Amid speculation that the US is desperate to cut a deal with Iran to prevent rising costs, US President Donald Trump claims he is “possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position.”

“I have all the time in the world, but Iran doesn’t — the clock is ticking,” he writes on Truth Social.

“A deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our allies and, in fact, the rest of the World,” Trump insists.
