Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he had ordered his deputy, JD Vance, "to focus all his attention on domestic efforts to fight corruption, not on negotiations to reach an agreement to end the war with Iran."
He wrote on the Truth Social social network: "Hundreds of billions of dollars of their money are in our hands and their money is in our hands! We don't need an agreement with Iran." Those days are long gone."
These statements were made shortly after the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Mr. Vance was considering the possibility of holding face-to-face negotiations with a senior Iranian security official. According to this newspaper's report, Donald Trump has told his aides and colleagues that he agrees with J.J.'s resumption of negotiations. Dee Vance made peace with Tehran and gave it the authority to negotiate. According to the AFP news agency, these statements by Donald Trump come as his Republican Party suffered heavy defeats in this month's midterm elections and Democrats took control of Congress.
