Several people said Trump has recently remarked that "JD's our guy" and praised the vice president's performance during a media tour promoting his memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. The appearances, which included interviews on The View, Real Time with Bill Maher, Fox News, and The Megyn Kelly Show, reportedly impressed Trump.

Trump has also privately complimented Vance's recent weight loss and said he looks good lately. “There’s been a lot of that,” one person said.

CNN reports that Trump was frustrated that Energy Secretary Chris Wright publicly announced the agreement without informing him first, while White House officials argued the deal had not been finalized because required notifications to Congress had not yet been sent.

The administration also faced criticism from conservative media and nonproliferation experts, with some arguing the agreement granted Saudi Arabia nuclear cooperation without requiring normalization with Israel.

Trump responded by publicly reinstating normalization as a condition for moving forward and denied the agreement would permit Saudi uranium enrichment.

The reversal surprised U.S. negotiators and Saudi officials, who had viewed the agreement as a major diplomatic achievement.

Consultations with Russia and China are ongoing and continuous, and we regularly consult with our friends in China and Russia whenever there is an opportunity.

Naturally, there have been discussions with Pakistan, as a mediator, regarding their initiatives and proposals. The problem is not the lack of a mediator between us and the United States, but rather the problematic approach of the Americans.

As long as the legitimate goals and demands of the Iranian people are not met, it is natural that we continue our efforts.

The argumentation behind that is it's forced labor. I mean, sorry, but you can't say that for the European Union.

If you compare our labor laws to the ones of the United States, I mean, we have paid vacations; we have very good labor conditions for our employees.

So it's not really grounded.

We had a deal with America, and we have kept to that deal, our side of the deal.

I mean, the negotiations were not easy. It is important for our companies that there is predictability.

That's why the companies were saying, "Get to a result, get to a negotiated deal," because predictability is better than not having the view of what is coming.

President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also.

Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea.

Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests.

The position of the Islamic Republic of Iran is now far higher and stronger than in the past, and we emerged from this war with strength, and going forward we will get through this stage with even greater strength.

What is important is that the Islamic Republic of Iran is now recognized as a symbol of a strong, steadfast, and resilient country, and this is a path we will continue on in the future as well.

Canada disinvited the United States of America to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS to the United States.

The original Deal, terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands.

We changed the terms so that the United States now gets 50% of the Profit.
