One evening before his appointed G7 visit to the White House in Canada, President Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C., early on Monday morning.
After Israel began attacking targets inside Iran late next week, Trump has increased the pressure on Tehran to reach a “deal” with the United States. He did, however, state to reporters that he wasn’t trying to dealer a “ceasefire” on his return journey to Joint Base Andrews.
I’m not trying to find a truce. The leader stated before adding that he is considering a” full give-up” by Iran.” We’re looking at better than a ceasefire.
Trump responded by mentioning the possibility that Iran might expand its retaliation against Israel to contain American priorities in the region, saying that” they know not to reach our forces.”
He continued,” We’ll come down so hard.” ” It’ll be gloves off.”
In the end, Trump argued that he should go back to D.C. to watch the conflict lived, in the Situation Room, rather than be briefed by Canadian aides via phone.
He said,” Being on the image is much better, and we did everything I had to do at the G7.”
White House officials claimed last week that Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, was also willing to negotiate with Egyptian officials, but the president announced on Tuesday that he is now thinking about sending Witkoff or JD Vance to the region.
He told investigators,” It depends what happens when I get back. ” I’m not very in the disposition to negotiate,” I said.
AFTER ISRAELI STRIKES, TRUMP PRESSURES IRAN TO Create DEAL WITH US.
Reports from Israel on Monday night claimed that American combat helicopters were assisting Israeli troops in carrying out strikes on Iranian goals. The Trump presidency firmly refuted those assertions.
The American military continues to hold their defensive position, and that has never changed. In a statement released by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later shared by the Pentagon,” We will defend American troops & our interests,” said Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.
