President Trump said the United States will meet Iran next week, as tenuous ceasefies Between Israel and Iran is for the moment.
At a press conference on Wednesday to eliminate the NATO summit in The Hague, the Netherlands, the president said that there could be an official agreement at one point with Iran, but it does not think it is necessary because their nuclear sites were “exploded in the kingdom.”
“We are going to speak to them next week, with Iran,” the president told journalists at the press conference, adding that the United States would “meet” with them, although he did not specify who would be involved in the meeting or where it will take place.
“I don’t care if I have an agreement or not,” he said. “The only thing we ask is what we asked before:” We don’t want nuclear. “But we destroyed nuclear. Well, we have exploded.
The president met with other world leaders on the sidelines of the summit, in the middle of the prudent optimism that the ceasefire The negotiated Trump administration will be held. The 12 -day conflict killed 28 people in Israel and hundreds in Iran.

“It was a 12 -day war. And we think it’s over,” Trump said at the press conference. “I don’t think they’re going to turn against each other, I don’t think.”
“Because I treated both, and they are both tired, exhausted,” said Trump. “They fought very, very hard and very violently, very violently, and they were both satisfied to go home and go out. And can he start again? I suppose that one day, it might start soon.”
At the top, Trump said that Iran’s enrichment efforts were set back “mainly decades”. The United States strikes On Iranian nuclear installations were “very, very successful. This is called” obliteration “,” he said at the press conference. An initial classified assessment By the Defense Intelligence Agency, however, estimated that strikes only withdraw the Tehran nuclear program in a few months, according to three sources familiar with its content.
Regarding the conflict of Israel-Hamas, Trump expressed his optimism and said that there was “great progress”.
“I think great progress is made on Gaza,” said Trump. “I think that because of this attack that we have made, I think we are going to have very good news.”
Trump met Wednesday NATO secretary general, Mark Rutte,Who complimented the president of his efforts to stimulate the defense expenses of other countries and his efforts in the Middle East.
“You are a man of force and also a man of peace,” Rutte told Mr. Trump.
Trump also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy said they had discussed “how to make a cease-fire and a real peace agreement”.
“We appreciate the attention and the desire to help bring peace closer,” wrote Zelenskyy on X, adding: “Details will follow.”
NATO members, with the exception of Spain and Slovakia, have agreed with a spectacular increase in their defense expenses, 5% of GDP, a goal in a hurry by Mr. Trump, although US defense expenses are not for this purpose. Before leaving for the summit, Trump said the United States should not have to achieve this goal, because it has contributed so much to NATO in the past.
“This week, NATO allies have undertaken to considerably increase their defense expenses to 5% of GDP, something that no one really thought possible,” Trump said at his press conference, adding that he will be known as “the commitment of defense of The Hague”.
It is a swirling trip for Mr. Trump, who arrived in the Netherlands on Tuesday and is expected to return to Washington on Wednesday.
