Trump says he is ‘not happy’ with the Iran nuclear talks but indicates he’ll give them more time

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he's “not happy” with the latest talks over Iran's nuclear program but indicated he would give negotiators more time to reach a deal to avert another war in the Middle East.
