Trump projects confidence about Iran deal while meeting with world leaders in France

President Trump has projected confidence about the Iran deal while meeting with world leaders at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bain, France. He arrived Monday for talks with G7 leaders, including some who have been sharply critical of his management of the 15-week conflict that led to a surge in global energy prices.

Mr. Trump said he isn’t sure whether he’ll attend the signing of the agreement to end the Iran war on Friday, suggesting during a joint appearance with French President Emmanuel Macron that he “may be involved,” although Vice President JD Vance “was originally going to do it.”

The U.S. president has hailed the Iran deal as promising, but not a guarantee.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be a good relationship, and we’re going to get along. If we don’t, we go back to where we started. But I don’t think that’s going to be necessary,” said Mr. Trump. “The Iran deal we made is going to bring a lot of, a lot of success to the world, because the oil was really clogged up there for a while.”

Trump added that the Strait of Hormuz will “be completely opened” on Friday.
