re afraid to say it because they will be killed by their own people. They’re also afraid they’ll be killed by us,” Trump said from the National Republican Congressional Committee’s fundraising dinner.
