US President Donald Trump claims Iran submitted a response to Washington’s latest proposal for a nuclear deal minutes after he announced that his top envoys would not be making the trip to Pakistan to meet with the Islamic Republic’s negotiators.
Trump says the latest Iranian proposal was much better than the previous one, but still not adequate.
“The Iranians gave us a paper that should have been better and interestingly, the minute I cancelled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better… They offered a lot but not enough,” Trump tells reporters.
It’s unclear what this means for the negotiations, however. Trump has indicated that he prefers to keep the ceasefire with Iran in place, while at the same time maintaining the US blockade of Iranian ports, evidently believing that Tehran will capitulate to all of Washington’s demands under the economic pressure — something the Islamic Republic has yet to show any indication that it will do.
