Trump tells CBS that US, Iran 'getting a lot closer' to agreement

U.S. President Donald Trump told CBS in a phone interview on Saturday that the United States and Iran are "getting a lot closer" to an agreement to end the war in the Middle East.

But in the interview with the TV network, Trump also warned that if the U.S. and Iran do not come to an agreement, "we're going to have a situation where no country will ever be hit as hard as they're about to be hit."
