Trump Touts Preliminary Deal to End the War with Iran in Press Conference

MS NOW cut away as Trump discussed Iran, the JCPOA and $1.5 billion in released funds during a rambling G7 press conference.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump discussed a preliminary agreement with Iran during a press conference in France, with the proposed deal reportedly including sanctions relief, a ceasefire, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Critics contrast the proposed 1.5-page memorandum with the original Joint Comprehensive Plan, which spanned hundreds of pages and included specific nuclear enrichment constraints and weekly inspections by the Atomic Energy Commission.
  • The agreement reportedly establishes a $300 billion fund Iran can access, while drawing scrutiny over $1.5 billion the United States previously released after the JCPOA signing as interest on frozen Iranian deposits.
  • MS NOW host Alicia Menendez cut away from the press conference on Wednesday, calling President Trump "incoherent" during a live fact check as his remarks included unrelated commentary on granite stairs and drug statistics.
  • A ceremonial signing is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland with Vice President Vance expected to attend, while the administration warns strikes may resume if Iran fails to honor the new commitments.
