Trump: “We are getting closer to a final agreement with Iran. It is getting better every day”

At the same time, Trump refused to give details about the agreement, but said that “every day it gets better and better.”

In addition, Trump stated that he believes that the final agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, adding that otherwise he “wouldn’t be talking about it”, and added that the agreement will also result in Iran’s enriched uranium being handled satisfactorily.

“This issue needs to be resolved one way or another”

CBS News also reported that Trump is expected to speak by phone with the leaders of the Gulf states and other countries, and that the conference call is supposed to discuss negotiations with Iran. At the same time, it was noted that Trump said that if the US and Iran do not reach an agreement, “we will be in a situation where no country will be hurt as badly as they are about to be hurt.” As you may recall, Trump has previously threatened Iran, saying before the cease-fire that began in April that “an entire civilization will die” without an agreement, and recently warned the country that “the clock is ticking.”

Further to these words, American Foreign Minister Rubio, during his visit to India, said today (Saturday) that “there may be news later today”, regarding the state of negotiations between Iran and the USA. “Some progress has been made, even as I speak to you now, some work is being done,” Rubio said, ahead of an official dinner at the US Embassy in New Delhi, India. “There’s a chance, whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a few days, that we’ll have something to say, but this issue needs to be resolved, as the president said, one way or another.”

The markets in the US will be practically closed this week until Tuesday, due to the “Memorial Day” events. Looking at Wall Street, it can be said that since the announcement of the ceasefire in April, the stock markets in the US have recorded sharp price increases that have led the leading indices to record highs. The optimism surrounding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the gradual drop in oil prices and the removal of the cloud of war – provided a big boost to Wall Street. As of the last trading weekend (until May 22), the indices have completed eight consecutive weeks of gains and in fact this is the longest streak of gains since 2023.
