President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he thought the US would make a deal with Iran after mid-term elections are held on Nov. 3.
"I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election," Trump said during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
Trump told the United Nations General Assembly that he had to choose whether to "annihilate" Iran if it fails to make a deal to end the Middle East war.
"Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?"
