Trump warns Iran to negotiate a nuclear deal

Newsday

Expires on Saturday 6:00am

President Donald Trump has warned Iran that an “armada” is heading toward the country and that it should “make a deal” with the U.S. on its contested nuclear program or face a large-scale U.S. military attack. We assess the threat of military action. We look at the visit of the UK Prime Minister to China. Keir Starmer has said the UK is seeking a 'more sophisticated relationship' with China. And we go to Minneapolis where two federal agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday have been placed on administrative leave. The Customs and Border Protection officials have said the decision is standard procedure and went on to say they are investigating the killing. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
