Trump again expresses optimism about reaching an agreement between the U.S. and Iran

Odaily Planet Daily News reports that on May 6th, local time, U.S. President Trump stated that he is optimistic about reaching a framework agreement with Iran, believing it “has the potential to produce results.” When asked about the specific timeframe for (reaching the) agreement, Trump estimated “about a week.” During an interview that day, Trump expressed optimism about the prospects of the U.S. reaching an agreement with Iran, saying that the agreement could include Iran transporting its high-enriched uranium to the United States. Trump said he feels the U.S. is increasingly close to an agreement, “I think the chances of reaching an agreement are very high,” and both sides could reach an agreement next week to end this conflict. But he also threatened, “If they don’t agree, then we will carry out bombing.” When asked whether the possible agreement includes Iran transferring its high-enriched uranium out of the country or possibly to the United States, Trump replied, “Yes, not ‘maybe,’ it will be transported to the United States.” Trump also said Iran will promise not to operate underground nuclear facilities and “will adhere to this arrangement in good faith for a considerable period of time.”
