President Donald Trump predicted on Sunday that his administration would strike a new nuclear deal with Iran before the end of 2020 if he were to have a second term in office.

"If we win, we will have a deal with Iran within four weeks," Trump said during a fundraiser in New Jersey, according to a video published by the Jewish publication Belaaz and Jacob Kornbluh from the Jewish Insider.
Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran in 2018 and reimposed harsh US sanctions on Tehran after saying that the pact, negotiated under the Obama administration along with the world powers, was disastrous. Trump faulted the agreement for paving the path toward a bomb and letting Iran continue its aggression in the region.
The international community has tried to salvage the deal, but unless a new administration in 2021 rejoins it, it is likely to collapse entirely and UN sanctions could be reimposed.
On Monday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the United Nations to extend the arms embargo on the Islamic republic, which is set to expire in several months.
