US President Donald Trump says “there’s a lot of talk going on about Gaza right now, so you’ll be knowing probably in the next 24 hours.”

Trump makes the comments to reporters in the Oval Office in response to a question he appears to have only partially heard about whether he’s planning on introducing a new hostage deal proposal before he heads to the region next week.

The State Department said yesterday that there would likely be an announcement later this week pertaining the resumption of aid into Gaza.

Asked whether the US position is to allow Iran to have a limited nuclear enrichment program, Trump responds, “We haven’t made that decision yet. We will.”

Earlier this week, Trump said that the aim of his administration’s nuclear talks with Iran is to achieve “total dismantlement” of Tehran’s nuclear program, but that he is open to letting the Islamic Republic pursue civilian nuclear energy.
