President Trump canceled a planned Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Tuesday after inclement weather forced the session to the White House. Within the first ten minutes of the meeting, he told senior officials that no agreement with Iran was ready to announce.
Trump had kept staff in Washington over the holiday weekend and skipped his eldest son’s wedding in anticipation of a deal. ” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was traveling in India, said on Sunday and again on Monday that a deal could be reached that day.
The proposed one-page memorandum of understanding would start a 60-day period to address Iran’s nuclear program and its stock of enriched uranium. It would also include staged resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, an extended cease-fire involving Hezbollah in Lebanon, and possible sanctions relief for Iran.
The region has faced Iranian missile strikes and disruptions to energy exports after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a U.S. blockade. Senator Lindsey Graham posted on X that any deal leaving Iran able to threaten the strait and Gulf infrastructure would shift regional power.
” Trump later posted on social media that he would accept only a clear win and that the agreement was not yet complete.
