Morristown: President Donald Trump said Sunday that American negotiators had “very good” conversations with an Iranian delegation during the weekend, since he is looking for an agreement to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
“I think we could have good news on the front of Iran,” Trump told journalists at Morristown airport, New Jersey, while preparing to return to Washington after a weekend at his Bedminster Golf Club.
Trump said great progress had been made. He did not explain the conversations in Rome among us, the special envoy Steve Witkoff and an Iranian delegation.
“I don’t know if I will tell you something good or bad in the next two days, but I have the feeling that I could be telling him something good,” he said.
Trump agrees to delay EU rates until July 9
Trump retreated on Sunday of his threat of slapping 50% of tariffs on imports from the European Union next month, agreeing to extend the deadline until July 9 for conversations between Washington and the 27 nations block to produce an agreement.
Trump said Friday that he was recommending a 50% tariff in his place on June 1 due to the frustration that conversations with the EU did not move quickly enough. The threat missed global financial markets and intensified a commercial war that has been scored by frequent changes in tariff policies towards commercial partners and allies of the United States.
Trump, who has repeatedly expressed disdain for the EU and his treatment of the United States on trade, ceded after the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, told him Sunday that the EU needed more time to reach an agreement.
She asked him during a call to delay rates until July, the deadline he had originally established when he announced new rates in April. Trump told journalists that he had granted the request.
“We had a very pleasant call, and I agreed to move it,” Trump said before returning to Washington after a weekend in New Jersey. “She said we will quickly meet and see if we can solve something.”
Von der Leyen said in an X post that he had a “good call” with Trump and that the EU was ready to move quickly.
“Europe is ready to advance in conversations quickly and decisively,” he said. “To get to a good business, we would need the time until July 9.”
The US euro and the dollar increased against refuge and the Swiss Franco after the extension of the deadline.
In early April, Trump established a 90 -day window for commercial conversations between the EU and the United States, which would end on July 9. But on Friday that period overturned and said he was not interested in an agreement.
“I’m not looking for a deal,” Trump said then. “We have established the treatment, it is 50%.” The main rates of US shares. And European shares fell and the dollar weakened as a result.
Trump has tried to fly the world economy with its commercial policies, but after its announcement in April of tariffs in multiple countries it caused the agitation of the financial market, reduced its threats in favor of the conversations. Since then, Washington has signed a pact with Great Britain and has held conversations with China.
But the progress with the European Union has been more limited, which caused Trump’s anger and adds to broader tensions between the two allies on the “America First” America of Trump and the dependence of Europe in Washington for the security and defense needs.
Trump says he is not happy with Putin for bombing Ukraine
Donald Trump also expressed a deep unhappiness for the weekend bombing of Russia of Ukraine, saying about Russian President Vladimir Putin: “I am not happy with Putin.”
“I don’t know what happens to him.
Trump spoke in reaction to a Russian alluvion of 367 drones and missiles in the Ukrainian cities during the night on Sunday, including the capital kyiv, in the largest air attack of the war until now, killing at least 12 people and hurting more dozen.
Trump has been trying to make both parties remember the fire in the three -year war in Ukraine and spoke for more than two hours with Putin last week.
He raised the possibility of imposing more sanctions on Russia in response to the ongoing attacks.
“He always took with him, but he is sending rockets to the cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all,” Trump said.
