Multiple reports describe US President Donald Trump referencing concerns about his Iran deal during his closing remarks at the G7 summit. In the final speech, Trump appears to emphasize that he views the agreement as problematic, even as he attempts to frame the wider summit outcome. Rather than presenting a straightforward endorsement of the Iran arrangement, his comments are portrayed as reflecting uncertainty and disagreement with key aspects of the deal.
