Trump advises negotiators to avoid rushing Iran deal

On May 24, President Donald Trump urged his negotiators to "not rush into a deal" with Iran, stating that "time is on our side." In a post on Truth Social, he criticized the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as the Iran nuclear deal, which he withdrew from in 2018, calling it "one of the worst deals ever made by our country" and attributing its creation to former President Barack Obama. Trump claimed that the current negotiations with Iran represent the opposite of the previous deal, asserting that it is designed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. He mentioned that the deal was "largely negotiated" and that final aspects were being finalized. Trump emphasized the importance of taking time to ensure the deal is correct, stating, "Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!" Secretary of State Marco Rubio also noted that "significant progress" had been made in the negotiations and suggested that Trump might make an announcement later that day, as reported by The New York Times.
