Trump: Negotiations hopeless, dissatisfied with Iran deal

Trump on May 24 also stated that negotiations were "progressing in an orderly manner," with time on the side of the United States. Just four days later, his wording sharply shifted to "negotiations hopeless," the most negative public statement since March. Previously, the negotiation process was closely linked to market expectations, with a 21% probability on Polymarket in early May that an agreement would be reached before May 31. This shift, combined with the tough rhetoric of the May 8 "strike action" and "warning of pain," suggests that the negotiation window may be closing. The key point is that Trump attributed the deadlock to "Iran's determination to reach an agreement," unusually portraying his side as the obstacle, implying that internal disagreements within the U.S. or on the negotiation terms themselves have emerged as new, irreconcilable differences, rather than purely technical delays.
On May 28, U.S. President Trump stated during a cabinet meeting that Iran is very eager to reach an agreement, but the U.S. is currently dissatisfied with the deal. Trump told reporters at the White House cabinet meeting: "Iran is very eager to reach an agreement, but it has not been achieved yet... We are not satisfied with it, but we will ultimately get a satisfactory result. If we cannot reach an agreement, we may have to go back and do the work." $BNB
