Why It Matters
US President Donald Trump announced that Iran has agreed to give up nuclear weapons development and acquisition as part of an ongoing agreement discussion with the United States. Trump indicated that Iran was close to signing a paper related to this agreement.
As part of an agreement with the United States currently being discussed, Iran agreed not only to give up nuclear weapons development, but also their acquisition, US President Donald Trump said.
"They've agreed to that. <…> I mean, if they signed the agreement, they will have agreed to ‘We will not have a nuclear weapon or bomb, we will not develop one, we will not buy one,’" Trump said. "You know, originally it was ‘We will not develop,’ I said, ‘What about if they buy that?’ They went into two-week negotiations, but in the end we got that."
"Now we got it if they signed the paper. In theory they're pretty close to signing a paper," the US leader added.
