President Trump said he might restart Project Freedom if Iran does not sign an agreement. He added that the initiative may instead be designated Project Freedom Plus. Trump made the statements as he indicated he expects to hear back from Iran tonight.
The remarks were captured in a pool note distributed to reporters traveling with the president. @Investingcom reported the comments, which come amid ongoing efforts to secure a deal with Tehran. Trump offered no additional details on the timing or format of Iran's expected response.
The president's remarks represent the first public indication that he is prepared to revive elements of Project Freedom. He framed the potential restart as conditional on Iran's decision not to sign. Trump has previously tied the project to broader diplomatic and security objectives in the region.
His latest comments suggest flexibility on nomenclature while maintaining pressure on Tehran to conclude negotiations.
