Trump says he's open to Iran talks without preconditions

WASHINGTON - President Trump, who says he made an 11th-hour decision last week to call off a retaliatory military strike against Iran, declared in an interview aired Sunday that war would mean "obliteration" for the Islamic republic. But he also said he was open to talks without preconditions with Tehran.

In a wide-ranging interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump also said he did not want to be impeached, but believed that if proceedings were opened in the House, it would help him politically in 2020.

And he said he "may" warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against interfering in the U.S. election when the two leaders meet this week on the sidelines of the Group of 20
