The spokeswoman said the president “would be interested enough to call” on countries in the region to help finance the war. — I won't get ahead of him, but I know it's definitely an idea he has. “I think you'll hear more from him on this,” she added.
“Talks are going well”
She also assured that the US talks with Iran are going “well”, despite what the Iranians say in the public space. “The remaining parts of the regime are increasingly eager to end the destruction and come to the negotiating table while they still can,” Leavitt said.
— Despite all the public posturing by the regime and false reports, talks are ongoing and going well. What is said publicly is, of course, significantly different from what is communicated to us privately, she noted.
Trump told the New York Post on Monday that the Americans are talking to the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and it will be revealed within a week whether he wants to cooperate with the United States.
As Iran's IRNA news agency reported on Sunday, Ghalibaf said that Iranian forces were waiting for American troops to arrive on land in order to “set them on fire.” He believes the United States is planning a ground attack, despite publicly engaging in diplomatic efforts to end the war.
