WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Thursday said he was in no hurry to launch an attack on Iran over its nuclear program, a day ahead of U.S.-Iran talks in Rome.

Asked about a New York Times report that said he had waved off an Israeli attack on Iran, Trump said: “I wouldn’t say waved off. I am not in a rush to do it because I think Iran has a chance to have a great country.”
