On the US-Iran deal
President Trump said the proposed agreement with Iran is not final.
Speaking at a meeting with Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi on Wednesday, he said:
“If I don’t like it, we’ll go back
to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head… if they
don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle
of their head, OK?”
He also reiterated that the US is not investing in Iran. It comes after reports that the US was prepared to allow an investment fund for Iran in exchange for Tehran’s agreement to a final settlement.
On Tuesday, the US president also said that “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon” under the deal.
On Israel
In a joint meeting at the summit with the Emir of Qatar, President Trump criticised the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he has to be “more responsible with respect to Lebanon”. Israel has been fighting Hezbollah for “too long and too many people are being killed.”
Both Israel and Hezbollah have carried out attacks against each other since the US-Iran agreement was announced on Sunday night.
On Ukraine
Also on Tuesday Trump said he had a very good meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and that Russia should “make a deal.”
He added that “soon we will be able” to reimpose sanctions on Russian oil.
