U.S. President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the nuclear negotiations with Iran on the 27th (local time), while also hinting at further dialogue.

Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for a visit to Texas, President Trump said, "I'm not satisfied that they are not giving us what we have to have."

The phrase "what we have to have" appears to refer to the U.S. demand for Iran to dismantle its nuclear program, meaning Iran would commit to not possessing nuclear weapons and would give up its uranium enrichment rights and existing enriched uranium stockpiles.

However, President Trump added, "We'll see what happens," and "We'll talk at a later time. We will have additional conversations today."

The United States and Iran held their third round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, the previous day, but failed to reach an agreement. After the negotiations concluded, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, who mediated, announced that the delegations from both sides would continue "discussions at a technical level" in Vienna, Austria, next week after consulting with their respective governments.

President Trump repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the negotiation situation, stating, "I am not happy with the way," and "I'm not pleased with the way they are negotiating," but he seemed to keep the door open for further dialogue by saying, "So we'll see what happens."

Amid speculation that the U.S. might take military action against Iran if negotiations fail, President Trump responded to a question about whether this would immediately lead to regime change in Iran by saying, "Nobody knows," and "There might be and there might not be."

When asked about the possibility of using force against Iran, President Trump replied, "We have the finest military in the world, by far," and "I like not to use it, but sometimes you have to."

Regarding the risk of deep involvement in Middle East affairs if Iran were attacked, he stated, "There are always risks. There are risks anytime there is a war. Both good and bad."

When asked if he had made a "final decision" regarding Iran, President Trump replied, "No."

During a speech in Texas that day, President Trump commented on Iran, saying, "A lot is happening right now and we have major decisions to make. It's not an easy decision."

He added, "They (Iran) want to make a deal, but we will make a deal that makes sense (if we do)," and "I'm trying to do it in a peaceful way, but they are very tricky and dangerous people."
