President Donald Trump on Thursday thanked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for his attempt to de-escalate tensions between the U.S. and Iran but said the time wasn’t right for diplomacy. The rebuff came moments before Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Tehran for what appeared to be“While I very much appreciate P.M. Abe going to Iran to meet with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,” Trump wrote on Twitter, “I personally feel that it is too soon to even think about making a deal.
