I'm confident that President Trump won't sign a bad deal.

The MOU as described by the vice president and administration seems very promising. Iranian media reports about the deal seem concerning.

I'd like to have a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions. My skepticism is Iran itself. What would a good deal look like? No enrichment.

We're opening up the straits and we're stopping hostilities — that is a success of its own, but whether or not we can get phase two, I don't know.

When it comes to the nuclear program, yeah, that's the law (Congress must approve). And he said he'd send it over. So, yeah.

The president can be trusted. I don't know about the Iranians — given 47 years of deceit, I would say no.

President Trump's done more to deal with Iran than anybody since I've been around.

They're the weakest they've been militarily. Their economy is in shambles.

The goal for me is to put Iran in a box so we can get regional peace.

Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords, and that will only happen with a weak Iran.

"What if the deal does this? What if the deal doesn't do that?"

I told them, "If you don't know, SHUT UP!"

What I do know is the Strait of Hormuz is open. The blockade on both sides is lifted.

President Trump did not listen to Israel's objections on this matter.

Iran responded positively to that will, and they reached an outcome.

Our hope is that these technical negotiations will end as soon as possible and that there will be a form of peace in our region.

Israel's stance in the region is not just a problem for a few countries — it's a problem for the entire world, and the entire world is aware of it.

For the first time, a shared understanding is forming across the entire world about dissolving the illusion that Israel has created. This understanding needs to turn into action by following the necessary diplomatic methods.

When Israel sees that the entire world is engaged in a diplomatic effort against it, it will not be able to take action.

The talks focus on collaboration for the Rafale’s next major upgrade, expected to enter service around 2030. While the enhanced Rafale will not replace the canceled FCAS—particularly lacking advanced features such as stealth—it could serve as a foundation for future fighter development.

A successful Rafale partnership with the UAE, which already operates the aircraft, would strengthen France’s ability to pursue alternative defense collaborations and support the development of a future combat aircraft for the 2040s without relying on Germany.

If Donald Trump were elected the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Democrats would still say the United States has lost this.

You've got Iranian propagandists out there saying, "Well, they get all these things," and they leave out the fact that they only get those things if they fundamentally transform themselves as a country.

The United States wins either way.

Whatever is being negotiated, President Trump is going to declare victory and will end up where we were after the JCPOA and call that a victory.

The JCPOA he withdrew from.

I've seen the agreement. We have our sources.

It is a reasonable length for an agreement, which is in effect a cessation of hostilities.

While the public text broadly covers sanctions relief, nuclear commitments, asset unfreezing, and economic cooperation, officials say key Iranian concessions were made through private back-channel discussions and are not explicitly included in the document. These include cooperation on neutralizing Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile under international oversight.

The framework also outlines economic incentives, including access to a proposed $300 billion development fund and the resumption of Iranian oil exports through sanctions waivers, with all benefits tied to Iranian compliance.

U.S. negotiators are pushing to release the text before Friday’s signing ceremony, though Iran and mediators have requested a delayed rollout.

Project estimates prepared by Clark Construction placed the cost as high as $600 million, with more than half expected to come from taxpayer-funded sources, including the U.S. Secret Service and the White House Military Office.

Records also show that by March, the federal government had already approved tens of millions of dollars in payments related to the project.

Internal estimates dating back to July 2025 projected significant public funding from the outset, despite public statements that the project would be financed by Trump and private donors.

Xi described Myanmar as a priority in China’s neighborhood diplomacy and expressed support for advancing the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, post-earthquake reconstruction efforts, and cooperation against telecom fraud, online gambling, and drug trafficking.

He also reiterated China’s backing for dialogue and reconciliation efforts aimed at achieving lasting stability in northern Myanmar.

Min Aung Hlaing reaffirmed Myanmar’s commitment to the One-China principle and pledged to strengthen cooperation with Beijing in trade, investment, infrastructure, border security, and crime prevention. He also voiced support for China’s major global initiatives and emphasized Myanmar’s commitment to protecting Chinese personnel and investments.

The companies include firms accused of supplying drone components to Russia, facilitating sales of restricted Nvidia chips to Chinese institutions, and supporting Chinese military drone and robotics programs.

The Entity List has not been updated since October, the longest gap in more than a decade.

Senior Commerce Department officials have been reluctant to proceed with new listings since late 2025 out of concern that additional sanctions could further strain U.S.-China relations.

President Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles have directed officials to find ways to encourage shipping companies and insurers to resume operations through the waterway as U.S.-Iran negotiations continue.

One proposal under discussion would create a fee-based “VIP pass” system offering priority transit and possible military protection. Another idea being considered is using the Defense Production Act to require U.S.-based insurers to provide coverage for vessels operating in the area.

The proposals also aim to encourage greater European participation in maritime security operations in the region.

I respect the vice president's role here, but I know who's making the deal. President Trump is the one that's greenlighting this.

If I were still at his side, you know, I would urge him to go back to his first instincts when it comes to Iran, and that is peace through strength.

What we're hearing echo out of this potential memorandum of understanding, it smacks of appeasement.
