RIYADH (Dispatches) -- President Trump on Tuesday offered an “olive branch” to Iran as he projected optimism about the future of West Asia in remarks from Saudi Arabia. “As I have shown repeatedly, I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be very profound, which obviously they are in the case of Iran,” Trump said. “I want to make a deal with Iran. If I can make a deal with Iran I’ll be very happy,” Trump added. “We’re going to make your region and the world a safer place. But if Iran’s leadership rejects this olive branch … then we will have no choice but to inflict massive, maximum pressure.”
