Trump spoke with Axios and said:
“The
Iranians want to meet. They want to make a deal. I think a meeting will
probably take place over the weekend. I think we will get a deal in the
next day or two.”
It sounds like all the details have been worked out and Trump’s talk about Iran not getting its funds unfrozen sounds hollow. Just now the WSJ reports that the US told Iran it would get $20 billion if it hands over its stockpile of uranium. They cited people familiar.
Trump also touched on Israel and Lebanon:
“Israel has to stop. They can’t continue to blow buildings up. I am not gonna allow it,” he said.
We will see how much sway he has in that department.
Update: Trump tells the AFP there are no sticking points in the Iran deal.
