US President Donald Trump says he is open to engaging Iran and holding talks, reversing recent remarks that it was too early to make a deal. In a post on his Truth Social network, he says he will decide whether the United States chooses to engage.
Trump’s comments come after weeks in which he had argued that a Middle East ceasefire or broader settlement with Iran was not ready. France 24 reports he characterizes Iran as wanting a deal “quickly and badly,” while also framing the potential engagement as conditional on his assessment of whether the US should proceed.
Across the outlets provided, the central point is consistent: Trump signals openness to negotiations with Iran, but does not announce a specific meeting date, proposal, or official diplomatic channel. The difference is mainly in emphasis—Vanguard presents the statement more generally, while France 24 includes more of Trump’s quoted language and references the recent period of caution about deal timing.
