Abu Dhabi: US President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran has an American proposal over its rapidly advancing nuclear programme as negotiations between the two countries go on.
Trump’s remarks represent the first time he’s acknowledged an American proposal is with Tehran after multiple rounds of negotiations between US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Negotiations have gotten into the “expert” level — meaning the two sides are trying to see if they can reach agreements on details of any possible deal. Trump made the comment aboard Air Force One as he ended his trip to the United Arab Emirates, the last stop on his three-nation tour of the Middle East.
“They have a proposal,” Trump said. “But most importantly, they know they have to move quickly, or something bad is going to happen.”
Trump did not elaborate on the substance of the proposal and Iran did not immediately acknowledge having it.
