Trump says Iran deal 'very possible' before Xi summit

newsMay 7, 202644283

President Donald Trump told Bloomberg that a deal with Iran is "very possible" ahead of his summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He also issued stern warnings about Iran and signaled potential military options while negotiations continue, mixing pressure with diplomacy. That combination could change the tone of the U.S.-China talks and influence oil markets and regional stability if negotiations advance.

How about checking with the Iranians before presenting peace as imminent based on something Trump says? There are multiple sides to this negotiation—always have been—and it doesn't work unless they both agree. How many times are you going to fall for the same lie? You're supposed to be journalists.

It’s darkly funny to me how every week, Trump just gooses the market with some demonstrably absurd announcement, some big inside trades happen in advance on it, and then we reset for the same con next week.

The U.S. and Iran have had "good talks over the last 24 hours," President Trump said today, expressing confidence that a deal is possible in the coming days.

How many times has he said this? Stop being stenographers.

Trump entered negotiations with himself again, only to lose yet another round.

Do you just run the same story as the last times he said this or are you sure to adopt the new framing Trump is using to set the agenda each time?

Trump went to war with Iran to end up with a deal that’s worse than the Obama agreement he ripped up. If you’re wondering how it’s possible to bankrupt a casino.

Negotiations with Iran have seen a breakthrough in the last 24 hours. President Trump describes a deal as very possible. The strategy remains a mix of formal proposals and the threat of increased military pressure if Tehran does not agree to terms.

Donald Trump declared Wednesday in the Oval Office that a deal with Iran was “very possible.” Only hours earlier, the same president had threatened Iran with new bombings. If Tehran failed to agree to American demands, “the bombing will start again,”

"Trump says deal with Iran is 'very possible' while Iran downplays reports of peace talks..." Okay... Iran wants a nuclear program, their missiles, and Israel to stop attacking Gaza and Lebanon. The US is completely opposite. #OperationClusterF www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

For additional context look at the faces of who Obama had agreeing to the inspectors with a possible outcome where Iran might soften with a peaceful nonaggression solution I’m not dismissing Iran’s religious fanatic leaders but this deal had better potential outcomes versus trump illegal war

It occurs to me that Trump may not realize that he is talking with mediators in Pakistanis and not directly with Iranians. His brain is complete mush.

Trump says deal with Iran is "very possible" while Iran downplays reports of peace talks. We've heard it all before. Meaningless babble. The only way out of his idiotic war would involve humiliating Trump, and he will not abide that despite going to war over a "gut feeling".
