President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet on Wednesday at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war with Iran, saying “things are going very well” days after insisting a settlement was “largely negotiated.” Trump’s Republican allies have expressed concerns that closing his war of choice will be unsatisfactory, putting off critical issues to be resolved later. “It’s gotta be perfect,” Trump said during the meeting, adding that he won’t sign a “crummy” deal.
