Trump says Iran ceasefire "over" and talks a "waste of time"
President Trump on Wednesday said he believes the ceasefire with Iran is over and that while negotiations can continue, they are a "waste of time."
Why it matters: Three weeks after the U.S. and Iran signed a peace deal, both sides are launching fresh attacks and any sense of calm in the region has evaporated almost entirely.
What they're saying: "To me, I think it's over," Trump said in response to a question about the ceasefire at the NATO summit in Turkey.
- "I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum," Trump said.
By the numbers: The price of oil skyrocketed after Trump's comments, rising more than 5% in morning trading.
