Trump holds meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran deal

On Thursday, the two countries had agreed a framework of a deal – known as a memorandum of understanding – pending the approval of Trump and Iran’s leadership, according to US officials.

The deal would reportedly extend the current ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.

“President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” a White House official told CBS, the BBC’s US news partner.
