Trump: "Iran Will Never Have a Nuclear Weapon" — But No One Has Seen the Deal

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump is ending a meeting of world leaders at the Group of Seven (G7) summit. He is trying to sell his plan to end the war with Iran. But he faces doubt from his own party and worry from other countries. Trump says his agreement will stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But no one has seen the full text of the deal. The White House and Iran have not released it. They plan to sign it on Friday at a resort in Switzerland. “It’s a great document,” Trump said. “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. It won’t have one to buy, to develop — it will not have a nuclear weapon. That’s about 99.9% of what I wanted.” But some U.S. lawmakers are not sure the deal is strong enough. Key ally Israel is also nervous about ending the war under these terms. Iran’s foreign minister gave a different view. He said the deal would fail if Israel does not leave southern Lebanon. Israeli forces are fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants there. Trump said he is “not happy” with Israel’s actions in Lebanon. “It just goes on forever,” he said. Israeli strikes have killed nearly 4,000 people and displaced more than 1 million. The war has also hurt relations between the U.S. and India. Three Indian sailors were killed in a U.S. military strike on a tanker. India has formally protested. Before the war, one-fifth of the world’s oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has blocked that route. World leaders are now discussing new ways to move oil. After the summit, Trump will have dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles. Trump said the beautiful palace was a big reason he stayed longer. “Versailles is the real deal,” he said. “I said I’d like to do it.”
