Trump says Memorandum of Understanding "is over"

President Donald Trump said Wednesday morning that he believes the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran “is over,” following a series of strikes across the region.Speaking at the start of a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump called the country “dirty players” for targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, violating a ceasefire.Trump said he’ll let his negotiators “keep talking if they want,” but added that the US was wasting time talking with Iran, and voiced a desire to “do our business” instead of trying to pursue diplomacy.
