Trump Defends Gulf Troop Presence and Previews Iran Deal

Following the G7 Summit in France, US President Donald Trump announced that a new agreement with Iran is expected to be signed in Switzerland within the next 48 hours. When questioned about the future of US forces in the Gulf region, Trump indicated there is no set withdrawal timeline, noting that troops will likely remain because “it’s a good place stay.” He also expressed a flexible stance on Iran’s military capabilities, stating it is only fair for Tehran to possess ballistic missiles in “relative proportion” to regional neighbors like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Finally, the president clarified that the upcoming 60-day negotiation period with Iran is not a strict deadline, provided the country maintains appropriate behavior.
