Trump dials back rhetoric on Iran, says he wants to make a deal - Reuters:

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would impose fresh sanctions on Iran but that he wanted to make a deal to bolster its flagging economy, an apparent move to defuse tensions following the shooting down of an unmanned U.S. drone this week by the Islamic Republic.

On Thursday, an Iranian missile destroyed a U.S. Global Hawk surveillance drone, an incident that Washington said happened in international airspace.

Tehran repeated on Saturday that the drone was shot down over its territory and said it would respond firmly to any U.S. threat.
