Speaking to reporters at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France on Tuesday, President Donald Trump stated that a memorandum of understanding reached with Iran makes one thing unmistakably clear: Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
Trump indicated he intends to release the full text of the U.S.-Iran memorandum in a formal setting at a later time.
The president also expressed support for sending the agreement to Congress for review, a step that some Republican lawmakers have been pushing for.
“I never thought about sending it, never even thought about it, but I will,” Trump said. “I will send it to Congress. I like the idea.”
The current U.S.-Iran deal serves as a framework, with both sides expected to work out the finer details over the coming weeks. A 60-day deadline has been set for the next round of negotiations.
“I think it’s going to go pretty quickly,” Trump said when asked about the timeline for those talks.
Trump elaborated on his confidence while meeting with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of the G7 gathering. “Iran wants to get it done. They have to get back to business, and the relationship is now normalized, so I think it’s going to go pretty quickly,” he said.
He added that while the pace of negotiations could vary, there is potential for a swift resolution. “Could go faster, could take longer too, but it could go fast,” Trump said.
