US President Donald Trump said he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the ongoing Iran nuclear talks, implying that he is concerned that Tehran is demanding too much in the negotiations. “They are excellent negotiators, but they are tough. Sometimes it can be too tough, and that's the problem,” Trump said at a White House event. “So we're working to reach an agreement to avoid damage and death.” Trump has promised to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, but Netanyahu has long been skeptical about curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions through diplomatic efforts.
