ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq " US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Iran's new leadership "want to talk" and he has agreed, a day after US and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them. They should have done it sooner. They should have given what was very practical and easy to do sooner. They waited too long," Trump told The Atlantic's Michael Scherer in a phone call.

They also talked about a hypothetical scenario for Trump.
Epstein told Bannon that, "Trump would not blink twice at encouraging an attack on us, so he can leap to the country's defense. That's his mindset: If I go down, I'm taking everyone with me."
