What Trump said about the possible US–Iran deal: Trump told reporters that discussions are ongoing and a decision is close. “So now we may have to take it a step further, or we may not. Maybe we’re going to make a deal, you’re going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days,” he said. He added that the US wants to ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. Vance said one of the president’s “red lines” is clear: “The Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon.”Story continues below this ad
