Morristown: President Donald Trump said on Sunday that American negotiators had “very good” discussions with an Iranian delegation during the weekend while seeking an agreement to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
“I think we could have good news on the Iran front,” Trump told journalists at Morristown airport in New Jersey, while he was preparing to return to Washington after a weekend in his Golf Bedminster club.
Trump said serious progress had been made. He did not develop the talks in Rome between the American special envoy Steve Witkoff and an Iranian delegation.
“I don’t know if I’m going to tell you something good or bad in the next two days, but I have the feeling that I could tell you something good,” he said.
Trump agrees to delay the prices of the EU until July 9
Trump fell on Sunday from its threat to slashing prices of 50% on European Union imports next month, agreeing to extend the deadline until July 9 for interviews between Washington and the 27 -country block to produce an agreement.
Trump said on Friday that he recommended that a 50% rate set up on June 1 due to the frustration that discussions with the EU did not move quickly enough. The threat has disrupted world financial markets and intensified a trade war which was punctuated by frequent changes in pricing policies towards trade partners and American allies.
Trump, who has repeatedly expressed the disdain for the EU and his treatment of the United States on trade, sold after the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen told him on Sunday that the EU needed more time to reach an agreement.
She asked him during a call to delay the prices until July, the deadline he had initially set when he announced new prices in April. Trump told journalists that he had granted the request.
“We had a very nice call and I agreed to move him,” said Trump before returning to Washington after a weekend in New Jersey. “She said we’re going to come together quickly and see if we can work something.”
Von der Leyen said in an article on X that she had a “good call” with Trump and that the EU was ready to move quickly.
“Europe is ready to advance talks quickly and decisively,” she said. “To reach a good deal, we would need time until July 9.”
The euro and the US dollar increased against the Yen and Swiss Franc of Security after the extension of the deadline.
In early April, Trump set a 90-day window for commercial negotiations between the EU and the United States, which was to end on July 9. But Friday, he upset this period and said he was not at all interested in an agreement.
“I’m not looking for an agreement,” said Trump. “We have concluded the agreement – it’s 50%.” The main American scholarships and European stocks have dropped and the dollar has therefore weakened.
Trump sought to upset the world economy with its trade policies, but after its announcement in April of prices on several countries, he sparked financial market upheavals, he composed his threats in favor of talks. Since then, Washington has signed a pact with Great Britain and has had discussions with China.
But progress with the European Union has been more limited, triggering Trump’s anger and increasing the broader tensions between the two allies on the “America First” agenda of Trump and the long -standing dependence of Europe in Washington for security and defense needs.
Trump says he’s not satisfied with Putin for bombing Ukraine
Donald Trump also expressed a deep misfortune to the bombing of the Russian weekend from Ukraine, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin, “I am not satisfied with Putin”.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. What happened to him? No? He kills a lot of people. I’m not happy with that,” Trump told journalists at Morristown airport in New Jersey when he was preparing to return to Washington.
Trump spoke in reaction to a Russian dam of 367 drones and missiles in Ukrainian cities on Sunday Sunday, including the capital kyiv, in the largest air attack in the war so far, killing at least 12 people and wounding tens more.
Trump tried to bring the two parties to accept a ceasefire in the three-year war in Ukraine and he spoke for more than two hours with Putin last week.
He raised the possibility of imposing more sanctions on Russia in response to the ongoing attacks.
“Always from him, but he sends rockets in cities and kills people, and I don’t like that at all,” said Trump.
