President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. will engage in direct talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program. Trump warned Iran that they would be in “great danger” if they do not abandon their nuclear weapons program. The talks are set to begin on Saturday, with Trump emphasizing the need for a deal to be made. He also mentioned the possibility of military action against Iran if the talks are unsuccessful. Iran’s United Nations mission did not immediately comment on the situation.
Trump recently sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing direct negotiations. Although Iran rejected the offer, they did leave the door open for indirect negotiations. Trump has consistently called on Iran to abandon their nuclear program or face the consequences.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for Trump’s diplomatic efforts and reiterated their shared goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump and Netanyahu also discussed tensions with Iran, Israel-Turkey relations, and the International Criminal Court, which had issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu. Additionally, they addressed tariffs, with Netanyahu pledging to eliminate the trade deficit with the U.S.
Experts speculate that Trump may use tariffs as leverage to force Israel into concessions, possibly related to ending the conflict in Gaza or normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia. The tariffs could potentially impact key Israeli industries and lead to job losses. Israel has taken steps to address the tariffs, but the potential economic repercussions remain a concern for the country.
