While speaking to reporters in the White House Oval Office, Trump said Iranian leadership sent the gift on Monday, and it arrived on Tuesday. 'They're going to make a deal. They did something that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present,' Trump said. 'The present arrived today, and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.'
