During a cabinet meeting chaired by President Donald Trump at the White House, discussions on Iran and a potential agreement dominated the agenda. This was Trump’s twelfth cabinet meeting since returning to the Oval Office. According to White House correspondent Manuel Rapalo, the president also addressed domestic issues such as immigration, inflation, and the broader economy, which remain politically sensitive ahead of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.

When asked about the current state of talks with Iran, Trump stated that he wanted to make a great deal, but would not proceed if it failed to meet that standard. Pressure continues to mount on him from Republicans, Democrats, and his own supporters to end the ongoing conflict with Iran. In this context, maintaining momentum in the negotiations has become a key objective for the White House.

Trump made it clear that Washington will only agree to a deal that protects U.S. interests and satisfies national priorities, rejecting any compromise that falls short of those goals.
