Speaking at a 'Board of Peace' meeting at the US Institute of Peace on Thursday February 19, President Trump said the world would know 'over the next probably 10 days' whether Iran would make a deal - later saying '10, 15 days, pretty much, maximum' - and warned 'bad things will happen' otherwise; the remarks were widely reported as an ultimatum backed by the ongoing military buildup.
