Trump says Iran deal is nearly complete and could be signed in Europe within days
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a deal to end the conflict with Iran is nearly complete, adding that negotiators are finalizing documents and could sign an agreement in Europe within days.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump declared that negotiators had reached a breakthrough and suggested the agreement was largely finished pending completion of final paperwork.
“We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran,” Trump said. “The documents are in pretty final shape, so we’ll see. It should be done pretty quickly.”
Trump said the agreement would ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, which he described as the central objective of the administration’s pressure campaign against Tehran.
The president also said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the agreement is signed, potentially easing pressure on global energy markets after weeks of military tensions and maritime disruptions in the region.
Trump added that Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend the signing ceremony, which he said could take place in Europe as soon as this weekend.
