Trump, UAE President Meet at G7 as He Says Hormuz Will Fully Reopen by Friday
U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that he met with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian, France. During the encounter, Trump said he “likes the idea of sending the deal with Iran to Congress,” referring to the agreement under discussion.
He also repeated his earlier claims that “the second phase of the deal with Iran will move quickly” and that “the Strait of Hormuz will fully open by Friday.” Trump said the memorandum of understanding makes clear that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.
The comments came as Trump discussed the Iran deal and regional maritime security with the UAE leader at the summit. No further details were provided about the agreement’s terms or the next steps beyond Trump’s statement that the process would move to Congress and proceed rapidly.
