Trump optimistic about Iran deal at G7 summit, asserts Iran will 'never' aquire nuclear weapon
US President Donald Trump said he plans to release the text of the agreement with Iran in a formal setting, in comments to the media at the G7 summit in France on Tuesday.
He also stated that Iran has agreed to never obtain or create nuclear weapons.
“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that’s what it says. It won’t have one.”
Trump also confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz would be operated toll-free during and after the 60-day period reportedly designated for negotiations in the agreement.
“The strait will be open toll-free, and it’s toll-free beyond the 60 days,” he said.
Trump also said that the US plans on destroying Iran’s enriched uranium.
“We’re in no rush, but we’ll get it, and when we get it, we will destroy it.”
In the past two days, speculation has surrounded Trump’s deal with Tehran, which is meant to lead to an end to the war with Iran, and is due to be signed on Friday.
At the G7 meeting, Trump told reporters that he means to “go over the document with the media in a couple of days.”
This is a developing story.
