White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that President Donald Trump will decide whether the US should get involved in the Israel-Iran conflict within the next two weeks. 

Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,

Trump said in the statement read out by Leavitt.

Trump's decision to delay making any decision on the Iran-Israel conflict for two weeks points at his signature approach to deal making -- to make a hard decision and then dilute it or reverse it altogether. 

He has imposed and then reversed or brought down tariffs on numerous occasions. 

His style has led to coining of an acronym, TACO, meaning Trump always chickens out, which was used to describe an investment approach in response to Trump's volatile tariff policies.

Is Trump going TACO with Iran? Trump had claimed on Wednesday that Iran has reached out to negotiate. “Iran wants to negotiate,” he told reporters.

But he quickly added, “I said it’s very late.” According to Trump, Iranian negotiators had even suggested visiting Washington. “They suggested they come to the White House,” he said.
