US President Dismisses Investment Claims During G7 Summit
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday rejected reports claiming that a $300 billion fund would be created for Iran as part of ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran, stating that the United States has no plans to finance such an initiative.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Trump dismissed speculation surrounding the proposed fund and clarified that the US government would not contribute financially.
โThe United States is not investing in it,โ Trump said, directly denying reports that linked Washington to a large-scale economic package for Iran.
His remarks came amid growing discussion about the terms of a proposed memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries, which aims to reduce tensions and establish a framework for future negotiations.
President Warns Deal Remains Conditional
At the same time, Trump stressed that the agreement has not yet been finalized and remains subject to further review by both sides.
He cautioned that Washington retains all options if negotiations fail to meet US expectations. According to Trump, the current understanding should not be viewed as a completed settlement until all outstanding issues are resolved.
The president added that the United States could reverse course if it becomes dissatisfied with the direction of talks.
โWe can return to dropping bombs if we are not happy,โ Trump said, underscoring the administrationโs willingness to maintain military pressure alongside diplomatic engagement.
Uncertainty Persists Ahead of Planned Signing
Meanwhile, uncertainty continues to surround several reported elements of the proposed agreement, including economic measures and long-term commitments expected to be discussed in upcoming negotiations.
Officials from both countries have yet to release the full text of the memorandum, leaving key details undisclosed.
The latest comments from Trump highlight the fragile nature of the diplomatic process as preparations continue for a formal signing ceremony expected later this week.
As discussions progress, international observers remain focused on whether the negotiations can produce a lasting framework for stability and future cooperation.
