Trump Rejects Easing Sanctions on Iran and Casts Doubt on Imminent Deal

President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the prospect of an imminent deal with Iran, saying he is not prepared to ease sanctions and rejecting reports that Washington is considering concessions as part of the talks. According to Bloomberg and a White House meeting report, Trump told Cabinet officials that the United States would keep economic pressure on Tehran while negotiations continue.

The comments came as the administration was still engaged in high-stakes diplomacy aimed at preventing further escalation in the region and resolving questions tied to Iran’s nuclear program. Trump said he was not satisfied with the terms currently being discussed, and he repeated that the U.S. would not give Iran access to relief or funds as part of the negotiations.
