President Donald Trump has declared that the war in Iran is over – even though the White House is reportedly preparing to hold a second round of peace talks with Iranian officials in Pakistan.
Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo left the White House Tuesday evening, and posted a short clip teasing her interview with the president that is set to air Wednesday morning.
‘One thing that I’ll leave you with – I said to him, “Mr President, you keep talking about the war like, “was, was, was,”‘ she told her followers.
