Travel Pool #3 gaggle ongoing Iran comments

Trump deplaned at 3:32 pm wearing a red MAGA hat.

He opened his gaggle talking about a peace deal between the Congo and Rwanda

He took several q’s on Iran. He said gabbard is wrong in her assessment of how close Iran is to a nuclear assessment.

He said he isn’t inclined to press Israel to stop airstrikes so negotiations with Iran can continue.

"I think it's very hard to make that request right now. "If somebody is winning, it's a little bit harder to do than if somebody is losing, but we're ready, willing and able, and we've been speaking to Iran, and we'll see what happens."

Trump said he might support a ceasefire, but added: "It's very hard to stop when you look at it, Israel's doing well in terms of war, and I think you would say that Iran is doing less well. It's a little bit hard to get somebody to stop."

More to come. Please double check quotes.
