WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters that he thought the Iranian people should rise up against the government in the country if a ceasefire were declared, but understood that it was too dangerous for them to do so."Well they should do it but, again, the consequences are great," Trump said during a White House news conference. "I mean, they were told, 'If you protest, you will be shot immediately.'"
