WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - If Iran wants to avoid the reimposition of U.S. sanctions it
should take up President Donald Trump's offer to negotiate, White House
national security adviser John Bolton said on Monday. |

Asked in an interview on Fox News what the leaders of Iran could
do, Bolton said: "They could take up the president's offer to
negotiate with them, to give up their ballistic missile and
nuclear weapons programs fully and really verifiably not under
the onerous terms of the Iran nuclear deal, which really are not
satisfactory."
"If Iran were really serious they'd come to the table. We'll
find out whether they are or not."
