President Donald Trump said the war with Iran could end "very soon" and claimed Tehran wants to reach an agreement with Washington.
Speaking at a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump offered no specifics about any possible negotiations but said a deal could be reached "at any time".
He framed the possibility of an agreement as part of a broader message about U.S. priorities, arguing it is time for the United States to stop bearing the burden of supporting other nations.
Campaign message and foreign policy
At the rally the president singled out European countries while pressing his argument that American resources should be reallocated. In his remarks he said it is time for the U.S. "to stop supporting almost all countries in the world," repeating a line aimed at voters concerned about foreign spending.
Trump did not give further details on how talks with Tehran would be conducted, who would negotiate, or what issues would be on the table.
The comments came in the context of his reelection campaign and reflect an effort to connect foreign-policy assertions to domestic economic and political priorities.
