Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling from Florida to Washington, DC, Trump said Iranian officials reached out Saturday seeking negotiations. "They called yesterday. Iran called to negotiate yesterday," he said. "I think they're tired of being beat up by the United States. Iran wants to negotiate."
