No Deal with Iran Needed, Trump Tells Vance to Focus on Fighting Corruption
US President Donald Trump has said there is no need for any deal with Iran. He has also instructed Vice President JD Vance to give his “full attention” to tackling crime and corruption in Democratic-led US cities instead of holding talks with Tehran.
Mr. Trump made the remarks in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday, November 12. The Times of Israel and Reuters reported the development.
In the post, Mr. Trump claimed that stopping ongoing crime and corruption in Democratic-led cities would save more money than any deal with Iran.
“If we can correct this massive criminal activity, we can quickly balance our budget. Corruption is in the blood of the Democrat leadership!” he wrote.
Taking a hard line on Iran, the US president said, “We don’t need a deal with Iran. That day has long passed. We have hundreds of billions of dollars of their money, and we control their strait too!”
It is worth noting that Mr. Vance has recently been actively involved in diplomatic contacts and efforts to explore possible talks with Iran. However, Mr. Trump’s latest message has raised fresh questions about the future of negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
